China's top economic planner says the country is building more nuclear power plants than anywhere else in the world. A recent report from the National Development and Reform Commission says China approved 14 nuclear power reactors last year, with 24 more under construction.

The total installed nuclear power capacity will top 25 million kilowatts when they are completed. The NDRC says China will further promote nuclear power development in its energy restructuring to cut carbon dioxide emissions.
