China is poised to start building the world’s first fusion-fission hybrid nuclear power plant, with the goal of generating 100 MW of continuous electricity and connecting to the grid by the end of the decade.

The Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post said the project to build the 20-billion-yuan ($2.76bn, €2.56bn) Xinghuo high-temperature superconducting reactor has entered its first phase with a public tender for an environmental impact assessment, according to zbytb.com, a platform that aggregates bidding and procurement information in China.

The facility will be built on Yaohu Science Island in the hi-tech zone of Nanchang, Jiangxi province, in central China, according to the tender. The environmental report will include baseline studies, impact evaluations on air, water, noise and ecology, as well as risk analyses, pollution control measures and monitoring plans.
