State Nuclear Power Technology Corp (SNPTC), which is responsible for the development of third-generation nuclear power technology in China, said yesterday it had completed the initial design for the country's first three inland nuclear power stations.
The three projects are at Taohuajiang in Hunan province, Xianning in Hubei province, and Pengze in Jiangxi province. SNPTC said it has finished its preliminary safety analysis report on the Taohuajiang plant.
The three projects will use AP1000, a third-generation technology developed by US-based Westinghouse. Future inland nuclear projects in the country would also use the technology, according to SNPTC.
