The China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) announced progress in the construction of the Zhangzhou nuclear power plant, located in Fujian province. The pouring of the first concrete for the nuclear island of unit 3 marks the beginning of the second phase of the nuclear power plant, designed to accommodate six Hualong One reactors.

In May 2014, the local government approved Phase I of the Zhangzhou plant, initially conceived with two AP1000 units. The National Nuclear Safety Administration granted approval in December 2015 for the AP1000 units and confirmed the site selection in October 2016. Construction of Phase I was originally scheduled to begin in May 2017, but CNNC later opted for the HPR1000 (Hualong One) design.

China Has Been Working on Zhangzhou Plants Since 2019

Construction of unit Zhangzhou 1 began in October 2019, followed by reactor 2 in September 2020. These units are expected to enter commercial operation in 2024 and 2025, respectively. CNNC has already issued the environmental impact assessment for Zhangzhou units 3 and 4. In September 2022, the State Council of China approved the construction of two Hualong One units as Phase II of the Zhangzhou plant.

CNNC also announced the start of Phase II work with the pouring of the first concrete for the nuclear island of unit 3. The Zhangzhou project is owned by CNNC-Guodian Zhangzhou Energy Company, a joint venture with a 51% stake by CNNC and 49% by the Guodian Corporation of China.

After a pause in nuclear power plant construction, China has reinforced its plans in nuclear energy, due to the urgency to reduce carbon emissions. The country now leads in terms of the number of nuclear reactors on the planet, demonstrating its commitment to clean energy alternatives.

China Has Been Working on Zhangzhou Plants Since 2019

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Argentina’s TV erupts and fires back: “the minister is selling us out to the Brazilians” after a snow campaign becomes the target of mockery.

A Brazilian municipality relies on 97% federal money, has 14 secretariats, 11 councilors, and a budget of R$ 131 million, but only 915 people are formally employed, and no one knows how the other 25,000 live.

Japan teaches the world how giant arched gates weighing up to 530 tons protect Osaka from devastating typhoons, block storm surges in minutes, and drain 330 m³/s to prevent urban flooding.

One of the biggest mudslides ever recorded on the Trans-Amazon Highway trapped trucks, cars, and motorcycles at the same spot for three consecutive days while a tractor with a winch tried to free them one by one under the rain.

The São Paulo government opens 1,700 spots in free courses in the capital and Greater São Paulo, with classes starting on April 27 and registrations available in person or online for areas with high demand in the job market.
