The first nuclear power unit using the Hualong One technology, China's domestically developed third-generation reactor design, was connected to the grid on November 27.
The successful connection to the grid will improve the competitiveness of China's nuclear power industry, optimize the power structure and promote green and low-carbon development. The unit in Fuqing in the southeastern province of Fujian will undergo a series of tests and trial runs before it starts commercial operation.
The China National Nuclear Corp. and China General Nuclear Power Group jointly designed the Hualong One reactor, which passed inspection by a national panel in 2014.
