Lianjiang Nuclear Power Plant
The Lianjiang Nuclear Power Plant (Chinese: 廉江核电站) is a nuclear reactor under construction in Cheban town, Lianjiang, Guangdong province of eastern China. It is planned to house six CAP1000 pressurized water reactors (PWRs), at a projected cost of 130 billion yuan (US$18.1 billion). It will be the first Chinese nuclear plant with cooling towers, to reduce the amount of heat released into the local water.
Construction
The construction of the first two reactors at the Lianjiang site was approved by China's State Council in September 2022. Excavation work began in the same month. Construction of the first unit began on 29 September 2023. It is planned to begin operation in 2028. Construction of the second unit began on 26 April 2024.
