According to Russia's Atomstroyexport, which built the new Tianwan-1 reactor (a VVER-1000) on a turnkey basis, the unit will operate at 30% nominal power for testing purposes until the end of the year. The Tianwan project, which comprises two modern VVER-1000s in China's Jiangsu province, was the first nuclear power plant export order for Russian industry in a decade and the first one implemented during the "transition to market conditions." It was built under a 1992 bilateral cooperation agreement. Atomstroyexport said that hot testing had begun at Tianwan-2, in preparation for fuel loading at that unit. |
