Early-stage preparations, including design, material purchase and ground work, have been made for the phase I project of Hongyanhe nuclear power plant in Liaoning, the first of its kind in northeast China.
At a cost of 50 billion yuan, the project is waiting for state approval, and construction is expected to start soon, according to the Liaoning Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Co., Ltd.
Located in Wafangdian city, the project features four million-kilowatt-class generator units, which would be put into operation by 2014 with an annual generating capacity about 29 billion kilowatt-hour.
