Shandong province is set to bring power to distant man-made islands in the South China Sea by developing up to 33,000 floating nuclear reactors. the China National Nuclear Corp wants to build the plants as a cheaper alternative to transmitting energy from the mainland. Later this year, China will begin to construct floating nuclear power plants that could be used to bring power to distant, artificial islands in the South China Sea. A prototype reactor is already being tested off China and the first fully functional reactor is expected to be ready to put to sea by 2021 .
