The Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Plant (红沿河核电站) is located in Donggang Town, Wafangdian in Liaoning Province of China. The site is within the Prefecture-level city of Dalian, 104 kilometres (65 mi) north of Dalian City proper. The first unit started commercial operations in June 2013.^[1]

Phase I consists of four CPR-1000 reactors, which is a design developed by China from the Framatome-designed PWRs at the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant.^[2]

Phase II is the first construction of two ACPR1000 reactors,^[3] further development of the CPR-1000. This reactor will include a core catcher and double containment as additional safety measures.^[4]
