Despite stern talk and solemn pledges from NATO, a British-based think tank says some alliance member nations are cutting their spending on defense.

In a report released Thursday nike air max 95 dynamic flywire homme , the European Leadership Network said Britain, Bulgaria, Canada, Germany, Hungary and Italy are all on track to reduce military expenditures in 2015.

In France nike air max 95 jacquard homme , spending is forecast to remain flat.

"Despite Russian aggression in Ukraine and much rhetoric from NATO leaders that this has been a game-changer in European security, all the evidence suggests there is a continuation of business as usual," said Ian Kearns, director of the European Leadership Network and the report's co-author.

In September, NATO leaders vowed to "reverse the trend of declining defense budgets."

On Feb. 6 nike air vapormax grise homme , NATO's secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg said total spending on defense by alliance members declined by 3 percent last year.

"The fact is that our security challenges are increasing. But our defense spending is decreasing," Stoltenberg said.

"This is simply not sustainable," he said. "We cannot do more with less forever."

The European Leadership Network's report examined defense spending in 14 of the 28 NATO countries where budgeting decisions for 2015 have been formally announced or indicated in advance through the public release of information. It excludes the United States, which the think tank said accounts for over 75 percent of alliance defense spending on its own.

The report found that six member nations_Latvia, Lithuania nike air vapormax blanche homme , the Netherlands, Norway, Poland and Romania_will hike spending in 2015, but not reach the ultimate target of 2 percent of Gross Domestic Product agreed to at the NATO summit.

This year, the report said nike air vapormax noir homme , Britain is on course to spend the lowest percentage of its national wealth on defense in 25 years. In Germany, it said, defense spending is declining both in terms of spending and as a portion of the country's overall economic output.

GUANGZHOU, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) -- A cutting-edge domestic steam generator Tuesday departed for the first demonstration nuclear power project using Hualong One technology, a domestically developed third-generation reactor design.

The Hualong One ZH-65 steam generator has a life span of 60 years with lower outlet humidity and a higher power-weight ratio than previous technology.

"The generator has demonstrated China's latest nuclear power equipment manufacturing technology nike air vapormax rabais ," said Zeng Xianmao, chairman and general manager with the Dongfang Electric (Guangzhou) Heavy Machinery, producer of the generator.

The generator was developed by a team led by Zhang Fuyuan, chief designer at the Nuclear Power Institute of China.

It was designed for the No. 5 unit of Fuqing Nuclear Plant in Fujian Province, a project of the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC).

The government has approved the Fuqing project to build six nuclear power units. The No. 5 and 6 units will be a pilot project also featuring Hualong One.

In May nike air max 2017 bleu homme , a hemispherical dome, weighing 340 tonnes and measuring 46.8 meters in diameter, was installed by crane on the No. 5 unit, marking the start of the assembly stage.

The installation of the dome ranked first in projects on progress in nuclear science and technology, according to the annual conference of the Chinese Nuclear Society on Monday.

Hualong One was jointly designed by China's two nuclear power giants nike air max 2017 rouge homme , China General Nuclear Power Group and CNNC, and passed inspection by a national panel in August 2014.

China has 37 operational nuclear reactors and is building a further 19.

China is aiming to have 88 million kw of nuclear power capacity in operation or under construction by 2020. The current level is just under 57 million kw.

On Sept. 1, China's legislature passed a nuclear safety law, reflecting the country's careful safety outlook and commitment to its international obligations.

There are now four projects using Hualong One design under construction, including two reactors in Karachi nike air max 2017 noir homme , Pakistan. A contract was also signed in May for the construction of the Hualong One design in Argentina.

The country has promoted the Hualong One at home and abroad.
