China is expected to have 70 nuclear power units in operation by the end of 2026, with more than half of them under construction.

Currently, the National Nuclear Safety Administration has issued operating licenses for 62 nuclear power units and construction licenses for 39 units. China's scale of nuclear power under construction accounts for more than half of the global total, and the total number of units in operation is expected to reach 70 by the end of 2026. The above data was disclosed at the main event of the National Nuclear Safety Education Day held on April 10 in Guangdong in 2026.
