The first nuclear power plant nuclear heating project in the northeast region officially supplied heat

On November 1, the nuclear heating demonstration project of Liaoning Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Plant was officially put into operation for heating
.
The project is the first nuclear heating project in northeast China, covering Hongyanhe Town, Wafangdian, Dalian, benefiting nearly 20,000 local residents
.

Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Plant Nuclear Heating Demonstration Project is located in Hongyanhe Town, Wafangdian, Dalian, with a planned heating area of 242,400 square meters and a maximum heating load of 12.
77MW.

The project has built a new primary pipe network of nearly 10 kilometers, a secondary pipe network of 5.
7 kilometers, and 4 new heat exchange stations
.

It is estimated that after the project is put into operation, it will reduce the consumption of standard coal by 5,726 tons per year, reduce carbon dioxide by 14,100 tons, soot by more than 209 tons, sulfur dioxide by more than 60 tons, nitrogen oxides by more than 85 tons, and ash by 2,621 tons, which will effectively improve the atmospheric environment of the heating area and have significant
environmental benefits.

Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Plant is the first nuclear power plant in Northeast China and the largest power energy investment project in
Northeast China.
The four units of the first phase of the project adopt the CPR1000 nuclear power technology of China General Nuclear Power Group with independent intellectual property rights, and all of them were put into operation in September 2016.
In June 2022, the six units of the first and second phases of the Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Plant were fully completed and put into operation, becoming the largest nuclear power plant
in China.
The annual power generation capacity of the Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Plant can reach 48 billion kWh, accounting for about 20% of the electricity consumption of the whole society in Liaoning Province, which can effectively alleviate the phased power shortage in northeast China and stabilize regional power supply
.
Compared with coal-fired power plants of the same scale, it is equivalent to reducing the consumption of standard coal by about 14.
52 million tons and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 39.
93 million tons per year, which is equivalent to planting 108,000 hectares of forest
