Shidao Bay Nuclear Power Plant (simplified Chinese: 石岛湾核电厂; traditional Chinese: 石島灣核電廠; pinyin: Shídǎo wān hédiàn chǎng) is a nuclear power plant in Shandong province, China. The site is located near the Xiqianjia village in the town of Ningjin subdistrict, Rongcheng, Weihai, Shandong. The plant is located about 23 kilometres (14 mi) south of Rongcheng City, 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) north-west from Shidao and 68 kilometres (42 mi) south-est from Weihai City.[5] The plant will have the first fourth generation of nuclear reactors in the world: the HTR-PM, a HTGR concept. The plant will ultimately have 10 210 megawatt (MWe) units of these type. Each unit is made of two HTR-PM reactors driving a single 210 megawatt (MWe) steam turbine. The plant will also host the construction of the two demonstration 1,500 megawatt (MWe) CAP1400 pressurized water reactor in China, a larger AP1000 design, worked together by Westinghouse and State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation (SNPTC) and other institutes.

Shidao Bay nuclear power plant is a jointly investment of China Huaneng Group, China Nuclear Engineering & Construction Group and Tsinghua University.

The total investment of 100 billion yuan (US$15.7 billion) and the 20 years construction duration makes it China largest planned nuclear project.

Development

Construction permit was issued by the National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA) of the Environmental Protection Department (EPA) on 12 December 2012 and the site preparation, started in 2011, just before the Fukushima events, was resumed. Basement concrete pour was completed on 29 March 2014.[6]
