Zhangzhou Nuclear Power Plant
The Zhangzhou Nuclear Power Plant (Chinese: 漳州核电厂) is a nuclear power station under construction in Lieyu Town, Yunxiao County, Zhangzhou on the coast of Fujian Province, in southeast China. The plant is owned by CNNC Guodian Zhangzhou Energy Co. Ltd., established in November 2011, which is owned by China National Nuclear Corporation (51%) and China Guodian Corporation (49%). CNNC originally planned to have AP1000 light water reactors, but later changed plans to the Hualong One design.[1]
