Earlier this month, construction officially began on the Xuwei Nuclear Power Plant in eastern Chinese mainland, the first nuclear project of the 15th Five-Year Plan. 🚀🏗️
This cutting-edge plant will integrate:
- Hualong One pressurized water reactor for reliable power 🌊
- High-temperature gas-cooled reactor for enhanced efficiency 🔥
Once online, Xuwei will generate electricity and industrial steam for local chemical industries, reduce annual coal consumption by 7.26 million tonnes and cut CO₂ emissions by 19.6 million tonnes. 🌱⚡️
This milestone highlights the Chinese mainland’s push toward cleaner energy and a low-carbon future. Stay tuned as this major project takes shape!
