Hualong One reactor 'worthy of promotion'

China is capable of mass production of its third-generation Hualong One reactor, which could be seen as the latest "business card of China", a leading nuclear industry executive said on Wednesday.

Wang Shoujun, chairman of China National Nuclear Corp, said that the Hualong One reactor technology is advanced and mature enough to be promoted.

"The Hualong One reactor has passed all safety requirements and preliminary safety reviews and China should give priority to the country's third-generation nuclear technology in future nuclear power projects," said Wang, who is attending the annual session of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Beijing.
