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...
