CNNC floating SMR demonstration proposal (2016)
A 15 January 2016 CAEA-hosted account credited to Xinhua and CNNC reports CNNC's Nuclear Power Institute's plan to start building a floating demonstration reactor at the end of 2016 and operate it in 2019. The same account records ACP100S's inclusion in China's energy innovation plan and describes the ACP10S, ACP25S and ACP100S floating family. The specific demonstration configuration remains unassigned here; this described plant proposal is distinct from national plan inclusion and the land-based Linglong One project. The 2016 and 2019 dates are historical targets, not evidence of construction or operation. Host location, module count, plant output, operator, project permissions and subsequent status are not established by the reviewed account.
