China could approve another 100 nuclear reactors in the next decade, says industry lobby 🇨🇳 ☢️

After greenlighting a record 11 reactors so far in 2024, Beijing could commit to a “realistic target” of 10 approvals per year to 2035, said an official at the Chinese Nuclear Society

⚡️ Such a rate of expansion would see China’s nuclear power capacity almost quadrupling to 200GW by 2035, enough to meet 10% of electricity demand, said Tian Jiashu, deputy secretary-general of the Chinese Nuclear Society

(Yes, must recognize the lobby is talking their book)

🇬🇧 Major war could destroy the British army in six months - minister

Alistair Carns said a rate of casualties similar to that prompted by Russia's invasion of Ukraine would lead to the army being "expended" within six to 12 months.

He said it illustrated the need to "generate mass rapidly in the event of a crisis".

Official figures show the army had 109,245 personnel on 1 October, including 25,814 volunteer reservists.

Carns, a former Royal Marines colonel who is also a reservist, said Russia was suffering losses of around 1,500 soldiers, killed or wounded, a day.

"In a war of scale - not a limited intervention, but one similar to Ukraine - our army for example on the current casualty rates would be expended, as part of a broader multinational coalition, in six months to a year," he added.

"That doesn't mean to say we need a bigger army, but it does mean we must be able to generate depth and mass rapidly in the event of a crisis.

"The reserves are critical, absolutely central, to that process.

"Without them we cannot generate mass, we cannot meet the plethora of defence tasks and challenges that we require, and we cannot seamlessly integrate the very best experts into the heart of our armed forces.”

Army reservists serve in their spare time, getting paid to train outside their main jobs.

Carns said the reality of wars such as the one being fought in Ukraine was that they were "attritional in nature".

He also said the UK needed to "catch up with Nato allies" by placing a greater emphasis on its reserves.
