Notes

No fresh 2026 reporting found — CNNC opaque on CFR-600 unit 2 (sister unit Xiapu-1 reportedly operating since 2023, unconfirmed in open sources). construction start 2020-12-27 per WNN Dec 2020, corroborated by Wikipedia citing IAEA PRIS Feb 2026; confirm via PRIS direct. original COD target needs PRIS; 2026 grid expectation from 2020 reporting is stale, not asserted.
