The Yangjiang Nuclear Power Station (YNPS; simplified Chinese: 阳江核电站; traditional Chinese: 陽冮核電站; pinyin: Yángjiāng Hédiànzhàn) is a nuclear power plant in Guangdong province, China. The site is Dongping Town, Yangjiang City in western Guangdong Province.[8] The station has six 1,000 megawatt (MW) CPR-1000 pressurized water reactors (PWRs).[9] The plant began commercial operation in March 2014, and as of 2019 is the largest nuclear power station in China.[citation needed]
