The Lufeng Nuclear Power Plant (Chinese: 陆丰核电站) is a nuclear reactor under construction in the Guangdong province of eastern China. It is planned to house 6 pressurized water reactors (PWRs).[1]

CGN Lufeng Nuclear Power Corporation has been working on developing a nuclear plant in Lufeng, Shanwei since 2013.[2] The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) approved the plant in 2014, starting with two AP1000 reactors. The National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA) gave its approval in 2015. Site work began but as of 2023, construction of these units has not. In April 2022, the government approved the construction of two Hualong One reactors, which were designated Units 5 and 6.[1]
