China continues to progress with its construction of new nuclear power reactors. Within the space of a couple of weeks, the milestone of installing the dome of the reactor containment building has been achieved at two more units\u00a0\u2014 Fuqing 3\u00a0and Changjiang 2.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The reactor dome of unit 3\u00a0at the Fuqing nuclear power plant in Fujian Province was successfully lowered into place on top of the containment building at 5.48am on 9\u00a0October. Plant constructor China Nuclear Engineering and Construction Corporation (CNECC) said that the operation to install the reactor dome\u00a0\u2014 with a diameter of 37\u00a0metres, a height of 11\u00a0metres and weighing 160\u00a0tonnes\u00a0\u2014 took just 30\u00a0minutes.<\/p>\n

Fuqing is to be a six-reactor plant, based on Chinese-designed CPR-1000\u00a0pressurized water reactors. The overall 6000\u00a0MWe project is expected to cost 100\u00a0billion yuan ($15.9\u00a0billion). Construction of Fuqing units 1\u00a0and 2\u00a0started in November 2008\u00a0and June 2009, respectively. Those units are scheduled to begin operating in October 2013\u00a0and August 2014.<\/p>\n

Ground was broken for Fuqing unit 3\u00a0and 4\u00a0in June 2009\u00a0and China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) held an official ceremony to mark the start of work on unit 3\u00a0in December 2010. The reactor should begin operation in mid-2015.<\/p>\n

Changjiang 2\u00a0capped<\/h4>\n

Two weeks earlier, the reactor dome was also installed at unit 2\u00a0of the Changjiang plant in China\u2019s southern island province of Hainan.<\/p>\n

The 173-tonne dome was successfully installed on the unit\u2019s reactor building at 9.26am on 25\u00a0September, CNECC reported. The operation\u00a0\u2014 using crawler cranes with a lifting capacity of some 900\u00a0tonnes\u00a0\u2014 lasted 48\u00a0minutes.<\/p>\n

The Changjiang plant, near Hoi Mei Tong village, is being built as a joint venture between CNNC and China Huaneng Group, with shares split 51% and 49%, respectively. The plant will eventually comprise four 650\u00a0MWe CNP-600\u00a0pressurized water reactors and will be built in two phases.<\/p>\n

Initial approval for the construction was granted by China\u2019s National Developmental and Reform Commission in July 2008. Site works began in December 2008. Construction of Unit 1\u00a0began on 25\u00a0April 2010, while first concrete for unit 2\u00a0was poured on 21\u00a0November 2010. The dome of the reactor building of Changjiang 1\u00a0was installed on 28\u00a0December 2011, 28\u00a0days ahead of schedule. Changjiang 1\u00a0is scheduled to begin operating by the end of 2014, with unit 2\u00a0set to start up the following year.<\/p>\n

The installation of the reactor building dome marks the end of the major civil engineering works on the reactor buildings. Changjiang 2\u00a0and Fuqing 3\u00a0are the fifth and sixth Chinese units, respectively, to have had their reactor domes installed since the start of 2012. The others include Taishan 2, Yangjiang 3, Ningde 4\u00a0and Fangchenggang 1.<\/p>\n

Construction projects already underway should see China bring online some 27\u00a0new reactors by the end of 2015\u00a0\u2014 in addition to the 15\u00a0units currently in operation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
