Nuclear Power Plant in East China Runs Safely
China's first self-designed, constructed, and managed nuclear power plant, Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant, is in sound condition after 10 years of safe operation, plant management said.
Over the past 10 years, the plant in Haiyan County, Zhejiang Province in east China has produced 16.5 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity.
It has replenished its nuclear power reserves five times and the plant has been overhauled the same amount of times over the 10- year period, the last of which was finished in January 2001.
In the first half of the year, the plant generated 1.15 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, beating the half-year target.
The management said they have been able to maintain plant standards, keeping the plant in the best condition ever.
The plant's discharge of nuclear waste has been kept under control, and the radioactive level at the plant has been kept within the control range, the management said.
