Recently, the first AP1000 nuclear fuel component production line in China successfully produced 64 sets of refueling fuel assemblies in the first furnace. The indicators of the components met the technical requirements and provided the guarantee for the subsequent safe and stable operation of the three nuclear power plants. This is the complete realization of AP1000 fuel assemblies by CNNC. Nationalization of the national strategic objectives of the concrete embodiment.
The production line of AP1000 nuclear fuel component undertakes the important task of realizing the localization strategy of AP1000 fuel assembly. The production line started construction on March 28, 2012; the qualification of production line was completed in October 2016; and on January 14, 2017, Signed a refueling package procurement contract with Sanmen Nuclear Power, obtained the qualification certificate of production line issued by Westinghouse on January 19, and formally put into production on June 16, and produced the first domestic AP1000 refueling fuel assembly on July 14 According to the contract, the production line will provide domesticized nuclear fuel assemblies for batch 2, 3, 4 fuel cycle of Unit 1 and Unit 2 of Sanmen Nuclear Power Plant.
