🚀 Big news from the Chinese mainland! Construction has kicked off on a brand-new nuclear reactor in the city of Lufeng, Guangdong Province. 🏗️
The project, powered by the advanced CAP1000 reactor design, is a leap forward in safety and efficiency, using cutting-edge modular construction, digital building technologies, and automated welding. 🔧💡
This initiative is part of a larger plan to build six reactors in total. The No. 5 and No. 6 reactors have already started in 2022 and 2023, utilizing the innovative Hualong One technology developed domestically. 🇨🇳
