Guangxi Bailong Nuclear Power Project (simplified, traditional, pinyin: Guǎngxī bái lóng hédiàn xiàngmù) is a nuclear power plant proposed in Fangchenggang, near Bailong Village, autonomous region of Guangxi (Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region) in China. A total of six reactors are planned to operate at the Bailong site. Units 1 and 2 are both CAP1000s, units 3–6 are planned to be based on CAP1400 reactors. The plant is located about 24 kilometres from the border with Vietnam, about 30 km (19 mi) from Fangchenggang Nuclear Power Plant. The signing ceremony for the construction of the first phase was held in Nanning in July 2006 with construction expected to commence in 2008. Total project cost was estimated at 390 billion yuan, or about US$61.1 billion at the 2021 exchange rate. Excavation work for the first unit began in November 2024. The first pair of reactors are expected to cost 40 billion yuan (US$5.6 billion) and take 56 months to construct. Construction of the first unit began in December 2025.
