In this paper

we discuss the world’s recent development of nuclear power

which does not seem to achieve what has been anticipated by the groups of experts.In this regard

there is before us a heavy responsibility and a long way to go.Nuclear power is very important for China’s environmental protection and economic development.Suggestions are made for longer-term demand for the electricity and long-term nuclear power plan in China.According to the nuclear power strategy adopted by developed nations

we believe that China’s nuclear power strategy and nuclear techniques shall be based on advanced PWR

such as AP1000

CAP1000

CAP1400 and CAP1700

which will be the main NPP types in a long time in China

and the latter two shall be highly competitive in the world.For generation IV reactors

the SCWR (Supercritical Water Reactor) is more suitable than others

in terms of the industrial development in PWRs and fossil fuel super critical generator systems in China.In addition

investment should be increased in fast reactors to achieve the fuel closed-cycle

and attentions should be paid to the TWR (Traveling-wave Reactor)

and small and medium-sized reactor as well.Finally

conclusions are given for large scale development of nuclear power in China.
