Nuclear power will provide reliable support in exploring space and deep sea, and achieving the goals of carbon neutrality by 2060, Gu Jun, president of China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), told Global Times on Wednesday.
"Our techniques have been demonstrated to be the most advanced in the world by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)," said Gu, who is also a deputy to the National People's Congress (NPC). Gu said the domestically designed third-generation nuclear reactor Hualong One is a representative of China's 66-year-nuclear industry development, which had reached a world leading standard.
