More than 600 engineers and technicians at south China's Ling'ao Nuclear Power Plant have spent their Lunar New Year holiday finishing the final commissioning, so that the plant can be operational before the peak electricity use period in July this year.

Officials at the four-billion-U.S. dollar plant near Shenzhen in Guangdong Province said they expect the nuclear power plant to be put into service on June 30, 15 days ahead of schedule.

The plant was loaded with nuclear fuel before the Spring Festival, the officials said.

The Ling'ao plant, with two 900,000-kilowatt generating units, will be the third nuclear power plant in service in China. The other two are the Daya Bay plant, also in Guangdong, and the Qinshan plant, in east China's Zhejiang Province.
