Jan 2, 2025 - Third-generation reactor operational at Zhangzhou nuclear plant
The first unit of the Zhangzhou Nuclear Power Plant entered commercial operation on January 1 after successfully completing a full power demonstration run lasting 168 hours. This marked a major step in the roll-out of Hualong One, a domestically developed third-generation reactor, as China seeks to improve its energy mix and meet its dual carbon targets. The project, the world`s largest Hualong One nuclear power base, is designed to have six million-kilowatt-level Hualong One nuclear power units. This is equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 8.16 million tonnes per year—an environmental impact comparable to planting over 70 million trees annually.
