Summary
Work has commenced on the nuclear island for Unit 5 at the Haiyang Nuclear Power Plant in Haiyang, Shandong Province, China, signaling the launch of Phase III of the facility. This site, recognized as one of the globe's initial Generation III nuclear power initiatives, is designed to house 6 million-kilowatt-class reactors across three phases. Phase III, consisting of Units 5 and 6, utilizes a domestically created advanced Generation III passive pressurized water reactor. This development represents the first nuclear power project in Shandong to begin during the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) timeframe. The start of Phase III moves the Haiyang Nuclear Power Complex into a phase of simultaneous construction and operation, promoting varied nuclear energy expansion and grouped development. Upon the completion of all six units, the facility will be the largest nuclear power base globally to rely exclusively on passive pressurized water reactor technology. Projections indicate the site will produce 60.9 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, sufficient for the yearly power requirements of approximately 54 million people. This output is expected to reduce standard coal consumption by 18.56 million tons each year and lower carbon dioxide emissions by 48.63 million tons, an impact comparable to planting 134,000 hectares of broadleaf forest. Furthermore, the plant will provide over 150 million square meters of heating capacity, serving 25 county-level cities.
