英文摘要	Nuclear power is a clean, low carbon technology that will help China achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. However, the radiological impacts are also the focus of public concern. This study used the life cycle assessment (LCA) method to calculate the carbon dioxide emissions per unit electricity generated by nuclear power and other power generation technologies. This study also estimated the air pollutants and radiological impacts based on a literature review with a comprehensive assessment of these environmental impacts. The results show that nuclear power and renewable energy generation can reduce CO2 emissions per unit of electricity by more than 90% and greatly reduce air pollution. In addition, nuclear power has similar or lower radioactive impact on the public than coal power. Therefore, the government should strengthen public understanding and acceptance of nuclear power, formulate a long-term nuclear energy development strategy, and promote the clean, low-carbon transformation of the electric power system. © 2021, Tsinghua University Press.
