China builds its 1st marine nuclear power station
2016-11-05 07:39:31 CRIENGLISH.com Web Editor: Xu Yaqi
The construction of China's first marine nuclear power station began on Friday, November 4, 2016. The floating nuclear plant, named ACPR50S and designed by China General Nuclear Power Corp (CGN), will provide electricity, heat and fresh water for marine resources exploration, as well as the everyday life and production of island residents.
CGN has released its contract with Dongfang Electric, a company that will provide reactor pressure vessels for key parts of the power station's experiment reactor.
Reactor pressure vessels have the longest production cycle in the whole project; therefore, they will largely determine how long the plant can be completed.
CGN is also going to use the VR technology to simulate the scenes of construction, which can help prevent and analyze accidents.

Nice progress! After completion, our fishermen and scientists at the South China Sea can have a stable electricity supply! More people and assets could be deployed there!!
