Energy resource is an essential prerequisite for realizing the strategic objectives of the national economic development in China. By the end of this century the objectives of the national economic development are as follows: the national annual gross value of industrial and agricultural output will be quadrupled as that in 1980; the annual average revenue per capita is expected to be in 800-1000 US dollars. For realizing these objectives, a significant discrepancy is anticipated between the energy demand and energy supplies. It is concluded, therefore, that the utilization of nuclear power should be regarded as one of the components constituting China's energy resources. From a longterm point of view, nuclear power will play an even more important role with each passing day.
