"The reactor pressure vessel has been installed at unit 1 of the Lianjiang nuclear power plant in China's Guangdong province. It will be one of two CAP1000 reactors planned for the first phase of the plant.

The vessel - which will house the nuclear reactor and is the core of a nuclear power plant - was manufactured by Shanghai Electric Nuclear Power Group and was delivered to the Lianjiang site on 13 February.

With a net weight of about 271 tonnes, the vessel was hoisted into place on 27 February, the Shanghai Nuclear Engineering Research and Design Institute (SNERDI) announced. It noted that during the preliminary preparations for this hoisting, the integrated installation technology for the reactor pressure vessel shell insulation was used for the first time. This, it said, "effectively reduced on-site cross-construction, greatly improved construction efficiency, and provided new technical ideas and reference solutions for the construction of nuclear power projects".

SNERDI - a subsidiary of State Power Investment Corp (SPIC) - said that installation of the vessel marks "the beginning of the installation of the main system equipment of the nuclear island and laying a solid foundation for the subsequent main pipeline installation".

The construction of the first two 1250 MWe CAP1000 reactors - the Chinese version of the Westinghouse AP1000 - at the Lianjiang site was approved by China's State Council in September 2022. Excavation works for the units began in the same month, with the pouring of first concrete for the foundation of unit 1 starting in September 2023 and that of unit 2 in April last year. Unit 1 is expected to be completed and put into operation in 2028.

Once all six CAP1000 units planned at the site are completed, the annual power generation will be about 70.2 TWh, which will reduce standard coal consumption by more than 20 million tonnes, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 52 million tonnes, sulphur dioxide by about 171,000 tonnes and nitrogen oxides by about 149,000 tonnes.

SPIC says the Lianjiang plant will be the first nuclear power project in China to adopt seawater secondary circulation cooling technology as well as the first to use a super-large cooling tower."

Many #Americans are blaming #China, #Mexico, and #Canada for exporting too much and treating the US unfairly. What are the ultimate causes of the US #TradeDeficits? International trade is complicated, but one simple factor is that Americans don't care about the global market. The US trade volume with Africa and South America has declined in recent years. American manufacturers focus too much on high value added products and have a total lack of interest and understanding of the global market.

very very dangerous #China #propaganda, instead of solving their #economy problem (mostly rooted in #finance #bank #banks or the #government not doing their job)

#China resorts to the same simple #scapegoat others (#USA) concept #wtf

it is ALSO because #China as a non #democratic country invited the #concepts of #private #capitalism and is now feeling it's #instable #nonsustainable
downsides: total #dependency on #money and the flow of #money

what about this #China: give every young man and woman a piece of land FOR FREE (you have enough land) and a cheap #loan to build a #house grow #food and install #solar how about that?

#economy #problem solved in no time

#aljazeera respect for your high quality interesting reporting, but it's a bit of a irony a country (#qatar) who's #economy is running to almost 100% on #bigoil where almost 100% (except the foreigners) are working for the one and only single #king owned #oilcompany which results (fantastically) into 0% #unemployment statistics (tradingeconomics.com/qatar/une) makes a #documentary about #unemployment in #China

#unemployment is very #dangerous if #private companies do not get enough #loans from #banks to build real things

the #government needs to create jobs (exactly the OPPOSITE of what the #trump and #elonmusk lead #USA are doing right now = they gonna make their #economy worse! NOT BETTER by increasing gap between #rich and #poor

(the #rich simply do hoard their wealth and not spend it thus not increase #job growth)

#unemployment is a great danger to #governments as #population could do #protests and #revolution

the #government (#China or #Europe or #USA) needs to step in and foster #entrepreneurship and foster #bank #banks giving loans to people with ideas

this of course can only be done if the #wealthy are forced to provide #loans to #entrepreneurs by threatening high #tax, if they don't

the worst #solution to unemployment would be #war

#soldiers are (mostly) also paid workers for the #government

so the #nation has to spend billions anyway, so it would be #smart to spend it on #entrepreneurship (#creative creating things) not on #war (destroying things and lifes)

How #coward and #hypocritical is this assertion.

So,should we expect your forthcoming invitation to M #jinping and also #humiliating #china publicly with your moralistic "opinions" and "advises" about their treatment of #Uyghurs in their country ?

Please do so M #trump
