World's First Operational AP1000 Reactor 

In December 2006, the Chinese government decided to import the Westinghouse AP1000 technology through an open bidding process. Construction of unit 1 at the Sanmen Nuclear Power Plant in Zhejiang Province, a Gen III nuclear power reactor based on AP1000 technology, commenced on April 19, 2009. The world's first AP1000 unit became commercially operational on September 21, 2018. Unit 2 at Haiyang Nuclear Power Plant in Shandong Province went into operation on January 9, 2019. The construction of China's four AP1000 units has all been completed. 

AP1000全球首堆 

2006年 12月，中國政府通過公開招標，最終作出引進美國西屋公司 AP1000技術的決定。作為 AP1000三代核電自主化依托項目，浙江三門核電站 1號機組于 2009年 4月 19日開工建設， 2018年 9月 21日投入商運，成為全球首臺投入商運的 AP1000機組。 2019年 1月 9日，山東海陽核電站 2號機組投入商運，至此，四臺 AP1000核電機組全部建成。
