China is to begin constructing on Saturday its first-ever nuclear power plant in its northeastern Liaoning province, a key heavy industrial base of the country.
Located in city Wafangdian on the Liaodong Pininsula, the planned nuclear power project, named Liaoning Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Plant, will involve a total investment of 50 billion yuan, or some 6.5 billiion dollars. Its first phase project is expected to be completed in 2014, with four-set milllion-kilowatt turbine generators put into operation, producing each year at least 29 billion kilowatt hours of electricity.
