The world's first commercial modular small reactor on land, the Linglong 1, has officially entered into the construction phase for a demonstration project in Changjiang Nuclear Power Plant in South China's Hainan Province.
Launched by China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), the multipurpose modular small reactor (SMR) technology demonstration project will have a power generation capacity of 125,000 kilowatts. After its completion, the annual power generation will reach 1 billion kilowatt hours, meeting the needs of 526,000 households.
SMRs are cost friendly and faster to construct.
