China’s nuclear power capacity has increased from 31.4 gigawatts in 2016 to 58.7 GW in May—an 87 percent increase in the last 10 years, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
The EIA’s analysis of China’s nuclear power growth was based on information gathered by the agency, as well as data from the World Bank, Global Energy Monitor, Global Nuclear Power Tracker, and the International Atomic Energy Agency. It was published on June 5.

A model is described for inelastic hadron/nucleus interactions at energies between 0.1 and 5 GeV. The model includes particle production, described by a previous model, and cascade proton and neutron emission, described via empirical formulas and nuclear excitation energy. All stable hadrons can be used as primary or secondary particles. The model is constructed via the Monte Carlo generation of complete events. Average multiplicities and single and double differential cross sections are compared with experimental data and find good agreement.
