China Approves Eight Nuclear Power Units, Hualong One Technology Gains Wider Deployment

The State Council approved eight new nuclear power units on July 31, including six using the Hualong One reactor design, with two designated as Hualong One 2.0 demonstration projects. The Hualong One, a fully indigenous third-generation pressurized water reactor, now has 47 units in operation or under construction globally, the most among third-generation reactors. Each unit can generate 10 billion kWh annually, saving 3 million tonnes of coal and cutting CO2 emissions by 9 million tonnes.
