Main Construction of Unit 2 at CGN's Shandong Zhaoyuan Nuclear Power Project Commences

On the morning of September 5, the first concrete pour for the nuclear island of Unit 2 at CGN's Shandong Zhaoyuan Nuclear Power Project was initiated, marking the official commencement of main construction for this unit and the entry of the project's Phase I into full-scale construction. According to reports, the concrete pouring for Unit 2, which commenced construction this time, totals approximately 8,800 cubic meters, equivalent to the volume of 3.5 standard swimming pools. The pour is divided into 7 points and will be completed in a single continuous operation, with an estimated total duration of about 60 hours. The main construction of Unit 1 of this project commenced on November 18, 2025. Yu Xiangdong, General Commander of CGN's Shandong Zhaoyuan Nuclear Power Project, stated that currently, the adjacent Unit 1's nuclear island reactor building has completed the hoisting of 4 steel liner modules, with the steel liner constructed to elevation 29.72 meters. Construction of the conventional island turbine foundation, turbine frame, corridors, and circulating water pump pits is progressing concurrently, while cooling tower rebar cage installation and concrete pouring are underway. Construction safety and quality remain under control, with all work progressing in an orderly manner.

SPIC Nuclear Conventional Island Quality Supervision Sub-station Conducts Pre-FCD Supervision and Inspection on Unit 2 of Guangxi Bailong Nuclear Power Plant

Recently, the Nuclear Conventional Island Engineering Quality Supervision Sub-station of State Power Investment Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the SPIC Sub-station) completed the first and pre-FCD quality supervision and inspection of the conventional island of Unit 2 of Phase I of the Guangxi Bailong Nuclear Power Plant. The inspection adopted a cross-supervision model, coordinated by the Nuclear Conventional Island Engineering Quality Supervision Station, with the directly affiliated project station organizing a supervision team of senior industry experts, and the SPIC Sub-station providing full coordination and support throughout the process. This initiative aims to break long-standing inertial thinking and leverage external perspectives to identify management blind spots and quality hazards that may have been overlooked. Yin Jingfeng, Executive Deputy Director of the Nuclear Conventional Island Engineering Quality Supervision Group, attended the event and made work arrangements, with project leaders from the construction unit and all participating units fully involved in the supervision and inspection.

First Concrete Pour (FCD) Successfully Completed for the Conventional Island of Unit 2 at Guangxi Bailong Nuclear Power Plant

At 10:06 on August 9, after 38 hours and 46 minutes of continuous effort, the First Concrete Pour (FCD) for the conventional island of Unit 2 at the SPIC Guangxi Bailong Nuclear Power Plant was successfully completed, marking the full commencement of the main construction phase for the conventional island. The basement floor slab of the conventional island of Unit 2 adopts an integral raft foundation, divided into 9 construction zones using the sequence method. This concrete pour covered Zone 1, starting at 19:20 on August 7, with a cumulative pour of 1,732 cubic meters of concrete, conducted safely and orderly throughout the process. Since July, Typhoon Maysak directly struck Fangchenggang, bringing successive storms, followed by days of high temperatures at the Bailong nuclear site, posing significant challenges to on-site construction.
