China races ahead of big powers like US, Russia, France, India in this vital sector, at top position in..., continuously increasing...
New Delhi: China has secured the top position in nuclear energy, surpassing all countries in the world. Currently, China has the highest number of nuclear units in the world, allowing it to produce the most energy globally. Until now, the USA and France dominated the nuclear energy sector. According to a report released by the China Nuclear Energy Administration (CNEA) on Sunday, 27 April 2025 for the first time, China has become the world's leader in terms of the overall scale of nuclear energy.
The report states, 'Currently, there are 102 nuclear energy units in China, with a total installed capacity of 113 million kilowatts, which includes those that are operational, under construction, and approved for construction. In terms of the total scale of nuclear energy, China has, for the first time, become the world's leading nuclear energy producer.' The association mentioned that currently, there are 28 nuclear energy units under construction in China, with a total capacity of 33.65 million kilowatts.
China is continuously increasing its nuclear power capacity and has been in the first place in the world in terms of the capacity of power units under construction for 18 consecutive years. The report mentioned, 'China has 58 commercially operating nuclear power units, with a total installed capacity of 60.96 million kilowatts. Additionally, our country's nuclear power production is continuously increasing.'
Currently, 32 countries in the world are operating nuclear power plants. These countries generate approximately one-tenth of the world's electricity from nuclear energy. Most of these are located in Europe, North America, and East Asia. So far, the United States has been the largest producer of nuclear energy, while France ranks second. However, it produces about 70% of its total electricity from nuclear energy.
Some countries used to operate nuclear reactors, but currently, they do not have any nuclear power plants in operation. Among them, Italy shut down all its nuclear stations by 1990. Lithuania closed its nuclear station in 2009 as it was using a dangerous RBMK reactor. Kazakhstan abolished nuclear power in 1999 but is possibly planning to restart it under a referendum by 2035.

Dakota Johnson Says the Failure of 'Madame Web ''Wasn't My Fault'
Dakota Johnson is explaining what went wrong with her 2024 superhero movie Madame Web, which was a notable flop at the box office "I think unfortunately with Madame Web, it started out as something and turned into something else. And I was just sort of along for the ride at that point," Johnson said Johnson, whose latest movie Materialists releases in theaters June 13, was named Worst Performance by the Razzie Awards for her role in Madame WebMore than one year after Dakota Johnson's 2024 superhero movie Madame Web flopped at the box office, the actress is looking back on why the movie didn't work out. 'It wasn't my fault," Johnson, 35, said with a laugh, as she and her Materialists director Celine Song spoke with the Los Angeles Times for an article published Wednesday, June 4. Johnson had been asked whether she was focused on making smaller, indie movies like her new romantic comedy with Song and recent movies like Daddio and Splitsville, which Johnson's company TeaTime Pictures produced. 'There's this thing that happens now where a lot of creative decisions are made by committee. Or made by people who don't have a creative bone in their body," Johnson said of Madame Web. "And it's really hard to make art that way. Or to make something entertaining that way. And I think unfortunately with Madame Web, it started out as something and turned into something else. And I was just sort of along for the ride at that point. But that happens. Bigger-budget movies fail all the time." Johnson starred alongside Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O'Connor, Isabela Merced, Tahar Rahim, Mike Epps, Adam Scott and Emma Roberts in Madame Web, one of Sony Pictures' Spider-Man spinoff movies. The movie follows Johnson's character Cassandra Webb as she gains clairvoyant abilities that allow her to see the future of characters portrayed by Sweeney, O'Connor and Merced. While the film never directly connects to Tom Holland's Spider-Man movies, the characters are closely associated with Spider-Man and Peter Parker in many Marvel comic book stories. Madame Web received negative reviews from critics and audiences alike and won the 2025 Razzie Awards' awards for Worst Picture, Worst Screenplay and Worst Actress for Johnson back in February. Despite all the negative attention the movie received, Johnson did not appear concerned with the long-term impact of Madame Web while speaking with the L.A. Times. 'I don't have a Band-Aid over it,' she said. 'There's no part of me that's like, 'Oh, I'll never do that again' to anything. I've done even tiny movies that didn't do well. Who cares?' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. In Materialists, Johnson strays far from superhero fare and instead portrays a New York City matchmaker whose love life becomes caught between two men: an ex named John (Chris Evans) who she reconnects with on the same night she meets a new man named Harry (Pedro Pascal). 'I think a lot of what I read these days is void of soul and heart, and [writer-director Song] is all soul and heart," Johnson told the L.A. Times of the movie, when asked why she has not made more romantic comedies. "I really love a rom-com if it feels like I can connect to the people in it. And I think I've found it hard to connect to the people in some of the ones that I've been offered.' Materialists is in theaters June 13. Read the original article on People
