Ling Ao Nuclear Power Plant (Chinese: 岭澳核电站) is located on the Dapeng Peninsula in Longgang District, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, about 60 km north of Hong Kong, 1 km north of Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant. It is operated by China General Nuclear Power Group. The units on site are separated between phase I and phase II.

The plant was one of China's largest energy projects of the latter 1990s.[5]

Reactors

Ling Ao phase I has two nuclear reactors, 950 MWe PWRs Ling Ao I-1 and I-2, based on the French 900 MWe three cooling loop design (M310), which started commercial operation in 2002 and 2003.[6] The planned investment sum for phase I was ca 4 billion USD.[7]

In a Phase II development two CPR-1000 reactors, Ling Ao II-1 and II-2 (alternatively, units 3 and 4), were constructed in conjunction with Areva, based on the French three cooling loop design. Ling Ao II-1, China’s first domestic CPR-1000 nuclear power plant, was first connected to the grid on 15 July 2010,[8] having started criticality testing on 11 June 2010.[9] It started commercial operations on 27 September 2010.[10] Ling Ao II-2 was synchronized to the grid on May 3, 2011, with commercial operation beginning on August 7, 2011.[11]

Reactor data

The Ling Ao Nuclear Power Plant consist of 4 operational reactors.[12]
