China 'in nuclear power advance'
China has developed its own technologies that will enable it to reprocess spent nuclear fuel, state television has reported.
The country has launched an ambitious programme to build a number of new nuclear power stations. The country is building a number of new nuclear power plants in an effort to diversify its energy sources.
At the moment it mostly relies on coal. This latest development could help its nuclear power programme.It claims this new process could mean that supply will now last for 3,000 years.
FACT - Compare and contrast with the lights going out in Britain after about 2015 following a decade of dithering on nuclear power by Labour, plus the catastrophic decision to close our power plants to appease the 'Global Warming' Marxists.

Now this does concern me. There are conflicting reports about how much available uranium there is on the planet but there is probably not enough for the Chinese to satisfy their demands without a few uranium wars along the way.

Food for thought."A thousand candles can be lit from a single candle without shortening the life of that candle."

I'm happy to let the Chinese have Uranus. As far as I'm aware it's a long way away and doesn't offer a well-defined solid surface for us to base anything on.0 -
