22 October 2021 WNISR Pakistan’s Oldest Nuclear Reactor KANUPP‑1... Pakistan’s Oldest Nuclear Reactor KANUPP-1 Closed WNISR, 21 October 2021 Thirty years after first warnings that the reactor was unsafe to continue operating, Pakistan’s first power reactor, KANUPP-1, was closed on 1 August 2021. The 125 MW CANDU heavy water reactor, located in Sind Province and less than 30 km from the city of Karachi on the Arabian Sea, was first connected to the grid on 18 October 1971 and was one of the oldest operating reactors in the world. At an event in Islamabad to (...)

29 June 2021 Second Reactor Grid‑Connection in China in 2021 WNISR, 29 June 2021 Hongyanhe-5 in Dalian, Liaoning province, was connected to the grid for the first time on 25 June 2021. The startup comes with a delay of about one year. It is the second reactor to start up in China and the fourth in the world in 2021 with one unit each generating first power in India and Pakistan. The Hongyanhe site, hosting the first nuclear power plant representing the largest energy investment project in Northeast China, is owned and operated by Liaoning Hongyanhe (...)
10 June 2021 WNISR EDF Energy Closes Two Reactors in the United Kingdom—More to Come WNISR, 10 June 2021 On 7 June 2021, EDF Energy, to the surprise of many, announced that it would not seek to restart the two reactors at its Dungeness B nuclear power plant in Kent, United Kingdom. The Dungeness B nuclear power plant will remain closed. — Photo EDF The station had not operated since September 2018—and was thus considered by WNISR in Long-Term Outage (LTO)—while EDF was “managing a range of unique, significant and ongoing technical challenges”. As recently as October 2020, EDF (...)
10 June 2021 WNISR China Overtook France in Nuclear Power Generation WNISR, 10 June 2021 In 2020, China generated more electricity from nuclear power plants than France and accedes to the second rank, behind the United States, of the largest nuclear energy producers in the world, according to concordant data from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the OECD’s International Energy Agency (IEA) and the respective energy administrations in China and France. However, wind and solar together injected twice as much power into the Chinese grid than (...)
21 May 2021 WNISR Two More Nuclear Reactor Construction‑Starts in China Simultaneous construction start of two Russian-designed reactors in China. The event perfectly illustrates the current world nuclear market situation: China builds at home, Russia abroad. No further big players around. WNISR, 21 May 2021 Russia’s President Putin in video-link with Chinese President Xi launching the construction of two Russian reactors in China. China began construction 19 May 2021 of two Russian VVER-1200 reactors, with the start of concrete basemat-pouring for Tianwan-7 (...)
13 May 2021 WNISR Grid Connection for China’s Tianwan‑6 WNISR, 13 May 2021 The Tianwan-6 reactor was connected to the grid on 11 May 2021. Photo: Tianwan Units 5 and 6. Located on the Yellow Sea coast of Jiangsu province, in eastern China, the reactor was built by the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC). Tianwan-6 has been under construction since 7 September 2016. Unit-5 was connected to the grid on 8 August 2020. Both units are of the ACPR-1000 design, a more advanced version of China General Nuclear Corporation’s (CGN) Generation II (...)
2 May 2021 WNISR End of Nuclear Generation at Indian Point, 50 km from Manhattan, New York WNISR, 30 April 2021 Forty-five years after first being connected to the grid, the Indian Point-3 reactor closed on 30 April 2021, bringing to an end nuclear generation at the site which is located on the Hudson River, 48 km from Manhattan, New York. A 50-mile (80-km) radius from the Indian Point Energy Center nuclear plant is shown, which includes all of New York City. In 2011, the United States government urged Americans within 50 miles of the damaged Japanese Fukushima nuclear plant to (...)
