Tests that simulate the temperatures and pressures which the reactor systems will be subjected to during normal operation have been completed at unit 1 of the Zhangzhou nuclear power plant in China's Fujian province. The unit is the first of three Hualong One (HPR1000) reactors under construction at the site.
The first safety-related concrete has been poured for the nuclear island of unit 3 at the Zhangzhou nuclear power plant in Fujian province, China National Nuclear Corporation announced. It is the first of two Hualong One units planned as the second phase of the plant, which will eventually house six such reactors.
Cold hydrostatic testing has been completed at unit 1 of the Zhangzhou nuclear power plant in China's Fujian province, the first of two Hualong One reactors under construction at the site. The tests mark the first time the reactor systems are operated together with the auxiliary systems.
Chinese engineers are now working to build Hualong One reactors in a faster and better way in Zhangzhou in southeast China's Fujian Province, so as to further improve its cost efficiency, quality and overall competitiveness.
The outer steel dome has been installed at unit 1 of the Zhangzhou nuclear power plant in China's Fujian province, China Nuclear Engineering and Construction Corporation announced. Zhangzhou 1 is the first of two Hualong One units being built at the site, scheduled to enter commercial operation in 2024 and 2025, respectively.
