Nuclear energy in China

     China uses nuclear energy and less than 5% of the energy they produce among the nation is nuclear energy.
     As we all know, due to the economy growth, the role of nuclear power is getting more and more important for China. Right now, they have 14 power plants working and 25 under construction.
     After 3.11, the State Council announced that they will conduct the safety checks for all the power plants, but there was no sense of stopping those plants in the future. Rather, they are planning to put more and more money on nuclear energy.

     What Chinese people are thinking about using nuclear energy must have been a spot to look at. It seems that most of the scientists and economists are trying to convince civilians that what they have as nuclear energy is much much safer than the one in Fukushima. And it also seems that people are easily convinced by this, and willing to have nuclear energy as an energy source.
     Here are some videos I found on YouTube about the nuclear energy in China.
