Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has completed the shipment of 16 turbine rotors, consisting of 12 low-pressure and 4 high-pressure units, to nuclear power plants (NPP) in China that are the world's first to adopt the AP1000 reactor design. MHI received the orders for the NPP-use turbine generators, destined for Units No.1 and 2 of the Sanmen NPP and Units No.1 and 2 of the Haiyang NPP, in 2007 and 2008. MHI began production of the turbine rotors, core component of the turbine generators, in the autumn of 2009.
The Sanmen NPP is located in Sanmen, Zhejiang Province, and the Haiyang NPP is situated in Haiyang, Shandong Province. The plants are currently being built, respectively, by Sanmen Nuclear Power and Shandong Nuclear Power. Each of the NPPs' four units will have an output capacity of 1,250 MWe. Three units will be commissioned in 2014, while the second unit of Haiyang is scheduled for 2015.
