China is in the period of great development of nuclear power; the latest statistics show that China currently has 34 nuclear power reactors in operation, being the fourth major nuclear countries after the United States, France and Russia.

The research team at ANBOUND Consulting believes that while building more nuclear reactors, China should consider the nuclear waste disposal and recycling in advance.

It is understood that under the current circumstances, China will face the pressures of nuclear power reactor spent fuel storage, making it imperative to deal with waste management and spent fuel recycle before this happens.

However, nuclear waste disposal is not an easy task; considering the public is concerned about nuclear waste disposal, the location of the project will be a sensitive issue.
