First concrete has been poured for the nuclear island of unit 3 at the Zhangzhou NPP in Fujian province. China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) said it is the first of two Chinese-designed Hualong One units planned as the second phase of the plant. Two Hualong One reactors are already under construction at the site (1&2) as phase one. China's Ministry of Ecology & Environment issued construction licences for Zhangzhou 1&2 in 2019 to CNNC-Guodian Zhangzhou Energy Company, the owner of the Zhangzhou NPP, which was established in 2011. It is owned by CNNC (51%) and China Guodian Corporation (49%). The licences are valid for 10 years. Units 1&2 are scheduled to begin commercial operation in 2024 and 2025.

The polar crane has been installed and tested in the roof of the containment building at unit 2 of China’s San'ao NPP under construction in Zhejiang province. The crane is located at a height of more than 38 metres under the containment dome on a trolley that moves 360° on a circular rail over the reactor shaft. This makes possible transport operations anywhere in the central hall of the reactor building. It has a range of uses including in the installation of large equipment, such as the reactor vessel and steam generators. It is also used during maintenance and refuelling operations.
