What do these attributes mean for common use cases?

This is an attribute check, not a project recommendation. Site, grid, licensing, fuel, security and economics still need project-specific analysis.

Common questionWhat this design data says
Grid electricity?125 MWe electrical nameplate in the current design snapshot.
Useful heat?Yes — the design is presented here with heat-use potential.
Remote / isolated deployment?Not a primary small/remote scale signal.
Transportable system?No — this profile treats it as a fixed-site design.
Current programme phase?Under construction Under construction / commissioning tests

Programme status

Under construction / commissioning tests. Demonstration unit at Changjiang completed cold functional testing in October 2025.

Hainan Changjiang ACP100 demonstration project.

Status describes the programme at the verification date. It does not imply commercial availability, licensing in your jurisdiction, construction certainty or guaranteed schedule.

Closest designs by electrical output

These are the three nearest entries in the Nuclear Planner dataset on a ratio-based MWe scale. They are not claimed to be technical substitutes.

Further references

CNNC reported the primary-circuit cold functional test completed on 16 October 2025 and described hot functional testing, fuel loading and commercial operation as subsequent steps. The status remains under construction / commissioning tests until a later authoritative operating milestone is verified.

Verified 2026-09-28. If the programme has moved since then, use the linked source as the current authority.
