The Fuqing Nuclear Power Plant (simplified Chinese: 福清核电站; traditional Chinese: 福清核電站; pinyin: Fúqīng Hédiànzhàn) is a nuclear power plant in Fuqing, Fujian Province, PRC. The plant is located on the coast of Xinghua Bay, near Qianxue Village, Sanshan Town.[1] The station will have six 1,000 megawatt (MW) CPR-1000 pressurized water reactors (PWRs).[2] The CPR-1000 is an advanced PWR design developed by China from the Areva-designed PWRs at the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant.[3]
The plant will be jointly constructed and operated by China National Nuclear Corporation (51%), China Huadian Corp. (39%) and the Fujian Investment & Development Co Ltd. (10%). The cost of the plant will be about 100 billion yuan (US$14.7 billion).[3]
Construction of the first unit began on 21 November 2008, and is expected to take 5 years.[2] Vice Premier Li Keqiang attended the inauguration ceremony.[3] First concrete for Unit 2 was poured on 17 June 2009 — three months ahead of schedule.[4] First concrete for Unit 3 was poured on 31 December 2010. Construction of Unit 4 was to begin in 2011, but was delayed until November 2012 by China's nuclear safety review after the Japanese nuclear accident.
In November 2014 it was announced that units 5 and 6 would be of the Hualong One (updated CPR-1000) design, with unit 5 scheduled to be in operation about 2019.[5] The first concrete was poured for Fuqing 5 on 7 May 2015.[6]
