With China s first commercial nuclear heating project expected to provide heat to the entire city of Haiyang, Shandong province, by the end of 2021, the scenario of nuclear powered-heat during winters in northern parts of China along with a reduced reliance on fossil fuels are both likely going forward, insiders said.
Consisting of two AP1000 units capable of heating a total of 700,000 square meters, the pilot project began operating at Haiyang nuclear power plant recently and is expected to eventually provide heating for more than 200 million sq m of housing, said Shandong Nuclear Power Co, a subsidiary of State Power Investment Corp.
