High-temperature Gas-cooled Reactor Demonstration Project 

The High-temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR) Demonstration Project was officially launched following the State Council’s approval in February 2008 of the overall plan for its implementation. The goal of the project is to build a 200 MWe-level modular commercial demonstration plant with domestically developed technologies and Gen IV nuclear safety features, based on the 10 MWt experimental HTGR operated by the Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology at Tsinghua University. In March 2004, the China Huaneng Group, the China Nuclear Engineering & Construction Corporation, and Tsinghua University signed a framework agreement to cooperate in implementing a project on HTGR demonstration. On December 9, 2012, the demonstration project was launched in Shidao Bay, Shandong Province. By mid-2021, the engineering construction as well as cold and hot functional tests have been completed. 

高溫氣冷堆核電站示范工程 

2008年 2月，國務院批準了《高溫氣冷堆核電站重大專項總體實施方案》，高溫氣冷堆重大專項正式啟動實施。該項目目標是以清華大學核研院已運行的 10MWt高溫氣冷實驗堆為基礎，建成具有四代核安全特征的自主知識產權的 200MWe級模塊式商業化示范核電站。2004年 3月，中國華能集團、中國核工業建設集團、清華大學簽署合作建設高溫氣冷堆核電站示范工程的框架協議， 2012年 12月 9日，示范工程在山東石島灣開工建設。到 2021年年中，示范工程已經完成工程建設以及裝料前的全部冷態、熱態調試試驗。
