The Xudabao nuclear power plant in Liaoning Province, China, has successfully conducted hot functional tests for Unit 3, a crucial step in the commissioning process. These tests simulate normal operational conditions, verifying the reliability of reactor systems before nuclear fuel loading. The completion of this phase indicates that Unit 3 is nearing readiness for startup activities. Additionally, Unit 2 achieved a significant milestone with the installation of its reactor pressure vessel, transitioning the project from civil construction to large-scale equipment installation. The Xudabao project combines domestically developed and Russian VVER-1200 reactor technologies, aiming to significantly contribute to China's electricity supply. Once all units are operational, the plant is projected to generate tens of billions of kilowatt-hours annually, supporting China's energy security and environmental objectives. The China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) emphasized that these developments lay a solid foundation for future power generation and grid connection.
