On September 27, 2024, China's nuclear power industry reached a milestone moment, as Unit 4 of the Zhangzhou Nuclear Power Phase II Project of China National Nuclear Corporation officially launched the construction of the nuclear island, marking the acceleration of the mass construction of Hualong One, a third-generation nuclear power technology independently developed by China. As a national business card, the Hualong One not only showcases China's global leading position in nuclear power technology, but also represents a crucial step towards becoming a nuclear power powerhouse.

The first concrete pouring of the nuclear island of Unit 4 this time is the prelude to the comprehensive deployment of Zhangzhou Nuclear Power Phase II, demonstrating the firm determination of China National Nuclear Corporation to actively respond to the national development strategy and promote the high-quality development of the nuclear industry and regional economy under the guidance of "three new and one high". Hualong One, with its excellent safety performance and environmental benefits, generates over 10 billion kilowatt hours of electricity per unit annually, effectively helping to reduce emissions and carbon emissions. It is equivalent to planting millions of trees and contributing to the global energy green transformation.

Zhangzhou Nuclear Power, as the starting point for the mass production of Hualong One, has steadily advanced with four units. The first unit is expected to be connected to the grid for power generation within the year, and subsequent units are also being prepared intensively. Zhangzhou Energy Company has joined hands with multiple participating units to form a special working group, ensuring project safety and efficient progress through refined management and high-quality standards, and is committed to building Zhangzhou into a new highland of clean energy in China.

In the future, the Zhangzhou Clean Energy Base is expected to generate over 60 billion kilowatt hours of electricity annually, becoming an important support for Fujian Province and even the whole country to achieve carbon neutrality goals.
