New milestone for nuclear power in China

New milestone for nuclear power in China: http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/NN_Latest_Chinese_nuclear_milestone_1306121.html ..."Construction at Yangjiang began with unit 1 in December 2008. Work at unit 2 was started in August 2009 and at unit 3 in November 2010. Construction of unit 4 was meant to have started in early 2011, but this was suspended pending the results of a post-Fukushima analysis by Chinese safety authorities. Two further units are planned for Yangjiang but their schedules have also been subject to review.
Units 1, 2 and 3 are slated to begin commercial operation in 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively.
Construction projects already underway should see China bring online some 27 new reactors by the end of 2015 - in addition to the 15 units currently in operation."
