Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Plant
Hongyanhe is a nuclear power plant in the city of 瓦房店市 in Liaoning Province, China, with six reactor units generating electricity for the region. The facility consists of large concrete structures, cooling systems, and infrastructure for monitoring and maintaining nuclear operations.
Construction began several years ago as part of China's energy policy to increase electricity capacity with international cooperation. The final unit entered operation in June and all six reactors have been running simultaneously since October.
Access to the site is generally restricted to authorized personnel, with occasional educational visits available under special conditions. Visitors should follow all security regulations and adhere to instructions from site staff.
The facility uses different reactor types including the Chinese-developed ACPR1000 units designed for enhanced safety features. Staff work around the clock in shifts to ensure continuous monitoring and smooth operation of the six units.
