(ECNS) -- Hanzhong City in Northwest China's Shaanxi Province has denied rumors that the city has plans to build a nuclear power station, local media reported.

The Development and Reform Commission of Hanzhong, the city's top economic planner, said in a statement on its official website that there's no such program in the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020).

It also called on residents not to trust or spread the rumor.

Located in southwestern Shaanxi province, Hanzhong is the birthplace of the Han Dynasty (206 BC–220 AD) and the source of the biggest tributary of the Yangtze River.

Two other cities in the province, Ankang and Shangluo, also denied having any plans to build nuclear power stations.

China has 30 nuclear power generating units with a capacity of 28 million GW and another 24 units under construction, Xinhua reported in January.
