华龙一号，有新进展！

Core Viewpoint - The construction of the "Hualong One" nuclear power project in Zhejiang, China, has officially commenced with the start of concrete pouring for the nuclear island of the first unit at the Jin Qimen Nuclear Power Plant, marking a significant milestone for China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) in establishing its third nuclear power base in Zhejiang [1]. Group 1: Project Overview - The Jin Qimen Nuclear Power Plant is located in Xiangshan County, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, and is controlled by China National Nuclear Corporation's publicly listed company, China Nuclear Power (601985) [3]. - The project plans to build six units of 1 million kilowatt-class pressurized water reactor nuclear power units, with the first two units approved by the State Council on December 29, 2023 [3]. Group 2: Technical Specifications - The Hualong One model, which has complete independent intellectual property rights in China, will be used for the units, with each unit having a rated capacity of 1.2 million kilowatts and a designed operational lifespan of 60 years [3]. - Once fully operational, the plant will have a total installed capacity of approximately 7.2 million kilowatts, with an expected annual electricity generation of 55 billion kilowatt-hours [3]. Group 3: Environmental Impact - The expected annual electricity generation is projected to meet half of Ningbo City's total electricity consumption in 2024, and the project is anticipated to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 45 million tons, equivalent to reforesting an area comparable to 65 Dongqian Lake Scenic Area in Ningbo [3].
