The 340 tonne reactor weighs about 340tons and measures 4.5m in diameter and 12.2m in length.
The reactor has been manufactured at Doosan’s Changwon plant in the Republic of Korea and is expected to start commercial operation in 2013.
The nuclear power plant is jointly being developed by Westinghouse Electric in consortium with the Shaw Group, China’s State Nuclear Power Technology Corp and Sanmen Nuclear Power.
Previously, Westinghouse and Shaw Group had signed contracts to provide four AP1000 pressurized water reactors in China, two in Sanmen in Zhejiang and another pair in Haiyang in Shandong province.
The remaining three units are expected to come online in 2014 and 2015.
