Beijing: China has expanded its first nuclear power plant at Qinshan with installation of a new generator unit, authorities said on Sunday, indicating resumption of work at new nuclear projects halted for safety review in the wake of Fukushima atomic disaster in Japan last year.

The pressurised water reactor power-generating unit, with a capacity of 650,000 kw, takes the total number of generator units at Qinshan to seven and the total capacity to 4.32 million kw, China National Nuclear Corporation said in a statement.

The nuclear plant is expected to generate about 34 billion kwh of electricity annually, it said. The first one, also with a capacity of 650,000 kw, was put into commercial use in October 2010. The new units are designed, built and operated by Chinese companies, said Chen Hua, assistant general manager of CNNC. (PTI)
