BEIJING (Reuters) - State-owned China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN) will put another five reactors into operation this year, increasing its total electricity capacity by over two-thirds from a year ago to 14 gigawatts, the company said on Wednesday.

CGN is one of two state-owned nuclear power conglomerates that are pressing ahead with an ambitious reactor-building programme that is part of China's efforts to diversify energy sources and ease its dependence on coal.
