Globally, the Chinese mainland’s Hualong One has become the most deployed third-generation nuclear reactor design, with 41 units operating or under construction across the world. 🌍⚡️
Each Hualong One unit delivers over 10 billion kWh of carbon-free electricity annually—enough to light up 1 million people in a moderately developed country. That’s 8.16 million tonnes of CO2 avoided each year! 🌱💡
So far, seven units are already feeding clean power to grids worldwide, showcasing top-notch performance and reliability. Hualong One meets or exceeds international safety standards, holds European Utility Requirements certification, and has passed the UK Generic Design Assessment. Safety first, always! ✅🔒
More than 20 countries and regions, from Pakistan to Argentina, have tapped into Hualong One’s cooperation plan. Pakistan’s Karachi-2 and Karachi-3—its first overseas demo—have generated a whopping 48 billion kWh, cut coal use by nearly 15 million tonnes, and slashed 39.16 million tonnes of CO2. Talk about a power move! 🚀🇵🇰
For the Chinese mainland, Hualong One is a cornerstone of its clean energy strategy and a bold step toward a low-carbon future. As more units come online, the world gets closer to hitting global decarbonization goals. Follow the journey! 🌐✨
