Notes

CGN primary release identifies Guangdong Taipingling Phase III as a two-unit Hualong One 2.0 demonstration project; State Council report confirms approval of four projects and WNN identifies units 5/6. 1126 MWe is provisional design-typical net capacity (as used for Jinqimen-3), not the reported 1217 MWe rating; unit-specific net capacity and COD unconfirmed. No nuclear-island first concrete reported.
