On December 21, 2010 China successfully tested reprocessing of power reactor spent fuel at its pilot reprocessing plant. The plant, which was built in 1997-2004 at Lanzhou nuclear complex, is part of China's effort to acquire technologies of the closed nuclear fuel cycle. China has been discussing acquisition of a commercial reprocessing facility from France and MOX fabrication technology from Belgium. It is also developing fast neutron reactors (with Russia's assistance).
