Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - From Nuclear Weapons to Global Energy Superpower In 1964, China detonated its first atomic bomb in the remote desert of Lop Nur, marking its dramatic entry into the nuclear age. Today, less than sixty years later, China operates the world's fastest-growing nuclear power industry and is building nearly half of all new nuclear reactors globally. The Dragon's Nuclear Renaissance tells the remarkable story of how a nation that once struggled to develop basic nuclear technology has emerged as the dominant force reshaping the global atomic energy landscape. Drawing on declassified documents and extensive research, Douglas Donovan traces China's nuclear journey from its secretive 1950s partnership with the Soviet Union through the bitter Sino-Soviet split that forced China to develop indigenous capabilities. The book reveals how the organizational structures, technical expertise, and industrial foundations built for China's weapons program became the bedrock for today's civilian nuclear expansion. As China races toward its goal of 200 gigawatts of nuclear capacity by 2035-enough to power dozens of cities the size of Beijing-this comprehensive account examines the technological innovations, policy decisions, and strategic investments that enabled this transformation. With China approving 10 new reactors worth $ 27.45 billion in 2025 alone, The Dragon's Nuclear Renaissance provides essential insights into how nuclear power is becoming central to both China's energy security and its global influence. From the uranium mines of Xinjiang to the cutting-edge reactors powering China's megacities, this book reveals how China's nuclear renaissance is not just transforming the country's energy landscape-it's reshaping the global balance of technological and economic power in the 21st century. Essential reading for understanding China's rise as the world's nuclear energy superpower.…
