FUZHOU Wholesale Jerseys Online , Sept. 17 (Xinhua) -- A fourth unit of the Fuqing branch of China National Nuclear Corp. (CNNC) began commercial operations on Sunday in east China's Fujian Province.


The China-designed No. 4 unit brings the total installed capacity of the project to 4.35 million kw. The first unit was put into use in 2014.


The nuclear power units in Fuqing have generated 42 billion kwh of electricity, equivalent to a cut in coal consumption of nearly 17 million tonnes and a drop in emissions of 55 million tonnes of carbon dioxide.


The government has approved the CNNC Fuqing branch to build six nuclear power units. The No. 5 and 6 units will be a pilot project featuring Hualong One technology, a domestically developed third-generation reactor design.


In May, the hemispherical dome, weighing 340 tonnes and measuring 46.8 meters in diameter Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping , was installed by crane on the No. 5 unit, marking the completion of construction work on the pilot project and the beginning of the assembly stage.


Currently, CNNC has 17 operating nuclear power units. China has 36 operational nuclear reactors and is building 20 more.


By 2020, China aims to have 58 million kw of nuclear power capacity in operation.


On Sept. 1, China's legislature passed a Nuclear Safety Law Wholesale Jerseys From China , which reflects the country's rational, coordinated and balanced nuclear safety outlook, as well as its commitment to fulfilling obligations under international treaties.

Six NASA-backed research subjects who have been cooped up in a Mars-like habitat on a remote Hawaii volcano since January emerged from isolation Sunday. They devoured fresh-picked tropical fruits Wholesale Jerseys China , vegetables and a fluffy egg strata after eating mostly freeze-dried food during their isolation.


The crew of four men and two women are part of a study designed to better understand the psychological impacts a long-term space mission would have on astronauts.

After eight months of isolation in a simulated space home atop a remote Hawaii volcano Wholesale Jerseys , six NASA-backed research subjects emerge from their Mars-like habitat on Sunday and return to civilization.

The data they produced will help NASA select individuals and groups with the right mix of traits to best cope with the stress, isolation and danger of a two-to-three year trip to Mars. The U.S. space agency hopes to send humans to the red planet by the 2030s.


The crew was quarantined for eight months on a vast plain below the summit of the Big Island’s Mauna Loa, the world’s largest active volcano. After finishing their stint, they feasted on pineapple, mango and papaya.


While isolated Cheap NCAA College Jerseys , the crew members wore space suits and travelled in teams whenever they left their small dome living structure. They ate mostly freeze-dried or canned food on their simulated voyage to Mars.

All of their communications with the outside world were subjected to a 20-minute delay — the time it takes for signals to get from Mars to Earth. The crew was tasked with conducting geological surveys, mapping studies and maintaining their self-sufficient habitat as if they were actually living on Mars.


The team’s information technology specialist, Laura Lark, thinks a manned voyage to Mars is a reasonable goal for NASA. The project is the fifth in a series of six NASA-funded studies at the University of Hawaii facility called the Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation Cheap College Jerseys , or HI-SEAS. NASA has dedicated about $2.5 million for rese
