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.

This collection brings together nuclear power plants that have shaped the history of civilian nuclear energy. Some experienced accidents that changed the world’s view of nuclear energy. Chernobyl in Ukraine remains a symbol of the 1986 disaster, while Fukushima in Japan showed the risks of natural events. Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania paused the building of new reactors in the US for many years. Other sites are among the largest in the world, like Kashiwazaki-Kariwa in Japan or Bruce in Canada. Many places are facing challenges today, such as the Zaporijia plant in Ukraine. The collection also includes projects that tried to push the technical limits of this energy. Superphénix in France and Monju in Japan explored new types of reactors, with mixed results. Some facilities, like Bataan in the Philippines, were never operational despite being fully built. Others, like Oyster Creek or Tokai, helped start nuclear work in their countries. From Siberia to the United Arab Emirates, from Canada to India, these sites tell stories about energy choices, technical progress, failures, and questions that have surrounded this source of power for more than sixty years.
