The National Nuclear Safety Administration approved on April 8 to review the site selection of the Xudabao Nuclear Power Plant in Huludao, which may mean that China's local nuclear power is about to usher in a period of acceleration. This is also the first similar site selection approval by the National Nuclear Safety Administration this year. All supporting documents for the feasibility study of the Xudabao nuclear power plant project have been obtained.
According to the process, after obtaining the approval of the plant site, the Xudabao Nuclear Power Plant will enter the stage of submitting it to the State Council for review. "Nuclear power has now been changed to a project approval system. Before the National Nuclear Safety Administration issues a construction permit, it must be submitted to the executive meeting of the State Council through the National Development and Reform Commission for approval." An insider of a Chinese nuclear power company who did not want to be named told a reporter from China Business News on the 14th.
The above-mentioned insiders went on to say that, generally speaking, the next day after the State Council approves, the National Nuclear Safety Administration can issue a construction permit to the project, and the investment unit can soon organize the project to officially start. Its start is marked by pouring the first tank of concrete from the nuclear power plant reactor.
According to the above-mentioned insiders, in addition to the Xudabao nuclear power project that has passed the site approval of the National Nuclear Safety Administration, there are currently 11 similar nuclear power projects in China that have not yet been approved by the National Nuclear Safety Administration. It is Lufeng Unit 1 and Unit 2, Haiyang Unit 3 and Unit 4, and Rongcheng Unit 1 and Unit 2. The owners of these three nuclear power projects are China General Nuclear Power, China Power Investment and State Nuclear Technology.
"After review, for the type and quantity of the proposed reactor, no problems with the site that cannot meet the relevant nuclear safety regulations have been found, and the site is acceptable. The project proposes to build two AP1000 pressurized water reactor nuclear power units." The National Nuclear Safety Administration stated in the "Xu Dabao Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 and Unit 2 Site Selection Review Opinion.
AP1000 technology, the third-generation nuclear power technology introduced by China from Westinghouse in 2006 through comprehensive technology transfer. According to our reporter, the technology has been used in the first phase of two nuclear power projects in Sanmen, Zhejiang and Haiyang, Shandong, with a total of four units. Sanmen Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 is the world's first AP1000.
The Xudabao nuclear power project is the first nuclear power project proposed by China National Nuclear Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "China National Nuclear Corporation") in Northeast China. It plans to build 6 million-kilowatt nuclear power units. The project was originally planned to start construction in 2010, but the Fukushima nuclear power accident in Japan in March 2011 delayed this time.
CNNC Liaoning Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. is fully responsible for the construction, commissioning, operation and management of the Xudabao nuclear power project. CNNC also owns 50% of the company's shares.
It is worth noting that the national energy work conference at the beginning of this year proposed that China "timely start the examination and approval of key nuclear power projects, steadily promote the construction of nuclear power in coastal areas, and do a good job in the protection of inland nuclear power plant sites." Industry experts told our reporter that this means that China will speed up the launch of nuclear power.
Unlike the Xudabao nuclear power project, the Rongcheng nuclear power project will use the CAP1400 technology independently developed by CNNC. This technology is based on the advanced technology of AP1000, through re-innovation and development to form a large-scale advanced pressurized water reactor nuclear power technology brand with China's independent intellectual property rights and greater power. It is also a sub-item of one of China's 16 major national science and technology projects ".
However, AP1000 is still questioned by some nuclear power experts in the industry. They said that there are many uncertainties in the technology of AP1000, which has led to the delay of its supporting project. "The AP1000 has difficulties, and the CAP1400's difficulties are even greater." A nuclear power expert who questioned the AP1000 told our reporter.
However, a number of AP1000 supporters and insiders told our reporter that the current difficulty of the technology lies in some temporary troubles in the construction of the project, mainly due to delays in the design of Westinghouse and the manufacture of EMD's main pump.
"in fact, the delay of nuclear power projects is a regular phenomenon, not because it is the second generation, but because it is the third generation." One of the insiders said. The person in the know pointed out that the AP1000 problems are far less than the skeptics said.
