Another new Chinese reactor starts supplying power
Unit 4 of the Hongyanhe nuclear power station in Liaoning province has been connected to the grid. The 1060 MWe net CPR-1000 reactor started construction in 2009, and delivers more power than similar southern units due to the very cold seawater in the condenser circuit. Two further reactors are under construction at the site. Liaoning Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Co Ltd is a joint venture of China General Nuclear Power and the State Power Investment Corporation (45% each), with a provincial energy company. There are now 32 reactors supplying power in China and 22 under construction.
