BEIJING: Construction of a nuclear heat transmission pipe network has started to further facilitate expansion of nuclear power-based heating projects to more areas nationwide, says its operator State Power Investment Corp (SPIC).

As the support facility of the third phase of the 900-megawatt nuclear power-based district heating project in Shandong province, the pipeline will connect Shandong province’s Yantai with Weihai with a 23km main transport pipe, it said.
