Moorside nuclear power station Moorside nuclear power station Moorside Nuclear Power Station was proposed for a site near Sellafield, in Cumbria, United Kingdom. The original plan by NuGeneration, a British subsidiary of Toshiba-owned Westinghouse Electric Company, had the station coming online from 2024 with 3.4GW of new nuclear capacity, from 3 AP1000 reactors. Work up to 2018 would include acquiring the site licence, the development consent order, and other required permits and permissions to start work. Site preparation would take two years, up to 2020. Following the Chapter 11 bankruptcy of Westinghouse in March 2017, the project was put under review. From December 2017
Yangjiang Nuclear Power Station Yangjiang Nuclear Power Station The Yangjiang Nuclear Power Station (YNPS; ) is a nuclear power plant in Guangdong province, China. 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, and as of 2018 is the largest nuclear power station in China. 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.
