China’s New Breeder Reactors May Produce More Than Just Watts

Cars That Think

Jutting out from the coast of China’s Fujian province, Changbiao Island may seem small and unremarkable. This is where the China National Nuclear Corp. is building two fast-neutron nuclear breeder reactors, the first of which is slated to connect to the grid in 2023, the second in 2026. Not so in China, India, and Russia.
