China is one of the world’s largest producers of nuclear power, and it’s consistently expanding its nuclear power production capacity with new reactors.

Units 1 and 2 of the Fangchenggang Nuclear Power Plant have been operational since 2016, while Units 3 and 4 are currently under construction.

A total of six reactors are expected to be operational at the Fangchenggang site. Units 1 and 2 are both CPR-1000 reactors, while Units 3 and 4 are Hualong One reactors. The planned Units 5 and 6 are also expected to be Hualong One reactors.

Construction of Unit 3 began in December 2015, followed by Unit 4 a year later. Dextra has supplied more than 500,000 sleeves of Griptec coupler for the reinforcement of the APC structure.

Griptec is well known for its reliability and high performance in tension, compression, and fatigue, thanks to its unique design that meets the world’s most stringent project specifications, particularly for nuclear reactor construction.
