First concrete has been poured for unit 4 of China’s Haiyang NPP in Shandong province, according to the Shanghai Nuclear Engineering Research and Design Institute (SNERDI). This signalled the start of construction of unit 4 which is part of Phase-II of the NPP (units 3&4). First concrete for unit 3 was poured in July 2022. Haiyang 3&4 are both CAP1000 reactors. The pouring of concrete for unit 4 was a continuous operation lasting just over 51 hours and required a total of 5512 cubic metres of concrete, according to China Nuclear Industry 24 Construction Company.

Drilling of the foundation pit has begun for unit 2 of China’s Lianjiang NPP in Guangdong, marking the first phase of the Lianjiang Nuclear Power Project, which is in the pre-construction phase. Foundation work at unit 1 began in September 2022 after the State Council approved Phase I (units 1&2). Phase I will comprise two 1,250 MWe CAP-1000 units with an investment of CNY38.9bn ($5.6bn). Six units are planned for the site. At the end of 2022, China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) subsidiary China Nuclear Construction signed two nuclear power engineering contracts for the project. Construction is expected to take 56 months for each unit.

China General Nuclear (CGN) said the 1,000 MW pressurised water reactor unit – the first of two demonstration HPR1000, or Hualong One, reactors at the site – completed a 168-hour trial test run at 06.55 on 25 March, “officially meeting the conditions for commercial operation”.
The Hualong One is an indigenous PWR. It incorporates elements of China National Nuclear Corporation’s ACP1000 and CGN’s ACPR1000+ reactor designs.
Fangchenggang-3 achieved first criticality on 27 December and was connected to the grid for the first time on 10 January. Construction of the plant, which is owned and operated by Guangxi Fangchenggang Nuclear Power Company, a joint venture of CGN and Guangxi Investment Group, began in 2015.
A total of six reactors are planned to operate at the Fangchenggang site, close to the border with Vietnam. Units 1 and 2, which began commercial operation in 2016, are both CPR-1000s. Units 3 to 6 will all be Hualong One reactors.
