Description
Summary:This study explores the measures to achieve the global 1.5 °C temperature rise target (1.5 °C target) by analyzing the feasibility and obstacles of nuclear power in China. The 1.5 °C target imposes stricter requirements on China's nuclear power. Considering the available nuclear power plant sites, nuclear power layout, equipment manufacture & supply, nuclear power plant construction capacity, supportive operation & man-agement talents, investment, cost effectiveness, and public acceptance, the achievement of the development objectives of nuclear power in China considering the 1.5 °C Target is difficult. However, it is possible if favorable decisions and policies are made.
