China is giving people a peek behind the curtain of its atomic energy program, hoping that “nuclear tourism” can help shore up support for a sector key to its clean energy ambitions.
China General Nuclear Power Corp., the country’s largest atomic electricity generator, opened an online booking system to allow tourists to plan visits to nine nuclear power stations across the country. The company also published a booklet of tourist information including hand-drawn guide maps for the facilities, the company said on its Wechat account.
