China has expanded its peaceful application of nuclear technology
into wider areas such as industry, agriculture, and medicine, which
produced annual income of 15 billion yuan or about 1.8 billion US
dollars last year.
The State Atom Energy Agency says the country has 300 enterprises
engaged in manufaturing and developing nuclear technology-related
products.
The agency says in the future, China will focus on developing
energy-saving technologies, environmental protection and
development of life-science programs so as to fully optimize the
technology.
