China Guangdong Nuclear Power Engineering Co. Ltd. has been established in Shenzhen, a boomtown in South China's Guangdong Province, to improve management over existing nuclear power plants and speed up construction of new ones in the province.

It is the first professional administrative company in China's nuclear power plant construction sector.

A spokesman for the China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group said the new engineering company was brought into being so that all resources of the conglomerate are made good use of. The conglomerate now operates four nuclear power generating units at Daya Bay and Ling'ao.

A corporate executive of the newly established company vowed they would work harder to make things ready to start construction of the second phase at Ling'ao Nuclear Power in late 2005.

In the meantime, the preparations for construction of a new nuclear power plant in Yangjiang have been carried out in a swift manner. It is expected that building of the new nuclear power plant will get started in 2007, said the corporate executive.

There are now four nuclear power plants operating in China. Besides Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant and Ling'ao Nuclear Power Plant, Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant is situated in east China's Zhejiang Province, and Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant is being built in Lianyungang City of Jiangsu Province. The four have a combined installed capacity up to 8.7 million kilowatts.
