Cold hydrostatic testing has been completed at unit 1 of the Zhangzhou nuclear power plant in China's Fujian province, the first of two Hualong One reactors under construction at the site. The tests mark the first time the reactor systems are operated together with the auxiliary systems.

The supply agreement with China Nuclear International Corporation was finalised earlier this year, Cameco said. The 2023 International Natural Uranium Industry Development Forum also included updates on China's domestic uranium efforts.

The reactor vessel has been installed at unit 7 of the Tianwan nuclear power plant in China's Jiangsu province. Russia is constructing two VVER-1200 reactors as units 7 and 8 of the plant.

The first safety-related concrete has been poured for the nuclear island of unit 1 at the Lianjiang nuclear power plant in China's Guangdong province. It is the first of two CAP1000 units planned as the initial phase of the plant, which will eventually house six such reactors.

The dome of the containment building has been installed at unit 2 of the San'ao nuclear power plant, China General Nuclear has announced. It is the second of six Chinese-designed HPR1000 (Hualong One) pressurised water reactors planned at the site in China's Zhejiang province.

Tests that simulate the temperatures and pressures which the reactor systems will be subjected to during normal operation have begun at unit 4 of the Fangchenggang nuclear power plant in China's Guangxi Autonomous Region. The unit is the second of two demonstration China General Nuclear-designed Hualong One (HPR1000) reactors at the site.

The CA01 'super module' has been installed at unit 4 of the Sanmen nuclear power plant in China's Zhejiang province, marking a construction landmark for the CAP1000 reactor.

The CV1R module - the largest and heaviest module among the six major components of the steel containment vessel - has been hoisted into place at unit 4 of the Sanmen nuclear power plant in China's Zhejiang province.

The first safety-related concrete has been poured for the nuclear island of the unit 6 HPR1000 (Hualong One) at the Lufeng nuclear power plant in China's Guangdong province. It is the second HPR1000 under construction at the site, where four CAP1000s are also planned.

The core module has been installed within the reactor building of the ACP100 small modular reactor demonstration project, China National Nuclear Corporation has announced.

The reactor vessel for unit 7 of Tianwan nuclear power plant in Jiangsu province, China, has arrived at the site after a two month journey by sea from Russia.

China's State Council has approved the construction of six nuclear power units: units 5 and 6 of the Ningde plant in Fujian Province; units 1 and 2 of the Shidaowan plant in Shandong Province; and units 1 and 2 of the Xudabao plant in Liaoning Province.
