China’s First Domestically-Designed Nuclear Power Plant Operational Xinhua News Agency – February 6, 2002 HANGZHOU, February 6, 2002 (Xinhua via COMTEX) — The first generating unit of the second-phase project of Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant in Haiyan County, in east China’s Zhejiang province, was completed and brought into the local power grid Wednesday. This is China’s first domestically-designed and constructed nuclear power plant and it marks a milestone in the development of the country’s nuclear power technology, experts said. The total investment of the second-phase project amounts to 14. 8 billion yuan (1.79 billion U.S. dollars) and from June 2002 it aims to send four billion kwh of power annually to the east China power grid. The second-phase project of Qinshan nuclear power plant started operation in 1996. The first-phase project of the Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant is in sound condition after 10 years of safe operation. Over the past decade, the plant has produced nearly 17 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity. Copyright 2002 XINHUA NEWS AGENCY.
