Beijing is forecast to triple its nuclear capacity in the next 20 years, ousting the US as number one nuclear-power producer, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).
“China is coming back strong. Today there are about 60 nuclear power plants under construction and more than one-third of them are in China. China is growing and as a result of that we’ll soon see China overtaking the United States as the Number 1 nuclear power in the world,” the IEA CEO Fatih Birol said, as quoted by Marketwatch.

According to the IEA, the US, which has been the leader in the industry since the 1960s, is facing two problems that will lead to losing its lead. First, America isn’t investing enough in nuclear power (neither does Europe). Second, it’s not doing enough to extend the lifetime of existing plants.

“If it continues like that, the US nuclear capacity will go from 20 percent to 7 percent,” Birol said. The US nuclear industry will face the same drawbacks it sees in solar energy.

“China is learning by doing, bringing costs down and therefore they are now ready to export technology and are much more cost effective than others. And they challenge the established exporters such as the US, Japan, Korea and European countries,” he said.

Birol added that China will be the main driver for reshaping the energy market in the upcoming years.

“I will give you an example... Only five months ago the Chinese government took a decision to limit the use of coal and move to [liquefied natural gas]. As a result of that, Chinese LNG import increased more than 50 percent and LNG prices doubled from $6 to $12 dollars in Asia pacific region,” he said.

“When China changes, everything changes... The new China energy policies mean a new phase for the global energy markets,” he added.

I think the critical part of the nuclear power plant are probably made elsewhere.
Plus the cost of cleaning up a formsnt nuclesr power plant is prohibitive. Toshiba found out the hard way.

China currently THE World's most Advanced and Developed Nuke Power technologies, got many versions of self-developed reactors, clean, efficient, safe and exporting Globally.

USA mostly very old outdated and unsafe power plants that is from older than their 3-mile Island era:



One version of Chinese reactor no need water cooling and it is air-cool, and automatically shutdown safely, won't melt.

The most advance turbines, steam and gas turbines are manufactured in the west. China manufacture same turbines under license but its for the older less efficient models.
You will need steam turbines in air cooled nuclear power stations as heated air will be use to heat a fluid to turn the western built super efficuent turbines.
The air cooled nuclear power plant built in china under license from european design ( germany) which is ironic as germans has phased out and closed down their nuclear reactors after fukushima.

Turbines are low technology and classic. not just Chinese made their own development, and even Taiwan also made.
Chinese made gas turbine for ships, exported to Russia:

 

[syed putra]

Chinese made turbines, even russian or any other still cannot match those made by GE, siemens or honeywell in terms of efficiency.
Currently china has license to manufacture the older GE and siemens turbines. But not the new ones.
