---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources China (Beijing, China)--Zhejiang Thermal Power Construction Company (ZTPC) (Hangzhou, Zhejiang), a subsidiary of China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC) (Beijing), lifted the generator stator into its final position on October 14, 2012, completing the erection of the generator stator for Unit 2 of Fangjiashan Nuclear Power Project, according to an announcement from the CEEC on October 17, 2012.

The generator stator for Unit 2 is 10.19 meters long, 5.4 meters wide and 4.2 meters high, with a lifting weight of 371 metric tons, which makes it the heaviest piece in the conventional island. To ensure smooth lifting of the generator stator, the ZTPC established a leadership team based on advanced planning, strict control and normalized operation. Based on the successful experience of erecting Unit 1, the ZTPC has worked a detailed scheme for the lifting and consulted related parties prior to the erection.

The Fangjiashan Nuclear Power Project, also known as the Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant Phase V Expansion Project, is built and operated by CNNC Qinshan Nuclear Power Company (Haiyan, Zhejiang), a subsidiary of China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) (Beijing) in eastern China's Zhejiang province. The project is furnished with two 1,000-megawatt pressurized reactor nuclear power units, with the adoption of improved second-generation technology.

Construction of the project kicked off on July 17, 2009. On May 27, 2011, the dome for the powerhouse roof was erected into its final position. On August 19, 2012, the erection of the first enclosure module for the condenser of Unit 2 was completed.

According to the schedule, both units will begin commercial operations in December 2013 and October 2014, respectively. Upon completion, the total installed capacity of Qinshan Nuclear Power Base will be expanded to 6,300 MW.
