The site is Dongping Town, Yangjiang City in western Guangdong Province. The station will have six 1,000 megawatt (MW) CPR-1000 pressurized water reactors (PWRs).The plant began commercial operation in March 2014.The CPR-1000 is a PWR design developed by China from the Areva-designed PWRs at the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant. Yangjiang marks a step in the development of China's domestic nuclear industry. Shu Guogang, GM of China Guangdong Nuclear Power Project said, "We built 55 percent of Ling Ao Phase 2, 70 percent of Hongyanhe, 80 percent of Ningde and 90 percent of Yangjiang Station."The site in Yangjiang was selected for nuclear development in 1988. The project was approved in 2004. The plant was originally to be one of the first in China to host Generation III reactors — specifically AP1000 reactors. In 2007 however, plans were revised from the AP1000 design to EPR design. Later in 2007 these plans were again revised, with the EPR designs to be realized at Taishan, and the established CPR-1000 reactor design (as already used at Daya Bay) selected for Yangjiang.Ground was broken for the plant in February 2008; the first concrete for the first unit was poured on 16 December 2008.Construction of the fourth unit was to begin in March 2011, but was delayed by China's safety review in reaction to the nuclear accident in Japan; the first concrete was poured in November 2012.Yangjiang 5 is the first construction of an ACPR-1000 reactor, starting in September 2013. This design is an evolution to the Generation III level of the CPR-1000, and will include a core catcher and double containment as additional safety measures.. }
