Abstract:

Recently due to the global warming，the “ Low Carbon Economy” has attracted the world's attention.In order to achieve the goal of low carbon economy,many countries selected the development of nuclear power—a high efficient and sanitary energy source.Jiangxi Province located at the middle Yangtze region.Its economy lagged behind the coastal east regions for decades.Since the“Tenth Five Planning”，its economy has made a rapid development,but the power shortage and environment pollution issues emerged.With only a small amout of coal resources,no oil or gas resources,Jiangxi Province has a very urgent necessory to explore the nuclear power.Jiangxi Province has many advantages including stable geological structure，complex river systems with abundant water，abundant uranium resources as well as reserves of talents in nuclear industry.Therefore，it is feasible to develop the nuclear power in Jiangxi Province.The development of nuclear power can not only meet the power require of Jiangxi’s economic development,but also prevent the environment from carbon pollution.
