The Hualong One is a Chinese Generation III pressurized water nuclear reactor design, jointly developed by the China General Nuclear Power Group (CGN) and the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC). The China General Nuclear Power Group's version of the design, and its export variant, is marketed as HPR1000. The design is sometimes mistakenly referred to in media as ACPR1000 or ACP1000, names that in fact belong to earlier, separate reactor design programs by CGN and CNNC. Unit 5 of the Fuqing Nuclear Power Plant in China became the first Hualong One reactor to enter commercial service, on 30 January 2021.
