According to a recent article in the Singapore Straits Times on September 22, nuclear experts from the United States and other Western countries are increasingly turning to China for collaboration in testing experimental nuclear reactors. With funding challenges at home, many Western scientists see China as a promising hub for developing safer and more cost-effective nuclear technologies.

This month, China Nuclear Power announced that a joint venture will be established to build and operate the "Tangbo Reactor," designed by Washington-based TerraPower, which is led by Bill Gates. In previous months, Canadian company Natural Resources Canada and the U.S. Oak Ridge National Laboratory have also partnered with Chinese entities. The former has agreed to build a new "cyclic fuel" nuclear power plant with China National Nuclear Corporation and Shanghai Electric Group, while the latter is collaborating with research institutions in Shanghai on molten salt reactor technology. Industry analysts note that China is becoming an attractive destination for international partners looking to develop next-generation nuclear energy solutions.
While most advanced economies are gradually shifting toward solar and wind energy, China's rapidly growing energy demand has led to significant investments in various types of new power plants. The country has the most ambitious reactor construction plan globally, aiming to increase its nuclear power capacity to 58 gigawatts by 2020.
Dr. M.V. Ramana from the University of British Columbia believes that the future of nuclear power looks brighter in China than anywhere else in the world. MIT professor John Fossberg added, “China is the largest market, far ahead of any other region when it comes to new power plant development. If we don’t act together, the low-carbon energy sector will be dominated by China.â€
