Nuclear Reactors 162 - China is Working on It's Own Generation III Power Reactor Design
China has very ambitious plans for nuclear power. They have twenty one operating nuclear power reactors and there are twenty eight more under construction. Nuclear power supplies two percent of the electricity in China and they want to raise that to six percent by 2020. Then they want to raise that to sixteen percent by 2030. Most of the reactor construction involves what are called Generation Two reactors, the current widely used type of power reactor.

Nuclear Reactors 161 - India Seeks Trade Agrements to Expand Nuclear Power Generation
India is one of the few countries in the world that is dedicated to a massive expansion of nuclear power generation. Currently India has twenty operating nuclear reactors which supplies about three percent of their electricity. There are seven more reactors under construction. India has announced that its want to supply twenty five percent of its electricity from nuclear power by 2050. The recently elected Prime Minister of India is a very strong supporter of nuclear power.
