China has deployed almost no new commercial nuclear reactor in the last ten years despite all the talk of nuclear energy. The real bottleneck is a lack of trained , experienced personnel to safely operate new plants.

China's installed nuclear capacity was 14.7 GW after the country added two reactors with 2.2 GW in 2013. China's government plans to boost nuclear capacity to 58 GW by 2020. At the end of 2013, China had 31 reactors with almost 35 GW of additional capacity under construction, almost half of the global nuclear power capacity being built.

Mainland China has 22 nuclear power reactors in operation, 26 under construction, and more about to start construction.
