Module 5 of Containment Steel Liner Successfully Lifted at Unit 3 of Guangdong Taipingling Nuclear Power Plant

On August 10, the construction of Unit 3 at CGN's Guangdong Taipingling Nuclear Power Plant reached a critical milestone. A Zoomlion 2,000-tonne crawler crane, serving as the core lifting main force, successfully completed the precise positioning of Module 5 of the containment steel liner. This lifting operation involved significant technical challenges and demanding working conditions. The steel liner Module 5 weighed nearly 280 tonnes, with a component diameter of 45 meters, a height of nearly 6 meters, and a wall thickness of only 6 millimeters, making it a typical ultra-large thin-walled flexible component. The module's lateral windward area exceeded 300 square meters, making it susceptible to wind-induced sway during lifting, which imposed extremely high requirements on the crane's operational stability, control precision, and heavy-load adaptability. The Zo...

First Integrated Hoisting of Nuclear Island Steel Liner Module 5 with Attached Electrical and Instrumentation Cable Tray System within CGN

At 15:30 on August 10, 2026, with the successful positioning of Steel Liner Module 5 in the reactor building of Unit 3, the attached electrical and instrumentation (E&I) cable tray system was simultaneously placed, marking the successful completion of the first "Five-ization" installation project for Module 5 attached E&I cable trays within China General Nuclear Power Group (CGN). Traditional nuclear power Module 5 construction adopts a serial mode of "structure first, installation second, commissioning last." The E&I construction for Module 5 of Unit 3 at Taipingling Phase II innovatively adopted an integrated scheme of "prefabrication-installation-integral hoisting." E&I construction was advanced to the module assembly stage, changing the traditional on-site dispersed work method. Through prefabrication of steel materials in workshops, delivery to the site for welding and installation, a large amount of high-altitude, cross-operational...

Lifting of Steel Liner Module 1 for Unit 4 of Guangdong Taipingling Nuclear Power Plant Successfully Completed

A key construction milestone was reached at the Guangdong Taipingling nuclear power construction site, where the 2,000-tonne crawler crane of CNNC Machinery Engineering precisely completed the lifting and positioning of Steel Liner Module 1 for Unit 4 of Guangdong Taipingling Nuclear Power Plant. The entire lifting operation lasted 2 hours and 12 minutes, with smooth and orderly lifting, lowering, and slewing movements, and strict control over safety and quality throughout the process, marking the official commencement of main structure construction for the nuclear island reactor building. As the core barrier of the reactor containment, the steel liner module safeguards the nuclear safety defense line, and modular lifting is also a key technical step in the batch construction of Hualong One reactors. The steel liner module lifted this time integrates the base plate in one formed piece, featuring a large diameter, thin shell wall, and relatively low stiffness...

CGN Guangdong Taipingling Nuclear Power Project Unit 2 Officially Commences Commercial Operation

On August 3, CGN Guangdong Taipingling Nuclear Power Project Unit 2 officially commenced commercial operation, marking the full completion of the Phase I project of the first Hualong One self-developed third-generation nuclear power project in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Located in Huidong County, Huizhou City, Guangdong Province, the Taipingling Nuclear Power Project's Phase I includes Units 1 and 2, which received national approval on April 8, 2019. Among them, Unit 1 of the project commenced commercial operation in April this year. The construction team fully leveraged experience from previous Hualong One projects, successively completing a series of major engineering milestones including nuclear island main structure construction, equipment installation and commissioning, nuclear fuel loading, first criticality of the reactor, and grid connection for power generation, with steady improvements in project construction quality, safety levels, and construction efficiency...
