[Five Years of Striving, New Business Card of China] Stand at 30! China’s nuclear power is thick and thin.

[Five years of hard work, China’s new business card]
On the afternoon of May 25th, it was sunny and windy, at the site of the world’s first demonstration project of "Hualong No.1" in Fuqing City, Fujian Province, a huge crawler crane slowly lifted the hemispherical dome weighing 340 tons off the ground. After full adjustment, the dome like a crown was successfully installed in the 45-meter-high reactor building, successfully completing the world-famous "adult ceremony" of China’s third-generation independent nuclear power "Hualong No.1", which marked China’s direction.
In 2013, China National Nuclear Corporation’s ACP1000 and China Guangdong Nuclear Power Corporation’s ACP 1000+technologies were merged. In just five years, China’s third-generation nuclear power brand "Hualong No.1" with complete independent intellectual property rights went to the world smoothly from design scheme to ground construction.
"Hualong No.1": Carrying China’s "Nuclear Power Dream"
Thirty years ago, when France and Britain jointly built China’s first large-scale commercial nuclear power plant with a capacity of one million kilowatts, China had to import floor tiles, telephone lines and cement from abroad. Now, China has begun to export "Hualong No.1" to the old nuclear power Britain.
"China nuclear power is ‘ Standing at thirty ’ 。” Yu Peigen, deputy general manager of China National Nuclear Corporation, said, "Since the Qinshan Nuclear Power Station designed by China started construction in 1985, the development of nuclear power in China has changed with each passing day, especially in the last five years, and a complete nuclear industry chain has been formed."
Yu Peigen introduced that the equipment localization rate of "Hualong No.1" can now reach more than 85%, and the core equipment such as reactor pressure vessels, steam generators and internals have been successfully made in China, representing the advanced level of China’s equipment manufacturing industry. The suppliers of "Hualong No.1" are distributed all over the country, involving more than 5,300 sets, totaling more than 60,000 sets.
“‘ Hualong No.1 ’ With complete independent intellectual property rights, it has obtained more than 700 patents and more than 100 software copyrights, bearing the ‘ Nuclear Power Dream ’ 。” Wang Shoujun, chairman and party secretary of CNNC, said.
"internet plus" and "integrated innovation" are two major characteristics of independent innovation of "Hualong No.1", which also fully embodies China’s institutional advantages. Xing Ji, chief designer of "Hualong No.1" of China National Nuclear Corporation, said: "‘ Hualong No.1 ’ The research and development of ‘ involves 75 universities, scientific research institutions and many equipment manufacturers in China, so & lsquo; Internet plus & rsquo; Mode, establish a comprehensive collaborative design platform, make full use of technologies such as Internet, data encryption, simulation and virtual reality, and thousands of designers from all over the country participate in collaborative innovation, which also makes China’s nuclear power industry move towards a new stage of digitalization, and all parties work together to ensure ‘ Hualong No.1 ’ The construction period of the world’s first demonstration project has broken the practice that the world’s first nuclear power reactor must be delayed. "
Advantage of latecomer: adopting the highest safety standards in the world.
Safety is the soul of developing independent nuclear power in China. Taking "Hualong No.1" as an example, Xing Ji introduced: "As China’s independent intellectual property rights, the third generation of nuclear power technology started in Fuqing first ‘ Hualong No.1 ’ The first demonstration project in the world is to show its ‘ 177 fuel assembly cores ’ ‘ Multiple Redundant Security System ’ And ‘ Safety measures combining initiative and passivity ’ And other advanced technologies are safe and reliable. "
"China nuclear power has ‘ Late-comer advantage ’ In other words, China nuclear power plant adopts mature technologies that have been tested in practice, which reduces the risks of nuclear power plant in construction period and quality. " Ye Qiqi, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, told the reporter: "For example ‘ Hualong No.1 ’ In terms of safety, it has reached the new nuclear safety goals and requirements put forward by the National Nuclear Safety Administration after the Fukushima accident in Japan, met the highest international requirements, and can resist the impact of commercial large aircraft and resist the magnitude 9 earthquake. "
Indeed, in the past five years, China has changed from a chaser of nuclear power to a leader. Chen Guocai, deputy general manager of Fujian Fuqing Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. of China National Nuclear Corporation, introduced that the third generation nuclear power represented by "Hualong No.1" adopted the world’s highest safety requirements and the latest technical standards to meet the safety requirements of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Going global, China’s nuclear power is ready.
In order to make China’s nuclear power go global, in 2016, Hualong International Nuclear Power Technology Co., Ltd., jointly funded by China National Nuclear Corporation and China General Nuclear Power Group Co., Ltd., was formally established, promoting "Hualong No.1" to become the main brand of China’s independent third-generation nuclear power technology "going global".
"At present, Fuqing’s ‘ Hualong No.1 ’ The world’s first reactor has progressed smoothly, ‘ Hualong No.1 ’ The first overseas reactor of Pakistan Karachi Nuclear Power Unit 2 started construction on August 20, 2015; In 2016, Unit 3 of Karachi Nuclear Power has also started. In addition to Pakistan, CNNC also signed an agreement with Argentina Nuclear Power Company, and plans to start construction of a million kilowatt-class ‘ Hualong No.1 ’ Pressurized water reactor nuclear power unit. The main project of the British hinkley Point C project invested and built by the Chinese side has also officially started. " Yu Peigen introduced that China has reached cooperation intentions with nearly 20 countries, "going global, China’s nuclear power is ready".
"We will now ‘ Hualong No.1 ’ Technical problems encountered in the construction process are summarized in time to form big data, which is ‘ Hualong No.1 ’ The standardized design and batch construction of nuclear power projects laid a technical foundation. " Xing Ji said that this will promote the batch construction of "Hualong No.1" in China and its landing in more countries and regions.
It is understood that in 2016, China and Saudi Arabia signed the Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation of Saudi High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor Project. This indicates that the fourth-generation nuclear power "high temperature gas cooled reactor" project independently developed by China has also achieved the first breakthrough of "going out".
