China approved construction of its first nuclear power project since the Fukushima disaster in Japan almost four years ago brought the program to a standstill.
China’s State Council gave the go-ahead on Feb. 17 to begin building two new reactors at China General Nuclear Power Group’s Hongyanhe plant in the country’s northeast, the National Business Daily newspaper reported, citing people familiar with the situation. E-mails and calls to China General Nuclear’s spokesman weren’t immediately answered.
