State Nuclear Power Technology Corp – SNPTC, which is responsible for the development of third-generation nuclear power technology in China, has completed its initial design for the country’s first three inland nuclear power stations.
The projects are based on the three power plants being located at Taohuajiang in Hunan province, Xianning in Hubei province, and Pengze in Jiangxi province. SNPTC also confirmed that it has finished its preliminary safety analysis report on the Taohuajiang plant.
Each of the projects will use AP1000 – a third-generation technology developed by US-based Westinghouse Electric Company, whose AP1000 reactor design is the first Generation III+ reactor to receive final design approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission – NRC. Future inland nuclear projects in the country would also use this technology said SNPTC.
Preparations for China’s first batch of inland nuclear power projects are going well, furthermore SNPTC’s Chairman Wang Binghua expects the projects will meet all requirements for starting construction later this year.
