Cladding shielding module first product
On December 20, 2017, the hydrostatic test of the first product of the ITER project under the control of Dongfang Electric Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. ("Eastern Heavy Machinery") was successful , Which is an important milestone for the development of the key heavy equipment for nuclear fusion at Orient Heavy Industries and marks the world's top position in this field.
About ITER
The ITER Program is one of the largest and most influential international scientific cooperation projects in the world and it will take about 10 years to build and cost 5 billion U.S. dollars in 1998. The ITER device is A superconducting Tokemark that can generate large-scale nuclear fusion reactions. In January 2003, the State Council approved China's participation in the ITER program negotiations. After three years of negotiations, on May 24, 2006, with the approval of the State Council, representatives from the joint ITER negotiation group My government and the EU, India, Japan, South Korea, Russia and the United States jointly signed the ITER Program Agreement, which includes the world's major nuclear countries and major Asian countries, covering a population of nearly half of the world. China's participation in the ITER program is Based on the basic needs of energy in the long run.
China currently undertakes product development tasks in 12 major categories of procurement packages including magnet support systems, cladding shielding modules, gas injection systems and glow discharge cleaning systems, etc. The cladding shielding modules manufactured by TISCO are specifically designed for various types of ITER systems Products, belonging to the core of the neutron shielding and heat exchanger part.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of China's accession to the ITER program. Dongfang Electric successfully entered the new field of nuclear energy utilization and used China's intelligence to attract the attention of the industry and help China become the leader in the world's nuclear fusion technology.
