Taishan
Two 1,750 MW EPR units, the first European pressurized reactors in the world to operate.
Overview
Units 1 and 2 entered commercial service 2018 and 2019 after a 12 year construction saga with Areva and CGN. A 2021 fuel rod integrity issue briefly drew international attention. Taishan units remain the most powerful single reactors in service.
