In the East of China, in the province of Shandong, commercial operation of the world's first nuclear power plant (NPP) with a high -generation with a high -temperature reactor with HTGR cooling.
The Swidovan NPP is located on the Yellow Sea coast and is a completely national Chinese project, with all intellectual property rights in China. The main contractors of the project are China Huaneng Group, one of the leading state electricity producers in China, the leading University of the country - the University of Vicua, and the Chinese National Nuclear Corporation.
The capacity of the NPP is currently 200 MW, and the level of localization of equipment production reaches 93.4%. Before commissioning, the NPP has successfully tested a stable continuous operation during the week (168 hours).
More than 500 companies participated in the implementation of the project, which began in December 2012, and for nine years, in December 2021, it was for the first time generating electricity.
Swidovan NPPs have high security and have several levels of fuses to avoid melting or leakage of radioactive materials. The HTGR reactor is an advanced type of reactor that guarantees increased reliability and strength with the use of fourth -generation nuclear energy technologies, providing maximum safety, even in case of complete loss of cooling capacity without the need to intervene specialists.
