Lufeng Nuclear Power Plant
The Lufeng Nuclear Power Plant (Chinese: 陆丰核电站) is a nuclear reactor under construction in the Guangdong province of eastern China. It is planned to house 6 pressurized water reactors (PWRs).

CGN Lufeng Nuclear Power Corporation has been working on developing a nuclear plant in Lufeng, Shanwei since 2013. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) approved the plant in 2014, starting with two AP1000 reactors. The National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA) gave its approval in 2015. Site work began but as of 2023, construction of these units has not. In April 2022, the government approved the construction of two Hualong One reactors, which were designated Units 5 and 6.

Construction

Construction of the first unit began on 8 September 2022 and construction of the second unit on 26 August 2023. The first unit is expected to begin operation in 2028, and the second unit in 2029.
