China builds world's first commercial land-based small modular nuclear reactor
China's building the demonstration project of the "Linglong-1," a small modular reactor in the country's southern island province of Hainan. It's the world's first such type of nuclear reactor approved by the IAEA, hoping to serve the region's diverse power needs, including remote towns. Among the first planned users of the new power source will be a local desalinator and a neighbouring industrial park.
