Bab 231: Abandoned Nuclear Power Station

Qinshan Nuclear Power Station was the first multi-unit nuclear power plant to have been constructed in mainland China¹, with an annual generating capacity of 50 billion kWh. And it was the largest nuclear power plant in China. Actually, it was the pride of China.

Although in many aspects, China was not as advanced as foreign countries in technology, Qinshan Nuclear Power Station was a state-owned enterprise with strict safety measures. During several decades, it was never shut down without planning. As a result, it was consistently ranked at the first place of the world's most secure nuclear power plant. Unfortunately, it was just a glorious history.
