as_of = June 2, 2007The Nuclear power station Tianwan ( _zh. 田湾核电站/田灣核電站|Tiánwān Hédiànzhàn) is the largest nuclear power station in the People's Republic of China and is on the coast of the Yellow Sea approximately 30 kilometers east the city Lianyungang.

The nuclear power station consists of two blocks with 1,060 MW each achievement, constructed by Russia's Atomstroyexport. The first block is operational since 2006 and the second block is the partial load operation.

History

Construction on the Tianwan-1 reactor commenced on 20 October 1999, and on 20 October 2000 for the second unit. The first unit went critical on 20 December 2005. Construction on the second unit finished May 2007, and was one of the few reactors to come online during that year.

Details

Both units use VVER technology supplied from Russia. They cost together approximately 3.3 billion dollars. The units are the Russian type standard reactor type VVER-1000/392 (also carries the designation of VVER-1000/428) adapted specifically for China. This reactor version was equipped with western control systems and received additional protection from earthquakes. The IAEA say the station is the safest nuclear power plant in the world.
