CGN starts main construction of unit 4 at Zhejiang Sanao nuclear project

China General Nuclear Power Group began pouring the first concrete for the nuclear island of unit 4 at its Zhejiang Sanao nuclear power project on Tuesday, marking the official start of the unit’s main construction and moving the project’s second phase into full build-out. The first concrete pour is the conventional marker for the start of a reactor unit’s main works.

The first-concrete milestone matters less as a single reactor event than as a pacing signal: it pushes Sanao's second phase into full build-out, implying multiple units now advancing in parallel rather than sequentially. That cadence is what shapes the project's future capacity additions and the supply chain's order visibility. The open question is whether this parallel build-out holds schedule through the equipment and construction phases where nuclear projects typically slip.
