Ling Ao Nuclear Power Plant (岭澳核电站) is located on the Dapeng Peninsula in Longgang District, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, about 60 km north of Hong Kong, 1 km north of Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant. It is operated by China Guangdong Nuclear Power Company. The units on site are separated between phase I and phase II.
Ling Ao phase I has two nuclear reactors, 950 MWe PWRs Ling Ao I-1 and I-2, based on the French 900 MWe three cooling loop design, which started commercial operation in 2002 and 2003.
In a Phase II development two CPR-1000 reactors, Ling Ao II-1 and II-2 (alternatively, units 3 and 4), were constructed in conjunction with Areva, based on the French three cooling loop design. Ling Ao II-1, China’s first domestic CPR-1000 nuclear power plant, was first connected to the grid on 15 July 2010, having started criticality testing on 11 June 2010. It started commercial operations on 27 September 2010. Ling Ao II-2 was synchronized to the grid on May 3, 2011, with commercial operation beginning on August 7, 2011.
