By Zheng Jinran | China Daily | Updated: 2016-04-20 07:49

China has maintained strict standards of nuclear safety under growing pressure as it becomes a leading global player in the atomic energy industry, the national environmental watchdog said on Tuesday.

The nation currently has 30 nuclear reactors in operation and 26 under construction, which is the largest portfolio of nuclear facilities being built worldwide, said Chen Jining, the minister of environmental protection.

Six nuclear reactors went online in China in 2015, and authorities issued permits that allowed construction to begin on eight others.
