BEIJING — China plans to build its third commercial nuclear power plant on the southern island of Hainan, the China Daily said Tuesday. It said the plant will have a capacity of 300,000 kilowatts and will be one of several power plants aimed at boosting the island’s output to 2 million kilowatts, almost 10 times current capacity.
China is already building two nuclear power plants, one at Daya Bay in Guangdong province near Hong Kong and the other at Qinshan in Jiangsu near Shanghai.
