A completed nuclear power plant will actually be able to supply electricity to nearby areas during its trial run period. During the commissioning period, it will be able to produce 0.7 gigawatt hours of electricity per hour (6000 gigawatts per year).
Wear. This capacity accounts for 27.2% of the annual household electricity consumption in Gyeongsangbuk-do. When the new Haneul No. 2 unit begins commercial operation in the first half of next year, it will last 40 to 60 years.
It is expected to produce approximately 10,000 gigawatts of electricity each year over the next three years.
