Moscow (RIA Novosti) May 14, 2007
Russia's nuclear equipment export monopoly said Thursday it has started a 100-hour test of the first power unit of the Tianwan nuclear power plant in China at nominal capacity. Atomstroyexport is building the Tianwan NPP in eastern China's port city of Lianyungang. The plant, which is being built under a 1992 bilateral agreement, features improved VVER-1000 reactors and K-100-6/3000 turbo-generators.

It was reported in April that the first power unit would be put into commercial operation after all tests have been conducted.

The first unit of the Tianwan NPP went on line in early January, but was then suspended for maintenance work.

The second power unit of the Chinese nuclear power plant was put to 12% of its nominal capacity May 8.

Atomstroyexport is building seven NPP power units in China, India, Iran and Bulgaria.
