Recently, the reporter learned from the '6th International Clean Energy Forum' that there is still room for greater development of nuclear power in our country and is expected to rank among the first-tier nuclear power plants in the latest wave of nuclear power fluctuations in the world. Industrial Development Report "pointed out that the development of the previous volatility is also the old and the new historical window period. 'The current global nuclear power industry is in the third cycle, nuclear power technology is gradually changing echelon, Russia, South Korea's nuclear power technology in the global market is still With higher recognition, China has also begun to enter the UK nuclear power market.
It is understood that the nuclear power industry has gone through two cycles of development. The first round of nuclear power in the former Soviet Union, the United States and the United Kingdom has led the world and constitutes the first echelon of nuclear power development. In the second round of the cycle, the nuclear power plants in Britain, the United States and other countries The changes in energy supply and demand and the anti-nuclear wave led to the stagnation of nuclear power development. Japan, France and South Korea have insisted on developing nuclear power due to lack of energy resources and entered the first tier of nuclear power development.
'At present, the first echelon is undoubtedly a nuclear power country, and China currently looks at the status quo of installed capacity and going out and is only a nuclear power country,' said one participating industry expert.
In response to this reporter, Xu Yuming, deputy director of the expert committee of the China Nuclear Energy Industry Association, also said that from a nuclear power technology point of view, China is now the second tier in the world and does not belong to the first tier. "In some aspects, we have the international standard , Such as building capacity, because China has not interrupted for 30 consecutive years, but overall, is chasing the first echelon.
In recent years, VVER, the third generation of Russian nuclear power technology, has won orders for more than 30 nuclear power units in more than 10 countries with lower costs, thanks to its entry into the competitive nuclear power market, After obtaining the UAE nuclear power project in 2009, it has been exploiting the market and recently harvested the UK's new nuclear power project. It is noteworthy that the three generations of nuclear power technologies VVER-1200 and ARP1400 in Russia and South Korea have achieved grid-connected power generation locally.
At present, the demonstration project of China's Hualong-1, the third-generation nuclear power generation, is under construction and the first overseas Pakistani Karachi project is under construction. In addition, a key step toward investing in new nuclear power projects in the United Kingdom - the Bavewell B Nuclear Power Project Will use the 'Hualong One' technology.China and Argentina 'Hualong One' signed a contract to establish Argentina's fourth nuclear power station, while the other autonomous third generation nuclear power generation, although not yet under construction, has already begun to emerge in the international nuclear power market , Its market development in South Africa, Turkey, Bulgaria and the United Kingdom is also advancing.
In the process of moving to the first tier, China's nuclear power also has its own advantages and characteristics and has drawn great attention from the world's nuclear power community.
According to the 2017 Global Nuclear Energy Industry Development Report, from the current overall progress of construction, it is estimated that 5 units will be put into operation by 2018 in China, including Tianwan Nuclear Power No. 3, Sanmen Nuclear Power No. 1, Haiyang Nuclear Power No. 1, Taishan 1, Shidao Bay high temperature gas-cooled reactor .At that time, China will become the country that has the third generation of nuclear power generating units and the third generation of nuclear power generating units for the first time to achieve commercial operation .From the perspective of global nuclear power construction, China is the third generation nuclear power project construction unit The most types, the fastest construction of the country.
"What is puzzling is that there is no data on newly-started nuclear power projects in China in 2017, and we really want to know why." According to Mycle Schneider, an international independent consultant on French energy and nuclear power policies, China has been in the forefront of world nuclear energy development over the past 15 years However, the reduction or even postponement of newly-built nuclear power projects in the past two years has had a certain impact on the revival of the world nuclear energy industry.
Xu Yuming pointed out that the "13th Five-Year Plan" is a crucial period for the development of nuclear power in China, and that China's nuclear power will shift from "second-generation" nuclear technology to "third-generation" nuclear power technology in the past. The path of technological innovation will also be From introducing the principle of digestion and absorption in the past, the Company has focused its efforts on independent innovation and focused on building the core competitiveness of the nuclear power industry. "Through the 13th Five-Year Plan, the technological level and innovation capability of China's nuclear power industry will be greatly enhanced and initially realized From nuclear power to nuclear power transformation. 'Xu Yuming said.
Most of the industry experts participating in the above conference are skeptical about the 2020 goal of "carrying 58 million 10 million units under construction and 30 million kilowatts installed capacity under construction."
'The projects to be approved in 2017 have not been approved for various reasons. I think these factors will be eliminated in 2018, so we will certainly approve new projects and may approve 4, 5 or even 10. As for how many Xu Yuming told reporters, 'completed in 2020 5800 kilowatts should be no problem, but to achieve the construction of 30 million kilowatts, it is estimated a little overhang.'
Xu Yuming revealed that the main new types of nuclear power to be built during the 13th FYP include Hualong-1, CAP1000, CAP1400, fast reactors, high-temperature gas-cooled reactors, and small heaps. The initially identified Hualong-1 project includes the second phase of Fujian Ningde Nuclear Power Co., , Zhangzhou in Fujian Province and Huizhou in Guangdong Province. The projects identified by CAP1000 include Phase II of Haiyang, Xu Dabo Nuclear Power of Liaoning Province, Guangdong Donglufeng Nuclear Power Plant and Sanmen Phase II, etc. In addition, CAP1400 demonstration project of Shidao Bay, Fujian Xiapu Rapid Stack Demonstration Project, ACP100 small heap project in Changjiang, Hainan, 600,000 kilowatts of commercial high temperature gas-cooled reactor project will be opened.
