The San'ao Nuclear Power Plant (Chinese: 三奥核电站) is a nuclear reactor under construction in the Zhejiang province of eastern China. It is planned to house 6 reactors, at least two of which will be pressurised water reactors.[2]

Construction

Construction of the plant was authorized in May 2015 by the Chinese government.[3] The plant is being constructed by the Cangnan Nuclear Power Company, under the aegis of the state-owned China General Nuclear Power Group.[4] Construction of the first unit began on 31 December 2020[5] and construction of the second unit on 30 December 2021.[4] The first unit is expected to begin operation in 2026, and the second unit in 2027.[3]

The plant is expected to produce 52.5 terawatt-hours of energy per year and will supply the larger Yangtze River Delta region.[4]
