China has approved four new reactors at two new nuclear power stations in the south of the country earlier this week, taking the total number of newly sanctioned nuclear power units to 10 in 2022, the highest yearly number in more than a decade, state news agency Xinhua and the China Nuclear Energy Association said.
The two projects that have been approved will cost about $11.5bn (€11.5bn), business news portal Yicai.com said.
The projects are the construction of two CAP1000 units as Phase I of the Lianjiang nuclear power station in Guangdong province, southern China, and two Hualong One, or HPR1000 units, as Phase II of the Zhangzhou nuclear station in Fujian province, southeastern China.
