China's Plan to Replace Coal Energy With Nuclear

• https://www.nextbigfuture.com by Brian Wang

Russia alone has already accumulated about 1 million tonnes of depleted uranium hexafluoride. U-238 of near-nuclear purity can be used to produce fuel for fast reactors. Russia's depleted uranium alone carries energy which is 100 times greater than global annual uranium production.Russia is developing next generation fast reactors. BN-1200M currently under development and the BREST-OD-300 experimental demonstration reactor already under construction. China is buying Russian fast reactors and the fast reactor technology.The CFR600 demonstration fast reactor (CDFR) is the first major step in China Institute of Atomic Energy's (CIAE's) program. CIAE projections show fast reactors increasing to at least 200 GWe by 2050 and 1400 GWe by 2100.
