 The first power unit of the Tianwan nuclear power plant in China has been connected to the Chinese power grid, Russia's nuclear power equipment and service export monopoly Atomstroiexport said Friday. This is the first power unit commissioned in China that Russian experts helped to build.

The power unit is running at 30% capacity and is expected to be put into commercial operation in fall.

Atomstroiexport said the power unit's connection was "an important result of productive cooperation between Russian and Chinese specialists."

"Atomstroiexport has proved that Russia's nuclear industry can create modern safe, reliable and economical nuclear power plants," an Atomstroiexport representative said. "Experts have recognized the Tianwan NPP as one of the safest and most efficient NPPs in the world."

Atomstroiexport has been building the Tianwan NPP, which uses improved VVER-1000 reactors and K-100-6/3000 turbogenerators, in line with a Russian-Chinese agreement signed in 1992.

Atomstroiexport is Russia's leading company implementing intergovernmental agreements on building nuclear facilities overseas. It is the world's only company building five power units for NPPs in China, India and Iran.
