Second Heavy-water
Reactor at Qinshan Nuclear Plant Goes on Stream
The second heavy-water
reactor generating unit at the Qinshan nuclear power
plant in east China's
Zhejiang province went into operation on Thursday
morning and is expected
to begin commercial power generation in July.
The second
heavy-water reactor generating unit at the Qinshan nuclear power
plant in
east China's Zhejiang province went into operation on Thursday
morning and
is expected to begin commercial power generation in July.
The unit was
successfully tested on Monday morning, and all technical
features met
design requirements.
Sources from the Qinshan Third-Phase Nuclear
Power Plant Co. Ltd. said that
the construction and management of the
complex had been successful.
The system's design, manufacture,
installation and debugging were complete,
which had laid a solid basis for
power generation on Thursday.
The third phase of the Qinshan Nuclear
Power Plant located in Haiyan county,
the first commercial heavy-water
nuclear reactor project with two steam
turbines, is also the largest
project financed jointly by China and Canada.
The generating units
have a capacity of 728,000 kw each, with the reactors
being made in China
with technology imported from Canada. The reactors, with
a lifespan of 40
years, are expected to produce about 10 billion kwh of
electricity each
year after both generating units are operational.
The first such
generating unit has been safely operating at full capacity
since late
December of 2002 when it began commercial power generation.
