Liaoyuan DHR-400 heating demonstration proposal
Historical CNNC district-heating demonstration proposal in Liaoyuan, Jilin, named in Qian Tianlin’s CET2022 small modular reactor presentation. The DHR-400 design is rated at 400 MW thermal; a plant total and module count are not assigned. First concrete in 2022 and operation in 2024 were targets in that presentation, not proof of construction or operation. Present activity, parcel and intended operator are unverified. No relationship to an earlier Xudabao proposal or the unnamed 2018 Yantai heating agreement is assumed.
What this record says
Last verified 2026-10-13. This is a record review date, not proof of current activity. An announcement records the announcement, not necessarily the physical step it describes.
Site and deployment
Liaoyuan DHR-400 heating demonstration proposal is recorded at Liaoyuan DHR-400 demonstration location (undisclosed), Jilin, China. Operator: No operator is recorded. Vendor for a linked design: China National Nuclear Corporation. Stage: Announced. Location precision: undisclosed.
Capacity
This project is recorded as thermal only (no MWe). Module count is not recorded. Thermal output is not recorded on this project. The linked design record states 400 MWth (nameplate; basis unspecified) (module); that figure is not copied onto this project.
