(ECNS) -- China plans to resume nuclear power projects in inland areas, the National Business Daily reported on Thursday, citing a senior energy official. [Special coverage]

Wang Yumin, deputy director of the National Energy Administration, said in an interview that nuclear plant projects along the coast will be started first, and that inland projects will be listed in the next five-year plan.

Local citizens oppose such projects, he said, but implementing third generation technology can avoid Fukushima-like nuclear catastrophes.

Wang said it takes time for the public to dispel doubt and that much publicity work needs to be done.

Nuclear projects were included in Premier Li Keqiang's government work report, which shows his decision to combat air pollution, Wang added.

China's State Council issued a notice in October 2012, saying that China will approve a small number of nuclear power projects along its coast by 2015, but there was no plan for inland ones.

China has approved at least six nuclear power facilities, a report in Thursday's Shanghai Securities News said, though none of them has publicly announced a start to construction.
