These will be Generation 3+ systems with VVER-1200 reactors. In 2021, the construction of new nuclear power units in China began at the Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant and the Xudapu nuclear power plant. The commissioning of new units of the Tianwan NPP is scheduled for 2026-2027, and the Xudapu NPP for 2027-2028.
