The demonstration High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor- Pebble-bed Module ( HTR-PM ) at the Shidaowan site in Shandong province of China has reached its initial full power with “ stable operation under the mode of ‘ two reactors with one machine ’”. The plant features two small reactors that drive a single 210 MWe turbine . It is owned by a consortium led by China Huaneng

( 47.5 %), with China National Nuclear Corporation subsidiary China Nuclear Engineering Corporation ( 32.5 %) and Tsinghua University ’ s Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology ( 20 %), which is the research and development leader . They reported that it had reached “ initial full power ” on 9 December and “ this operating state has verified that all systems of the

demonstration project meet the design functions , laying the foundation for the project to be put into operation ”.

The Huaneng Shidaowan High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor Demonstration Project is the world ’ s first pebble bed modular hightemperature gas-cooled reactor , and having achieved the initial fullpower operation of the dual reactors and “ tested the operation control capability ” of it in “ two reactors with one machine ” mode , the operators describe it as “ laying the foundation for future commercial operation ”.
