China has 10 units under construction, more than any other country, with capacity likely to increase by 9% in the coming years.
Gross available nuclear generation capacity is 48.7 GW, an increase of about 18% since 2017.

WANO said the Shanghai office will be led by the director, Joel Bohlmann, and three deputy directors; Ding Yunfeng from State Power Investment Corporation Limited, Zou Yongping from China General Nuclear and QiTunfeng from China National Nuclear Power Co, Ltd.
“The strategic rationale for setting up the new office is to ensure WANO is in a strong position to cater for the dramatic growth in the development of nuclear power plants in China and across Asia – where around two-thirds of the world’s new reactors are under construction,” a statement said. “With a growing demand for WANO's services from new units, the organisation can ensure that these units make a safe and reliable transition from construction to operation.”
