Which nuclear power projects will be lucky enough to be selected for the approved projects in 2019?
There are several forecasts as below:
Option one
SNPTC CAP1400 Demonstration Project Unit 1&2
According to the National 13th Five-Year Plan outlines in the section of “Building a Modern Energy System”: Construction of Shandong Rongcheng CAP1400 Demonstration Project is clearly defined. Therefore, construction of CAP1400 seems to be on the string compared to the others.
Option two
Liaoning Xu Dabao 1&2, Guangdong Lufeng 1&2
Units 1 &2 in Zhangzhou, Fujian, Units 5&6 in Ningde
Both Xu Dapu and Lufeng feature AP1000 technology. With the grid-connecting of first AP1000, the ‘spring’ of Xu Dabao and Lufeng nuclear power projects may not be far away.
Fuqing Units 5&6 and Fangchenggang Units 3&4, which are the domestic demonstration projects of “Hualong No. 1”, are progressing smoothly. Units 1&2 in Zhangzhou and Units 5&6 in Ningde will become the second target sites for the development of “Hualong No. 1” technology in China, so it is also possible to make a breakthrough this year.
Option three
Sanmen Units 3& 4 and Haiyang Units 3& 4
Guangdong Huizhou Taipingling Nuclear Power Project
Sanmen No. 3 and No. 4 units and Haiyang No. 3 and No. 4 units are the second phase expansion projects. At present, in view of the smooth progress of the Sanmen Phase I project, it is believed that there will not be too many obstacles for them. It should only be a matter of time.
Currently, the preparatory work for Huizhou Taipingling nuclear power project is progressing steadily as planned. It is also promising to be approved soon.
