Nuclear Organisations in China

(Updated September 2020)

Ministries and Commissions are at the top level under the State Council; Administrations and Bureaus are under these. The national utility companies are largely or wholly state-owned. As well as these high-level entities, there are specialist service companies with national scope, listed in the second section of this page. Below these are listed the owner companies relevant to each power plant or project.

Under the State Council, the top-level ministries, commissions, etc. relevant to nuclear power are: SASAC, MIIT (not listed here, see SASTIND), NDRC, MEP and to a minor extent, MOST.

National organisations and utilities

State-owned Assets Supervision & Administration Commission

The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) of the State Council was founded in 2003 to take over the responsibilities of the former State Economic and Trade Commission as investor of state-owned assets on behalf of the central government and in guiding state-owned enterprises' reform and management. It aims to speed up restructuring of state- owned economy and push forward reform of state-owned enterprises, as well as harvesting dividends from them. At the end of 2011, SASAC controlled 120 state enterprises with some $3700 billion in assets. These included the top two or three in each sector, which gives SASAC great political and economic power. SASAC has a major role in nuclear power expansion, along with the NDRC, and supervises CNNC and CGN. [Index]

State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence

The State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence (SASTIND) was set up by merger in 2008 under the Ministry for Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and supervises defence, aeronautics and nuclear energy. The CAEA is its nuclear arm, which complements the role of NEA under NDRC, and has a national Nuclear Emergency Office.

In 2014 SASTIND and the General Staff HQ of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) jointly set up a response team for nuclear emergencies. It is to respond to 'serious nuclear accidents in complicated circumstances’ where the relevant provincial nuclear emergency commission is insufficient. [Index]

National Development and Reform Commission

The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) is the macroeconomic management agency directly under the State Council. It has been finally responsible for assessment and approval of major projects, and is responsible for deciding which major nuclear power projects proceed, and when. However, the reforms early in 2008 mean SASAC is the primary body approving new projects, with formal approval from NDRC following. [Index]

China Atomic Energy Authority

Under the control of the State Administration for Science, Technology & Industry for National Defence (STASTIND), the China Atomic Energy Authority (CAEA) is responsible for planning and managing the peaceful use of nuclear energy and promoting international cooperation. Since being split from the old China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) in 1998, CAEA became the key body planning and managing civil nuclear energy and reviewing and approving feasibility studies for new plants. However, after the 2008 high-level changes its role was restricted to technical aspects nuclear fuel cycle and (with MOST) in the Gen IV international forum (GIF). It is responsible for the security of nuclear materials in collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), under the Ministry of Public Security, and for emergency response planning. It is also responsible for modifying Iran’s Arak heavy water reactor under the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. [Index]

National Energy Commission, National Energy Administration

In March 2008, a new National Energy Commission (NEC) was announced to replace the National Energy Leading Group, an advisory and coordination body directly under the State Council. It will draft a national energy development strategy complete with various programs and then monitor and implement its execution. At the same time the new National Energy Administration (NEA) was set up to strengthen government management of the energy sector and implement NEC policy. It is a second tier ministry under the NDRC and replaces the State Energy Bureau under NDRC, which had been ineffective. Its nine departments, including one planning nuclear and thermal power development, work to integrate NDRC's energy management functions, promote favoured forms of energy and encourage conservation. It is not clear how it relates to other national energy entities, but its first announcement was that nuclear energy should provide significantly more power by 2020 than previously planned. The NDRC-NEC-NEA arrangement is seen as a political compromise and alternative to an Energy Ministry with clearer authority. [Index]

National Nuclear Safety Administration

The National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA) was set up in 1984 under the CAEA and is the licensing and regulatory body which also maintains international agreements regarding safety and non-proliferation safeguards. While it already reported to the State Council directly, in January 2011, the State Council Research Office recommended: "The NNSA should be an entity directly under the State Council Bureau, making it an independent regulatory body with authority." It is administered by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE), and the head of the NNSA has the rank of Vice Minister of the MEE. In 2019 it comprised three departments of the MEE.

The MEE's Department of Nuclear Facility Safety Regulation (also called the Department for Nuclear and Radiation Safety Regulation of the NNSA) is responsible for "laws and regulations on nuclear and radiation safety" and to "monitor radiation environments and inspect local ecological and environmental departments over their management work of radiation environments; prepare for and respond to nuclear and radiation emergencies." Also to "administer the licensing, supervision and inspection of the design, manufacturing, installation and non-destructive test of civil nuclear safety equipment; coordinate the national nuclear and radiation safety regulatory assessment." It is also responsible for the "qualification and training of nuclear and radiation safety staff." It coodinates the MEE's three nuclear-related departments.

The MEE's Department of Nuclear Power Safety Regulation (also called Department II for Nuclear and Radiation Safety Regulation of the NNSA) is responsible for administering "the licensing of nuclear power plants, nuclear thermoelectric power plants, nuclear heat and steam generating devices, research reactors, ... and other nuclear facilities" and supervising "the nuclear safety, radiation safety and environmental protection of such facilities." It is also responsible for carrying out "China's role in implementing relevant international conventions."

The MEE's Department of Radiation Source Safety Regulation (also called Department III for Nuclear and Radiation Safety Regulation of the NNSA) administers "licensing for nuclear fuel cycle facilities, radioactive waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities, nuclear facility decommissioning projects, nuclear technology utilization projects, and the transportation of radioactive substances" and supervises the safety of all nuclear fuel cycle facilities including uranium mines.

The NNSA is responsible for safeguards materials accounting throughout the fuel cycle, and communicates with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in this regard. Analytical services for safeguards are provided by CNNC Beijing Research Institute of Uranium Geology (BRIUG).

A long-standing protocol on nuclear safety cooperation between the USA and China was revised to take account of the introduction of the AP1000 in January 2008 so that the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission provided support for safety regulations and standards for the AP1000 design, as well as providing training for NNSA personnel.

In May 2014 the NNSA signed an agreement on the regulation of nuclear power and radiation safety with the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency, including sharing best practices in licensing and oversight of civil nuclear facilities. The agreement also foresees cooperation on nuclear safety research and the development of international legal frameworks.

In December 2013 the NNSA with its Japanese and South Korean counterparts agreed to form a network to cooperate on nuclear safety and quickly exchange information in nuclear emergencies. In addition, the three countries agreed to share standard information such as safety plans. [Index]

Ministry of Ecology & Environment

The Ministry of Ecology & Environment (MEE) is directly under the State Council. It is responsible for environmental quality and protection including emissions reductions and nuclear and radiation safety. It is to "initate the formulation of key strategies as well as plans and policies tackling climate change and greenhouse gas emissions" and to represent China in the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change). Three of its departments comprise the NNSA.

A utility proposing a new plant submits feasibility studies to the CAEA, siting proposals to the NNSA and environmental studies to the MEE itself. The MEE until 2008 was the State Environment Protection Administration (SEPA) and then the Ministry for Environmental Protection until about 2018. [Index]

Ministry of Science & Technology

Planning for major nuclear energy research projects is the responsibility of the Ministry of Science & Technology (MOST). MOST is responsible for drafting the National Basic Research Program, the National High-tech R&D Program and the S&T Enabling Program. With CAEA it participates in the Gen IV International Forum (GIF). [Index]

China State Power Corporation

To end its monopoly, and separate generation from transmission, the CSPC was broken up in December 2002 into 11 smaller companies including five major generators – Datang, Guodian, Huadian, Huaneng and CPI – and two grid companies – State Grid Corporation and China Southern Power Grid Corporation. All these are described below. CSPC no longer exists. [Index]

China Nuclear Industry Alliance

In January 2014 CNNC, CGN, SNPTC and a number of supporting entities formed the China Nuclear Industry Alliance, or Union, as directed by the government to achieve some synergy and show apparent harmony. This is “an industry self-regulatory organization”, unincorporated, and designed to eliminate detrimental or unseemly competition in export markets. The NEA will be closely involved, and the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Commerce, SASAC and NNSA will keep closely in touch with it. [Index]

State Power Investment Corporation

The State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC) was launched in July 2015 as a merger of China Power Investment Corporation (CPI) and State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation (SNPTC). The company has total assets of CNY 1130 billion ($159 billion) and 130,000 employees. It has two listed subsidiaries in Hong Kong and five in mainland China. The business encompasses hydro, thermal and nuclear power, as well as wind and solar sources. The company also covers electricity, coal, aluminium production, logistics, finance and other sectors. SPIC has an installed generating capacity of 145 GWe, including 5 GWe internationally. By 2020 it expects to have 14 GWe nuclear in operation and 10 GWe under construction, with a complete nuclear supply chain. Annual sales are expected to exceed CNY 200 billion ($32 billion).

The merger plan was submitted by SNPTC to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) for approval  in July 2014. The merger was approved by the State Council in May 2015. Initially CPI took a 66% share of SNPTC through most of SASAC’s share being transferred to its subsidiary CPI Nuclear Power Co (CPIN). [Index]

State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation

The State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation (SNPTC) was set up in 2004 to take charge of technology selection for new plants being bid from overseas. This was through its Preparatory Office which draws expertise from other organizations such as CGN. SNPTC was directly under China's State Council and closely connected with it, being owned 70% by SASAC and with 10% of shares owned by each of CNNC, CPI, and CGN. Early in 2007, SNERDI (see below) was removed from CNNC control and assigned to SNPTC as an R&D arm, boosting its stature considerably.

Following the merger with CPI to form SPIC, SNPTC has taken over CPI’s nuclear-related business and assets – R&D, nuclear plant design, EPC, etc – and now functions as the nuclear power business platform of SPIC. It has total assets of over $15 billion, and is responsible for building the four AP1000 reactors and the CAP1400 project.

In 2015 SNPTC formed a joint venture with Zhejiang Zheneng Electric Power Co. to cooperate on nuclear power development in Zhejiang province. [Index]

China Power Investment Corporation

China Power Investment Corporation (CPI), was one of five state-owned power generation holding companies formed from the State Power Corporation in 2002 and inheriting all its nuclear capacity. It was a major power generator (controlling 54 GWe at the end of 2009, including only 1.35 GWe nuclear) and was the largest state-owned power holding company with nuclear assets. It is now merged with SNPTC to form SPI.

CPI owns 19 operating power plants above 1000 MWe each, a majority of Shandong Haiyang nuclear power project, 45% of the first phase of Liaoning Hongyanhe nuclear power project, and held minority shares in five nuclear power plants in operation, and three under construction. It was carrying out preparation for nuclear power projects in Guangxi, Liaoning, Hunan, Jilin and Chongqing. This is all now SPI, with the nuclear assets controlled by SNPTC.

CPI's wholly-owned subsidiary, CPI Development Corporation, was listed on the Hong Kong exchange in 2004. It also owns Shanghai Electric Power Co. Ltd, Shanxi Zhangze Electric Power Co. Ltd, Chongqing Jiulong Electric Power Co. Ltd, Jilin Electric Power Co. Ltd, and Wuling Electric Power Development Corporation. China Power International Holding Ltd. is registered in Hong Kong, through which CPI indirectly owns China Power Development Ltd. listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and China-Hong Kong Power Development Ltd. supplying power for Hong Kong. CPI also owns China Power Complete Equipment Company Ltd., supplying and servicing power equipment. [Index]

China National Nuclear Corporation

The China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) controls most nuclear sector business including R&D, engineering design, uranium exploration and mining, enrichment, fuel fabrication, reprocessing and waste disposal. It also claims to be the major investor in all nuclear plants in China. Established by the State Council in 1988 as a self-supporting economic entity, it "combines military production with civilian production, taking nuclear industry as the basis while developing nuclear power and promoting a diversified economy." It has numerous subsidiaries. CNNC designed and built Qinshan Phases I and II, and controls the full Qinshan power plant. It has a payroll of about 1,000,000 and owns shares in many of the nuclear power generation projects (see below). In particular it is a champion of local designs.

CNNC has a controlling interest in CNNC International (CNNC Int’l) which was listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange in 2003. Its immediate holding company is CNNC Overseas Uranium Holding Limited (CNNC Overseas, with 66.72% equity in it). This in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of China National Uranium Corporation Limited (CUC), under CNNC. See entries below. [Index]

China National Nuclear Power Co

In a restructure of CNNC at the end of 2011, China National Nuclear Power Co Ltd (CNNP), set up in 2008, became developer, owner and operator of existing plants having major CNNC ownership, with CNNC holding 97% equity in CNNP, and 3% China Three Georges Corporation, Cosco Group, and Aerospace Capital. Its focus is on management and operation of plants. In June 2012 it won approval from the environment ministry to raise about CNY 50 billion by an Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the Shanghai stock exchange, towards funding CNY 174 billion ($27.4 billion) construction of five nuclear power projects in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Hainan provinces. Approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission under the State Council was obtained in January 2013. After the public listing, CNNC’s stake would be lowered to 70%, Three Georges, Cosco and Aerospace would hold 0.73% each, the National Social Security Fund would hold a 2.49% stake, and the other 25% will be traded publicly. CNNP is the first nuclear operating company to be listed domestically (CGN Power Co is listed in Hong Kong).

In 2014 CNNP published a draft prospectus to sell 3.89 million new shares in its first IPO to help finance a number of units under construction, 1.17 billion of those shares being traded online. This was approved by the China Securities Regulatory Commission so that CNNP was listed on the Shanghai stock exchange in June 2015 on the basis of shares at CNY 3.39 raising CNY 13.19 billion ($2.12 billion). There was strong public interest so that only 1.6% of the registered purchase requests were fulfilled, and the shares jumped by 44% on the first day they were traded on the Shanghai exchange. Total market value was then CNY 78 billion. CNNP planned to spend CNY 7.05 billion from the share sale to increase the company’s liquidity, and use the balance to finance the construction of nine new units, including: Fuqing 2-4, Sanmen 1&2, Changjiang 1&2, and Tianwan 3&4. The balance of funding would be from loans.

CNNP is effectively a branch of CNNC, along with mining, enrichment, fuel fabrication, R&D, engineering, etc. In January 2016 it notified the Shanghai stock exchange that it intended to set up a subsidiary in the UK, as an investment platform for the company to expand its international business through investment, acquisitions, operation and technology service. [Index]

China General Nuclear Power Group

The China General Nuclear Power Group (CGN) plays a leading role in Guangdong province and now more widely, as reflected in its name change in May 2013 from China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group. It comprises some 20 companies with gross assets early in 2013 of CNY 269 billion ($43.7 billion) and generating capacity of 7200 MWe. The group is responsible for Daya Bay, Ling Ao, Yangjiang, Hongyanhe and Ningde power stations in Guangdong, as well as further projects in the province and outside it. CGNPC was established in 1994 and was 45% owned by the provincial government, 45% by CNNC and 10% by CPI. Despite its relative independence it was "under the supervision of" SASAC.

In September 2012, the State Council decreed that CGN should be reconstituted, with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) to hold 82%, Guangdong province only 10% and CNNC 8%. However, this change – particularly the transfer of 35% share from Guangdong province to SASAC – was not settled until late 2013 or early 2014. CGN headquarters was moved from Shenzhen to Beijing in 2014, though most of the staff are in Shenzhen.

CGN undertook to launch two initial public offerings (IPO) in Shanghai and Hong Kong in 2014 to raise some CNY 20 billion ($3.3 billion).

CGN Electric Power Ltd was set up in March 2014. The $2 billion Hong Kong IPO is being handled by China International Capital and Deutsche Bank. CGN's total assets are expected to grow to CNY 450 billion (US$73 million) in 2015, and CNY 1 trillion (US$162 million) by 2020, according to state media reports.

CGN Power Co was also set up in March 2014 with registered capital of CNY 39.5 ($6.36 billion) and 85.1% CGN equity, 10% Guangdong Hengjiang Investment Holding Co and 4.9% CNNC. It operates CGN’s nuclear plants. CGN Power undertook a $3.16 billion IPO in Hong Kong in November 2014 to raise funds for nuclear plant construction and to acquire an additional 41% share in the Taishan plant, mostly from CGN, taking its share to 51%. In September 2016 it bought CGN’s interest in Lufeng (100%) and Fangchenggang (61%) as well as in CGN Engineering (100%).

In mid-2014 the CGN European Energy Co (CGNEE) was set up in Paris as the CGN platform to expand business in Europe, particularly with renewable energy, and is aiming for 1 GWe of solar PV and wind power in Europe. It has bought some wind capacity from EDF.

CGN New Energy Holdings Co Ltd (formerly CGN Meiya Power Holdings and, before that, CGN Renewable Energy Holding Co Ltd.) is a division of CGN focused on non-nuclear power and a vehicle for CGN investment in overseas non-nuclear power projects. One major shareholder is China Southern Power Grid Co Ltd. An October 2014 IPO in Hong Kong raised HK$ 1.77 billion ($230 million). It is based in Hong Kong.

CGN will make its investment in the UK through a new company called General Nuclear International (GNI), set up in 2017 to manage CGN’s UK projects. CGN has also set up General Nuclear System Ltd to guide CGN's HPR1000 Hualong reactor technology through the British approval process, while Bradwell Power Corporation will be responsible for the 100% Chinese-built Bradwell B nuclear power plant.
