Ningde Nuclear Power Plant
Encyclopedia
Ningde Nuclear Power Plant is a nuclear power plant
in Fujian
province
, China
.
The site is located in Beiwan village in the town of Qinyu, Fuding
, Ningde
, Fujian.
The plant will ultimately have six 1,080 megawatt (MWe) CPR-1000
pressurized water reactor
s (PWRs); the first four are under construction.
The Ningde Nuclear Power project was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) in 2007.
The project is 51% funded by the Guangdong Nuclear Investment Company Ltd, with Datang International Power Generation Co and the Fujian Coal Group completing the shareholding.
A total investment of 52 billion yuan (US$7.6 billion) should result in the completion of Ningde Phase I.
Including the final two units of Phase II, the total cost will exceed 70 billion yuan.
The four units of Phase I will generate about 30 billion kilowatt hours per year, for which the plant will charge 0.37 yuan/kW·h (11 billion yuan/year).
Ningde marks a step in the development of China's domestic nuclear industry.
Shu Guogang, GM of China Guangdong Nuclear Power Project said, "We built 55 percent of Ling Ao Phase 2, 70 percent of Hongyanhe
, 80 percent of Ningde and 90 percent of Yangjiang Station."
Site preparation at Ningde ran through 2007, with the first concrete for Ningde 1 poured in February 2008.
Ningde 2 followed nine months later. Construction of each unit is expected to take 58 months.
Nuclear power plant
A nuclear power plant is a thermal power station in which the heat source is one or more nuclear reactors. As in a conventional thermal power station the heat is used to generate steam which drives a steam turbine connected to a generator which produces electricity.Nuclear power plants are usually...
