　　Haiyang nuclear power project is mainly invested, constructed and operated by the State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the "SNPTC"), adopts the AP1000 nuclear power technology introduced from Westinghouse Electric Company of the United States, and is one of China’s third-generation nuclear power self-reliance program supporting projects. Since the project started construction in September 2009, it has always adhered to the principle of "safety first, quality first," solved various problems in the process of equipment manufacturing and construction, and achieved substantial progress. The successful construction of the Haiyang nuclear power project is an important result of the development of the third-generation nuclear power in China.

　　During the construction of the unit, the National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA) independently supervised the entire process, and reviewed the final safety analysis report and conducted full-time supervision of the site. The results of the review and supervision show that AP1000 nuclear power technology meets the requirements of China's nuclear safety regulations and standards, and the construction quality of Haiyang NPP Unit 1 is under control and meets the design safety goals. Haiyang NPP Unit 1's design, equipment, construction, commissioning, production preparation have met the requirements and is ready for the first fuel loading.

　　SNPTC will comply with the "Nuclear Safety Law," implement NNSA's regulatory requirements, adhere to the principle of "safety first, quality first" to ensure the safe fuel loading and testing and the smooth commercial operation of the unit.
