MHI completes shipment of turbine rotors for Chinese nuclear plants

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd delivered 16 turbine rotors for two nuclear plants.

The delivery consists of 12 low-pressure and 4 high-pressure units to nuclear power plants in China that are the world's first to adopt the AP1000 reactor design.

MHI received the orders for the NPP-use turbine generators for Units No.1 and 2 of the Sanmen plant and Units No.1 and 2 of the Haiyang NPP, in 2007 and 2008.

MHI began production of the turbine rotors, core component of the turbine generators, in the autumn of 2009. The last turbine rotor shipped from MHI's Takasago Machinery Works was a low-pressure unit for Sanmen.

The Sanmen plant is located in Sanmen, Zhejiang Province while the Haiyang plant is situated in Haiyang, Shandong Province. The plants are currently being built. Each of the plants’ four units will have an output capacity of 1,250 MWe (megawatts electrical).

MHI received the orders for the turbine generator system for the two plants jointly with Harbin Power Equipment Company Ltd. It designed and manufactured the nuclear power plant-use turbines, including the rotors, which are the core components.
