Shenyang 2 x 200 MW nuclear heating project (NHR200-I, 2001)
Historical heat-only proposal. INET's NHR200 page states that the Shenyang 2 x 200 MW nuclear heating project received state approval of its project proposal in April 2001; no later construction or licensing evidence was found in the regulator's 2018 to 2026 document lists, and earlier lists were not read. The site within Shenyang and the project's final disposition are not established, and the record rests on a single developer source. Two 200 MWt heating reactors are the described configuration; no plant total is stored. The NHR-200 heating reactor design is documented in IAEA-TECDOC-965 among small reactor designs (the document behind the Daqing NHR-200 record), and INET describes its successor NHR200-II as a small modular reactor; that documented design identity, with the named host city and dated state approval, is the historical basis for inclusion. No design profile is linked because INET's page describes the NHR200 family without a profile document.
