Hualong One (HPR1000) Demonstration Project
Hualong One (HPR1000) is a 1,000 MWe-class advanced pressurized water reactor jointly developed by China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) and China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN). It is mainly characterized by a 177-fuel-assembly core, resistance to aircraft impact, multiple redundant safety systems and combination of active and passive safety measures. Its safety performance and technical indicators have met the international standards on Gen III nuclear power technology. As part of the demonstration project, the construction of units 5 and 6 at Fuqing in Fujian Province started on May 7, 2015; and the construction of units 3 and 4 at Fangchenggang (Phase II) in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region kicked off on December 25, 2015. On January 30, 2021, Fuqing Unit 5, the first of its kind in the world, was put into commercial operation. With a construction period of 68.8 months, it recorded the shortest construction time for the first reactor of Gen III nuclear power plants in the world.
华龙一号示范工程
华龙一号是中国两大核电企业中国核工业集团公司和中国广核集团公司自主研发的百万千瓦级先进压水堆核电技术。华龙一号以 177组燃料组件堆芯、抗大飞机撞击、多重冗余的安全系统、能动与非能动相结合的安全措施为主要技术特征，安全性能和技术指标满足国际三代核电技术标准。作为华龙一号示范工程， 2015年 5月 7日，福建福清核电站 5、6号机组正式开工建设； 2015年 12月 25日，广西防城港核电二期 3、4号机组正式开工建设。 2021年 1月 30日，华龙一号全球首堆——福清核电站 5号机组投入商业运行，并以 68.8个月的建设工期，创造全球三代核电首堆建设最短工期纪录。
