Tianwan is humungous:
5 big reactors and 5070 MWe in operation
1 of 1080 MWe under construction
2 more with 2228 MWe about to start construction
= 8378 MWe
That would make it the biggest nuclear plant in the world and top 5 of any kind, after giant hydro plants. https://twitter.com/w_nuclear_news/status/1303907311870791680

When they're all operating the plant will produce about 66 TWh each year – enough for 16.5 million people at China's average consumption of about 4000 kWh per year.
And it will run until 2067-2085 at least.
Gives some perspective on China's ambitions for the century.
And it fits on one little bit of land...
