据报道，计划建造一艘航母与美国海军抗衡
- One expert claimed in state media that the project has achieved a breakthrough
专家在官方媒体称此项目已取得重大突破
- Nuclear-powered reactors can run for up to 50 years without needing refuelling

- The carrier is a part of Chinese navy's plan to go further and stay longer overseas
海军可借该航母在海上行驶更远更久
Beiing is planning to build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to 'safeguard national interests', according to Chinese state media.
官方媒体称：计划建造核动力航母保卫国家利益。
One Chinese aircraft carrier expert was quoted saying that the country has achieved a breakthrough in nuclear-powered carriers.
一位航母专家称，在核动力航母方面已取得重大技术突破。
The same expert said the development of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is 'very necessary' and it could help China rival the U.S. navy in technology.
该专家称，核动力航母的研发具有举足轻重的意义，能帮助在技术上与美国海军抗衡。
The U.S. has 10 active aircraft carriers - the largest fleet in the world - while its main military rivals, Russia and China, only has one active carrier each, according to a report by Reuters last year.
美国拥有10艘在役航母，是全球最大的航母舰队。据路透社去年报道，美国军事上的主要对手俄罗斯和，均只拥有一艘在役航母。
According to the World Nuclear Association, nuclear-powered reactors could run for up to 50 years without needing refuelling, which means nuclear-powered ships or submarines could remain at sea for long periods of time.
据世界核能协会称，核动力反应堆能运行最多50年，无需补料，这将意味着核动力船只及潜艇可以长时间在海上航行。
