"We produce 100,000 such spheres in our lab each year. The process is perfectly clean and safe. We do real-time monitoring of the radiation level. The reading at this moment is 0.39 micro-sieverts per hour, which is at roughly the same level as in a normal environment."

　　Even with such safety precautions, operating a nuclear power plant is no easy task. A slight mishandling could spell a disaster, and that's why staff training is crucial. Guo Shiwei has been training at the institute for four years.

　　"I am training to become a shift supervisor, which is basically a commander in the master-control room. I am required to fully understand how this system works, and also to lead a team who can work efficiently to ensure the reactor runs safely."

　　The nuclear power station under construction in Weihai has been developed and designed solely by Chinese researchers. It has already attracted the attention of foreign clients. Zhang Tingke is vice CEO of China Huaneng, a shareholder of the Weihai project. He describes the commercial prospects for the technology.

　　"The project will most likely take 6 billion yuan to complete with research costs included. If everything works out, the commercial outlook is promising. Many countries in Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia have expressed an interest in this product."

　　Zhang says the power plant blueprint covers different models and sizes to fit different environments.
