Which nuclear power plant currently has the largest installed capacity in China?

Shenzhen Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant is currently the largest nuclear power plant in China.

China's largest nuclear power plant is the Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant.

Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant is the first 300,000 kW pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear power plant designed, constructed, operated and managed by China, located in Haiyan County, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province. It is 100% owned by China National Nuclear Corporation, and Qinshan Nuclear Power Company is responsible for operation and management.

Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant adopts the world's most mature pressurized water reactor, and the nuclear island adopts three barriers: fuel cladding, pressure shell and containment, which can withstand internal pressure, high temperature and various natural disasters caused by extreme accidents.

The first phase of the project started in 1985 and was completed and put into operation in 1991. The annual power generation capacity is 1.7 billion kWh.

The second phase of the project will expand two 600,000 kW generating units on the original site, which started in 1996.

The third phase of the project was completed in 2003 by cooperating with China and Canada** to build two 700,000 kW generating units using heavy water reactor technology provided by Canada.

At 17:00 on January 12, 2015, Unit 2 of Fangjiashan Nuclear Power Project of Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant Expansion Project was successfully connected to the grid for power generation.

So far, all the existing 9 units of Qinshan Nuclear Power Base have been put into operation for power generation, with a capacity of 10,000 kilowatts and an annual power generation capacity of about 50 billion kilowatt hours, making it the nuclear power base with the largest number of nuclear power units, the most abundant reactor types and the largest installed capacity in China.

It is the Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Plant in Liaoning.

As of March 4, 2022, China has a total of 22 nuclear power plants.

They are: Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant, Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Plant, Qinshan No. 2 Nuclear Power Plant, Qinshan No. 3 Nuclear Power Plant, Haiyang Nuclear Power Plant, Ningde Nuclear Power Plant, Fuqing Nuclear Power Plant, Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, Yangjiang Nuclear Power Plant, Fangjiashan Nuclear Power Plant, Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant, Taishan Nuclear Power Plant, Sanmen Nuclear Power Plant, Changjiang Nuclear Power Plant, Lingao Nuclear Power Plant, Fangchenggang Nuclear Power Plant, Jinshan Nuclear Power Plant, Guosheng Nuclear Power Plant, Ma'anshan Nuclear Power Plant, etc.

Nuclear power plants:

A nuclear power plant is a facility that converts nuclear energy into electricity through appropriate installations. Nuclear power plants use nuclear reactors to replace the boilers of thermal power stations, and nuclear fuel is used in special forms of combustion in nuclear reactors to generate heat, so that nuclear energy is converted into heat energy to heat water and produce steam.

The system and equipment of a nuclear power plant usually consists of two parts: the nuclear system and equipment, also known as the nuclear island; Conventional systems and equipment, also known as conventional islands. In today's world, only the energy produced by the chain reaction of fission can be used to generate electricity.

A nuclear power plant is a power facility that uses the thermal energy generated by one or more power reactors to generate electricity, or to generate electricity and heat at the same time. The reactor is the key equipment of the nuclear power plant, and the chain fission reaction takes place in it. Systems and facilities that convert nuclear energy released by the fission of atomic nuclei into heat and then into electrical energy are commonly referred to as nuclear power plants.

At present, China has a total of 18 nuclear power plants under construction, with a total of 62 nuclear power units, of which 47 units have been put into operation.

A nuclear power plant is a power plant that uses the energy released by a nuclear fission reaction to produce electricity. Nuclear power plants in commercial operation today use nuclear fission reactions to generate electricity. Nuclear power plants are generally divided into two parts:

Nuclear islands (including reactor units and primary circuit systems) that produce steam by nuclear fission and conventional islands (including steam turbine generator systems) that use steam to generate electricity are generally radioactive heavy metals: uranium and plutonium.

How many nuclear power plants are there in China, and what are the differences? Today is a long time to see.

As of June 2021, China has four nuclear power plants with 11 units in operation.

1. Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant.

2. Guangdong Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant.

3. Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant.

4. Lingao Nuclear Power Station.

The reactors commonly used in nuclear power plants in the world include light water reactors, heavy water reactors, improved gas-cooled reactors and fast reactors, but the most widely used are light water reactors. According to the process of generating steam, LWRs can be divided into two types: boiling water reactor nuclear power plants and pressurized water reactor nuclear power plants. Pressurized water reactor uses ordinary water as coolant and moderator, and it is the most mature and successful power reactor type developed on the basis of military reactors.

Pressurized water reactor nuclear power plants account for more than 60% of the world's total nuclear power capacity.

Advantages of nuclear power plants:

Compared with traditional thermal power plants, nuclear power plants have very obvious advantages:

1) Nuclear power generation does not emit huge amounts of pollutants into the atmosphere like fossil fuel power generation, so nuclear power generation does not cause air pollution;

2) Nuclear power generation has no carbon emissions and will not aggravate the global warming effect;

3) the uranium fuel used in nuclear power generation has no other use for the time being except for power generation;

4) The energy density of nuclear fuel is millions of times higher than that of fossil fuels, so the fuel used in nuclear power plants is small in size, and it is very convenient to transport and store, a 10 million kilowatt nuclear power plant only needs 30 tons of uranium fuel a year, and a plane can complete the transportation;

5) The cost of nuclear power generation accounts for a relatively low proportion of fuel costs, and the cost of nuclear power generation is not easily affected by the international economic situation, so the cost of power generation is relatively stable.

At present, there are about 22 nuclear power plant sites (under construction + in operation) in China, namely:

Hongyanhe, Haiyang, Shidaowan, Tianwan, Qinshan, Fangjiashan, Sanmen, Ningde, Fuqing, Zhangzhou, San'ao (Wenzhou), Taipingling (Huizhou), Daya Bay, Ling'ao, Taishan, Yangjiang, Lufeng, Fangchenggang, Bailong (Guangxi), Lianjiang (Zhanjiang), Changjiang.

The number of units varies from one site to another, with 2-4 units under construction or in operation at each site, and a few units under construction (1 unit, one nuclear island).

In addition, the above nuclear power plant sites are all in coastal areas, and there are also nuclear power plant sites in inland areas, but they are not currently under construction.
