List of nuclear power plants in Asia

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list of nuclear power plants contains all nuclear power plants in Asia that are used for the commercial generation of electrical energy . It not only lists the power plants currently in operation, but also those that have been shut down and those that are currently under construction. (Planned nuclear power plants and those whose construction has finally been stopped, research reactors , interim storage facilities and repositories as well as reprocessing plants are listed in the list of nuclear facilities .)

An overview of all nuclear power plants worldwide can be found under List of Nuclear Power Plants .

Many of the nuclear power plants listed here are located in earthquake-prone areas. More details can be found in the article Pacific Ring of Fire .

Asia

The first reactor block commissioned in Asia (on October 26, 1963) was the Japan Power Demonstration Reactor (JPDR). The Tarapur 1 reactor block in India is the oldest still in use; it was put into operation on November 16, 1969. The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant in Japan is the most powerful with its seven reactor blocks and an installed gross output of 8,212 MW. The most powerful reactor block is Taishan 1  in China with a gross output of 1,750 MW.

Armenia

In Armenia there is a nuclear power plant with one reactor block with a net output of 375 MW. A second reactor block at the same location with a net output of 376 MW was shut down. The government decided in 2014 to build a new nuclear power plant with a net output of 1,060 MW.

In 2017, nuclear energy accounted for almost 34 percent of total electricity generation in Armenia.

China

48 reactor blocks are currently in operation at 16 locations in the People's Republic of China , and 10 more reactor blocks are under construction. The first commercially used reactor block went into operation in 1991. In 2017, nuclear energy in China accounted for around 4 percent of total electricity generation. All data were taken from the Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) of the IAEA (as of January 16, 2020):

Iran

In Iran , the Bushehr nuclear power plant has been on the grid since September 3, 2011 . It provides around 1.5 percent of total Iranian electricity production ( see also: Iranian nuclear program ).

Japan

In Japan there are 17 nuclear power plants with 54 reactor blocks and a total installed capacity of 49,112 MW. Two further reactor blocks with a total gross output of 2,756 MW are under construction, six with a total gross output of 2,004 MW have already been decommissioned.

The Japan Power Demonstration Reactor (JPDR) was commissioned on October 26, 1963 as the first nuclear reactor in Asia. The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant , with its seven reactor blocks and an installed gross output of 8,212 MW, is the most powerful in Japan and also the most powerful in the world. With a gross output of 1356 MW each, units 6 & 7 of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa power plant are currently the most powerful. In the aftermath of the Tōhoku earthquake on March 11, 2011, several nuclear power plants had to be shut down and a series of accidents that had continued to date occurred at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant . The first events in Block 1 were provisionally assigned to level INES 4 by the Japanese nuclear regulatory authority on March 12, 2011 . Further events, in which experts believe that there was at least partial core meltdowns in units 1, 2 and 3, was rated INES 6 on March 15 by the French nuclear safety authority, Autorité de sûreté nucléaire (ASN) . In the meantime, INES level 7 has been set for these events.

Under Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda , the restructuring of the energy sector ( energy transition ) and the long-term phase-out of nuclear energy by the year 2040 began.

Before the Fukushima catastrophe in Japan, nuclear energy accounted for 30 percent of total electricity generation and was the third largest annual electricity generation from nuclear energy worldwide. In 2012, the share of nuclear energy was two percent.

Philippines

The Bataan Nuclear Power Plant, built from 1976 to 1986 under dictator Ferdinand Marcos with a pressurized water reactor by Westinghouse with 621 MW, was not put into operation due to the takeover of government by Corazon Aquino and under the impact of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster . By 1984, the cost had risen from the original $ 500 million for two blocks to $ 2.3 billion for one block.

South Korea

Currently, 23 reactor blocks are operated at 4 locations in South Korea , 5 further reactor blocks are under construction, 2 have already been decommissioned. The first commercially used reactor block went into operation in 1977. All data were taken from the Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) of the IAEA (as of February 2019):

Taiwan

According to the 2012 World Report, nuclear energy had a share of 18 percent of total electricity generation in Taiwan . A total of four reactor blocks are currently in operation at two locations in Taiwan , and two reactor blocks have already been decommissioned at one location. The first commercially used reactor block went into operation in 1978. All data were taken from the Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) of the IAEA (as of November 2018):
