Recently, the first unit of the Zhangzhou Nuclear Power Plant in southeast China's Fujian Province officially entered commercial operation after successfully completing a full power demonstration run lasting 168 hours. This marked significant progress in the batch construction process of Hualong One, a domestically developed third-generation reactor.

CEEC's subsidiary CPECC East China Electric Power Design Institute Co., Ltd. (ECEPDI) was responsible for the design of the plant's conventional island.

The Zhangzhou nuclear power base is where batch construction of Hualong One reactors started and the world's largest Hualong One nuclear power base.

Located at Cizaiwei, Lieyu Town, Yunxiao County, Fujian Province, the project plans to build six million-kilowatt Hualong One nuclear power units, with four already under construction.

ECEPDI, as the general institute for the project's initial feasibility and feasibility study phases, has participated in the construction of the Zhangzhou nuclear power base. It is responsible for the conventional island design, BOP (Balance of Plant) design, and technical services for the first four units.

The Huanglong One reactor meets the highest global safety standards and represents a major milestone in China's innovative nuclear power development. It plays a crucial role in the country's historic transformation from a major nuclear power country to a powerhouse. Currently, it has become the third-generation nuclear power technology with the largest number of units in operation and under construction globally, indicating that China's nuclear power technology and comprehensive strength have entered the world's top tier.

The project is expected to generate more than 10 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity per year. This is equivalent to reducing standard coal consumption by 3.12 million tonnes and carbon dioxide emissions by 8.16 million tonnes per year, which is equivalent to planting over 70 million trees. The project is of great significance to optimize the country's energy structure, meet the growing energy demands for economic and social development, and promote high-quality economic development.
