Daqing NHR-200 nuclear heating plant (1990s)
Historical heat-only proposal. A 200 MWt NHR-200 demonstration heating plant for Daqing was decided in 1991; its siting report, environmental assessment and feasibility study were approved in 1993 and its preliminary safety and environmental licence documents later passed review. The plant was not built; no formal cancellation record was found.
