Hualong One in KANUPP 2/3 ?
editAlthough the two newer units at KANUPP are labelled as Hualong One in press articles
- https://www.neimagazine.com/news/newspakistan-launches-unit-3-at-karachi-npp-10577061
- https://world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/Karachi-3-receives-operating-licence
the PRIS database says that Units 2 and 3 of the Karachi Nuclear Power Plant are designated as ACP-1000 and not as HPR1000. The latter is the model name for Fuqing 5, which was the first Hualong One unit built on the Chinese Mainland, and for all the following Hualong reactors.
If we look at the history of reactor series developed in China, cf. CNP / ACP nuclear reactors, the ACP-1000 was an advanced version of the CNNC development, which merged with the ACPR-1000 from CGN into the shared Hualong One design. Taking into account that the construction of KANUPP-2 began almost simultanously as FUQING-5, and the complexity of international reactor deals, I would raise the swag, that PRIS is right, and the press labelling of the two new units in Karachi as Hualong One is following a marketing campaign which cannot hold out against scientific scrutiny. --Gunnar (talk) 16:22, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
