Xiapu nuclear power plant in context
The nearest other tracked nuclear sites are Ningde nuclear power plant (30 km), Cangnan San'ao nuclear power plant (57 km) and Fuqing nuclear power plant (167 km).
Nearest tracked nuclear sites
| Site | Country | Distance | Operating GW gross |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ningde nuclear power plant | China | 30 km | 4.4 |
| Cangnan San'ao nuclear power plant | China | 57 km | 1.2 |
| Fuqing nuclear power plant | China | 167 km | 6.7 |
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.
| Location | Changchun, Fujian, China |
|---|---|
| Coordinates | 26.8019, 120.1520 |
| Elevation | about 125 mabove sea level |
| Setting | On the sea coast, 2.4 km from the water |
| Region | Eastern Asia |
| Units by status | Pre-construction: 2 Announced: 3 |
Elevation is read at the listed coordinates from a 30 m terrain model (SRTM 30 m). Two independent models differ by a median of 6 m across our plants and by up to about 40 m on steep or coastal ground, and a point on a shoreline can read as sea level. Distance to the water is measured to a generalised 1:10 million coastline, so a few kilometres or less is not resolved. This is context, not a design-basis or flood-risk figure.
