Lungmen (Fourth Nuclear Plant) Location: Taiwan Operator: Taiwan Power Co Configuration: 2 X 1,355 MW ABWR Operation: 2011-2012 Reactor supplier: GE, Hitachi, Toshiba T/G supplier: MHI, Melco EPC: S&W, New Asia Construction Quick facts: In 1982, CE was selected to build the Fourth NPP, but slowing load growth pushed the project off, through the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 until reactor bids were finally called for in Jan 1993. In May 1996, a GE-led consortium won an $1.8bn contract for two ABWRs modeled on Kashiwazaki-Kariwa 6&7. Authorization to proceed was in Sep 1996 and in Oct, a budget of $5.5bn was approved for the plant. Excavation stared in Jan 1998, final permits were issued in Mar 1999, and first concrete was placed in Apr 1999. In Oct 2000, a new government and the Executive Yuan announced its decision to cancel the plant and construction was halted until political negotiations allowed the project to restart in Feb 2001. The 15wk stand-down resulted in a full-year delay in expected completion and the scheduled has slipped more since then. Photo dated Mar 2006.
