Nuclear power plans go into overdrive

China is building two uranium processing plants in the north and south of the country to secure nuclear fuel supply amid a massive plan for nuclear power projects, officials at China National Nuclear Corp said on Friday.

The two plants will be built in Cangzhou in Hebei province and somewhere in Guangdong, where many reactors are based, Pan Jianming, the CNNC spokesman told reporters in Beijing.

"Everything is going smoothly in Cangzhou. We have already finished the preliminary work and are only waiting for government approval, but we are still deciding where to build the other plant in Guangdong," he said.
