[3] The first CNP-300 unit started operations in Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant in 1991.
Other features include single containment, 40-year design life and a 12-month fuel cycle.
There have been built two further CNP-600 reactors at Changjiang Nuclear Power Plant, which went into regular operation in 2015 and 2016.
Other features include double containment, active and passive safety systems, improved response capability in the case of a station blackout event, digital instrumentation and control, and a 60-year design life.
[7] In 2013, CNNC announced that it had independently developed the ACP-1000, with Chinese authorities claiming full intellectual property rights over the design.
[7] As a result of the success of the Hualong One project, no ACP-1000 reactors have been built to date.
Power output will be 1150 MWe, with a 60-year design life, and would use a combination of passive and active safety systems with a double containment.
