The Daya Bay nuclear power station in south China's Guangong Province, which is the first large-scale commercial nuclear power station on the Chinese mainland, has recorded 15 consecutive years of safe and stable operation. |
Construction of the station started in 1987. It went into commercial operation in 1994. By Sunday, the station had provided 200 billion kilowatt-hours to the power grid, including 137.3 billion kilowatt-hours to Hong Kong, according to a seminar held in Shenzhen to mark the 30 years development of the station.
