"According to Wang, China's nuclear industry generated 54.8 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity last year, less than 2% of the nation's total. The government wants the nuclear industry to contribute 4% of the nation's energy needs by 2020.

Wang said the government has strict controls on prospecting and mining of uranium ore but allows foreign experts to assist Chinese geological authorities in their prospecting efforts. "

Only 4 %!

Only 4% yes, but 4% of a quickly growing total amount!.
