en.Wedoany.com Reported - The CA05 module of China's Lufeng Nuclear Power Unit 2 commenced hoisting at 9:10 AM on June 17, 2026, and after 2 hours and 35 minutes of operation, was successfully positioned at 11:45 AM, with the entire hoisting process being smooth, orderly, safe, and controllable.
The CA05 module is a steel plate wall structure with dimensions of approximately 15.7 meters (length) × 13.3 meters (width) × 8 meters (height) and a total weight of 83.4 tons. Due to its irregular structure, susceptibility to deformation under stress, numerous steel bar interferences during placement, and high positioning accuracy requirements, the hoisting operation was challenging.
The Lufeng Nuclear Power Project, located in Shanwei City, Guangdong Province, plans to construct six million-kilowatt-class pressurized water reactor nuclear power units, with four units already approved. Among them, Units 5 and 6 adopt the "Hualong One" technology, with construction starting in 2022 and 2023 respectively; Units 1 and 2 adopt CAP1000 technology, approved by the State Council in August 2024, with the main project of Unit 2 officially commencing on December 22, 2025. The hoisting of the CA05 module marks a phased progress in the construction of the nuclear island main structure of Unit 2, following the completion of the CA04 module hoisting in March 2026.
To ensure the smooth positioning of the module, Lufeng Nuclear Power organized Shanghai Nuclear Engineering Research and Design Institute to coordinate all tasks: establishing a daily meeting system to dynamically coordinate and resolve various issues, comprehensively reviewing and implementing all prerequisites before hoisting, and optimizing and refining the hoisting plan to effectively ensure operational efficiency and accuracy. The successful hoisting and positioning of the CA05 module has laid a solid foundation for subsequent construction of the internal structure of the nuclear island reactor building.
