Shin-Hanul nuclear power plant

Shin-Hanul nuclear power plant in context

By gross operating capacity Shin-Hanul nuclear power plant is the 4th largest of 8 operating nuclear sites in South Korea, holding 11% of the country's operating capacity, and ranks 43rd of 172 worldwide.

Its operating units started up between 2022 and 2023; the median unit is 3.5 years old, younger than the median of 27.0 in South Korea.

The 2 units with both construction and grid dates on record took 9.9 to 10.5 years (median 10.2) from construction start to grid connection; the median across all reactors connected in the 2020s is 7.7 years.

The nearest other tracked nuclear sites are Hanul nuclear power plant (1 km), Shin-Wolsong nuclear power plant (152 km) and Wolsong nuclear power plant (153 km).

The current net rating of Unit 1 differs from its design net capacity by +5.5% (1,340 MW at design, 1,414 MW now).

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.
