Changjiang Nuclear Power Plant is a nuclear power plant under-construction in Tangxing Village of Haiwei Township, Changjiang Li Autonomous County in the province of Hainan.[1] It will be the first power plant of its kind in the province.
History
Construction of the first phase of the plant consisting of two reactors was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission in July 2008. Site works began in December 2008 and the first concrete was poured at the first unit on 25 April 2010. The plant is to be built by China National Nuclear Corporation and China Huaneng Group.[2][3] A 600 MW pumped-storage hydroelectric plant balances the nuclear plant to comply with demand variations.[4]
Technical features
The plant will be built in two phases, both consisting of two CNP-600 pressurized water reactors, with a capacity of 650 megawatts each. The first unit was connected to the grid 7. November 2015 and second unit is scheduled by 2016. More than 70% of the equipment will be indigenous made.[2]
