China generates power at the Ningde 1 reactor and starts work on the 30th under construction nuclear reactor
From
The new build is at the Tianwan site in Jiangsu province. An AES-91 VVER-1000 unit designed by Gidropress and supplied by Russian state firm Rosatom. Tianwan 3 is slated to begin power generation in 2018, with unit 4 expected to follow one year later, operated by China National Nuclear Corporation. Tianwan 3 is now the 30th large power reactor under construction in China – and the fourth to be approved and begin work since the Fukushima accident of March 2011.
