Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant 

The Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant is located in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, with an installed capacity of 2×980 MWe. The construction of the plant started on August 7, 1987, and it became commercially operational on May 6, 1994. The first large-scale 1,000 MWe-class commercial nuclear power plant on the Chinese mainland, the Daya Bay Plant adheres to high standards. As a joint venture, it benefited from imported technologies and managerial expertise. Built with borrowed capital, it has been able to repay its loans through the sale of electricity it generates. The construction and operation of this plant offer valuable experience in how technologies used in building and operating large-scale nuclear power plants can be internalized – experience especially useful in personnel training, construction project management, and plant commissioning and operation. The construction of the Daya Bay Plant was an important achievement of China's reform and opening up, and a useful attempt at building a modern enterprise. It has been running safely and reliably for more than 20 years, and has performed at the top level by international standards.
