China to start building 5 new nuclear power plants
China will start constructing five nuclear power plants (NPPs) this year, part of an effort to dramatically expand its nuclear power capacity by 2020, officials said on Monday.
The five NPPs will be located in Sanmen in Zhejiang Province, Haiyang and Rongcheng in Shandong Province, Taishan in Guangdong Province, and Changjiang in Hainan Province, Sun Qin, Vice Minister of the National Energy Administration, said, without revealing the total costs. "The first unit of Sanmen NPP started construction on Sunday and signaled China's nuclear power industry has sped up," Sun said. The Sanmen and Haiyang NPPs use Generation III AP-1000 technologies imported from the American firm Westinghouse, which is safer than the previous generation reactors, Sun said. The five plants will add to the 11 nuclear power units in operation, producing 2 percent of China's electricity and the 24 units under construction.
