Beijing-based Betavolt said its nuclear battery is the first in the world to realise the miniaturisation of atomic energy, placing nickel-63 isotopes into a module smaller than a coin.
Zhang Wei, CEO of the company, said the new type of nuclear battery can achieve stable power generation for 50 years without recharging or maintenance. It produces no external radiation.
The strategic partnership between Kronos Advanced Technologies and Yasheng Group marks a significant milestone in the development of nuclear battery technology. The two firms have agreed to collaborate on the research, development, and commercialization of the Nickel-63 nuclear battery, focusing on both the U.S. and Chinese markets.
Moreover, in December 2023, China commenced operation of the world''s first fourth-generation nuclear power plant, the 200 megawatt (MW)-producing, gas-cooled Shidaowan-1, in China''s northern Shandong province.
The nuclear revolution and its critics. Nuclear revolution theorists claim the bomb has fundamentally altered the nature of warfare.

In sum, China is a leader not only in the quantity of nuclear energy publications, but also in “high-quality” publications. Figure5: Weighted shares of scientific publications in nuclear energy by country, 2023 Figure6: H-Index for scientific publications in nuclear energy, 2023 Patents
As Jacopo Buongiorno, a professor of nuclear science and engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), observed, “China is the de facto world leader in nuclear technology.”
China's Nuclear Energy Administration has asserted that “90 percent of the technology in the new plant was developed within China.” China is also leading development and deployment of a new fleet of cost-competitive small modular reactors. China likely stands 10 to 15 years ahead of the United States in nuclear power.
In December 2011, China's National Energy Administration committed to making nuclear energy the foundation of China's power-generation system over the next “10 to 20 years,” promising to add as much as 300GWe (GWe means one billion watts of electric capacity) of nuclear energy over that period.
