BEIJING -- Chinese President Xi Jinping's government is poised to greatly expand the country's nuclear power generation, with plans to build six to eight new reactors a year over the next five years.
Under its 13th five-year national development plan, which starts in 2016, China will invest 500 billion yuan ($78.7 billion) to introduce domestically developed reactors. The new five-year plan is to be formally adopted at next spring's annual session of the National People's Congress, China's parliament.
