BEIJING, May 19 (Xinhua) -- The circular belt of the dome of Unit 7 of Tianwan Nuclear Power Station (TNPS) was successfully hoisted into place on Friday in east China's Jiangsu Province, marking the unit's shift from the civil construction stage to the equipment installation stage.
Weighing 375.5 tons, the circular belt of the dome of TNPS Unit 7 was lifted using a 2,000-ton crawler crane. With an upper diameter of about 36.52 meters, a lower diameter of 44 meters, and a height of about 12.27meters, it is distributed with installation equipment of different specifications.

Upon completion, Unit 7&8 of TNPS will have an installed capacity of 9 million kW and will provide clean electricity of 70 billion kWh every year, which is equivalent to cutting carbon dioxide emissions by 57.40 million tons. (Edited by Jiang Feifan with Xinhua Silk Road, 346129473@qq.com)
