It represents an investment of 120 billion yuan (about 17 billion U.S. dollars). The first phase of the nuclear power plant will employ domestically designed third-generation technology, with each unit having a capacity of 1.25 million kilowatts. "Once the two units in the first phrase are put into operation, the plant will generate 20 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. This will cut standard coal consumption by around six million tons and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 16 million tons, with the carbon dioxide reduction equivalent to the planting of 44,000 hectares of broad-leaf forest," said Cai Hongtai, chief commander of the SPIC Bailong nuclear power plant project.
