Official projects China's 2015 nuclear power resources (2)

"With their good performances and the carefully chosen locations of the sites, China's nuclear power plants have little chance of repeating what happened in Fukushima," Zhang said, referring to the Japanese nuclear plant that was hit by massive earthquake and tsunami last year, resulting in meltdowns and the release of radioactivity.

The State Council, or China's cabinet, said in October that the country will not construct any nuclear projects in inland regions during the 2011-2015 period, but only construct a few projects in coastal areas that have gone through adequate justification processes.

All of China's six nuclear plant are located along its coast.

The State Council also stressed that China will apply the world's highest safety requirements to new nuclear power projects and adhere to third-generation nuclear safety standards in new projects.
