Unit by unit
Each unit's rating, type and milestone dates as recorded by the Global Nuclear Power Tracker, with any correction we made to it. A dash or "not disclosed" means the source does not give the value.
Yibin Beijiang nuclear power plant 1 Cancelled (inferred)
GNPT types the unit as a pressurized heavy water reactor, but its model is the CAP1000, the Chinese version of the AP1000, a pressurised water reactor. The World Nuclear Association reactor database lists the CAP1000 unit Haiyang 3 as a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR), model CAP1000. The fuel family follows the type. The unit is cancelled, so this corrects the record of what was proposed.
