Russia's Rosatom pumps fuel at China's Tianwan-4 nuclear reactor

The unit will enter startup stage in September once criticality is achieved.

Russian state-run nuclear corporation Rosatom has started to load nuclear fuel at the Tianwan-4 nuclear reactor in Lianyungang, in the Jiangsu province of China. Once the first criticality is achieved, the unit will enter the startup stage in September 2018 and be connected to the Chinese power grid before the end of the year.

The Tianwan power plant currently encompasses Tianwan-1 and Tianwan-2, two 990 MW (1,060 MW gross) AES-91 VVER-1000 pressurised-water reactors (PWRs) designed by Gidropress, supplied by Rosatom and commissioned in 2006 and 2007. Two similar units are currently under construction on the site (Tianwan-3 and Tianwan-4).

The Tianwan nuclear power plant is operated by the Jiangsu Nuclear Power Corporation, a joint venture between China National Nuclear Corporation (50%), China Power Investment Corporation (30%) and Jiangsu Guoxin Group (20%).
