Nod to build 2nd phase of nuke power station

CHINA’S top economic planner has approved the construction of the second phase of a nuclear power station in the country’s northeast, the first approved since 2011, a company source said yesterday.

The second phase of the Hongyanhe nuclear power station involves 2 million-kilowatt generators. Approved by the National Development and Reform Commission, the second phase still needs a construction license from the National Nuclear Safety Administration.

The construction of the project in Liaoning Province will use the self-developed nuclear power technology of Guangdong Province-based China General Nuclear Power Group, said Yang Xiaofeng, general manager of Liaoning Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Co.

The Hongyanhe nuclear power station is designed to have six generating units of the million-KW class. It began construction in 2007.

The first phase has four generating units. Two generators were put into commercial use in 2013 and 2014. A third unit will be put into use in the first half of this year.
