Rational Structure of Nuclear Industry Takes Shape

China has shaped a rational structure of nuclear industry by streamlining operation in the sector and balancing use of the technology in military and civilian fields.

Kang Rixin, director with China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), said this in Beijing Saturday while addressing a meeting commemorating the 50th anniversary of the establishment of China's nuclear industry.

China has adjusted its nuclear industry to the economic development of the country and shifted the emphasis to the civilian use of nuclear technology, Kang said.

Statistics from CNNC show that in 2004 combined profits of the corporation reached 800 million yuan (US$96.7 million), up 226 percent over that in 2003.

Kang said in the past decade the development of three aspects such as nuclear power, nuclear fuel and applied nuclear technology, contributed greatly to China's nuclear industry.

The construction of China's nuclear power has made remarkable achievements in the past years, he said, citing that till the end of 2004 a total of 11 nuclear generators including those under construction have a generating capacity of 8700,000 kilowatts, 1.6 percent of the country's whole generating capacity.

According to the plan of China's energy structure adjustment, the generating capacity of China's nuclear generators will reach 40 million kilowatts in 2020, four percent of the whole in the country.
