Chinese state-run nuclear corporation China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) has installed the second of three steam generators at the sixth unit at the Tianwan nuclear power plant in the Jiangsu province of China. The Tianwan facility already includes the two 990 MW (1,060 MW gross) units, which were commissioned in 2007. 1,060 MW (1,126 MW gross) Tianwan-3 entered commercial operation in February 2018 and 990 MW (1,060 MW) Tianwan-4 in October 2018. Two additional 1,000 MW (1,080 MW gross) ACPR1000 reactors were approved by the Chinese State Council in December 2015 and construction started in December 2015 for unit 5 and in September 2016 for unit 6. They are currently expected to enter commercial operation in late 2020-early 2021 and late 2021-early 2022, respectively. Two additional reactors, Tianwan-7 and Tianwan-8, are also under consideration, though without any specific commissioning date so far. The Tianwan nuclear power plant is operated by the Jiangsu Nuclear Power Corporation, a joint venture between China National Nuclear Corporation (50%), China Power Investment Corporation (30%) and Jiangsu Guoxin Group (20%).
