China should further develop nuclear energy because nuclear power accounts for only 2% of its total power generation capacity－the thirtieth and almost the lowest in all the countries possessing nuclear power. After Japan’s nuclear power accident in March 2011, nuclear power development in China was stopped, the approval of new nuclear power plants suspended, and the national nuclear safety check carried out. Not until October 2012 was the approval carefully resumed. With the improvement of technology and safety measures, the possibility for nuclear accidents can be lowered to the lowest degree. In other words, nuclear power can be developed and used safely.
