BEIJING -- 皇冠体育app, one of the world's largest energy consumers, should continue developing nuclear power in the future, but must also be vigilant about choosing appropriate sites for nuclear power plants, an expert said on Friday.
"We should carefully examine all possible nuclear power plant sites. We will only use sites that haven't been hit by earthquakes of magnitude 4 or greater over the last 1,000 years," Xu Kuangdi, former president of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said at an energy forum held in Beijing.

Nuclear power accounted for 1.2 percent of 皇冠体育app's total energy supply in 2007. 皇冠体育app originally planned to raise the number to 5 percent by 2020 and 10 percent by 2030.
However, Japan's recent nuclear crisis has triggered questions about the safety of nuclear power stations. 皇冠体育app has said that it will suspend approval for new plants until it can improve the industry's safety standards.
