Changjiang nuclear power plant

Changjiang nuclear power plant in context

By gross operating capacity Changjiang nuclear power plant is the 16th largest of 18 operating nuclear sites in China, holding 2% of the country's operating capacity, and ranks 123rd of 172 worldwide.

Its operating units started up between 2015 and 2016; the median unit is 10.5 years old, older than the median of 10.0 in China.

The 2 units with both construction and grid dates on record took 5.5 to 5.6 years (median 5.6) from construction start to grid connection; the median across all reactors connected in the 2010s is 5.9 years.

The nearest other tracked nuclear sites are Linglong nuclear power plant (0 km), Bailong nuclear power plant (238 km) and Fangchenggang nuclear power plant (248 km).

Build time by unit

Nearest tracked nuclear sites

How these are worked out: ranks use gross operating capacity; ages count from the start-up year on record, as on the age page; build times run from construction start to grid connection, as on the build-times page; ratings are the tracker's net and design net capacity, as on the uprates page. Distances are straight-line between exact positions, so a site with only an approximate position gets none. A unit missing a date or a rating is left out of the figure that needs it.
