Energy Bureau: timely start of nuclear power key project approval.
Release time:
2014-02-08

For China's nuclear power projects that have been waiting in line for a long time, the recently issued "2014 Energy work guidance" has undoubtedly injected them with a "cardiotonic". In the document, the National Energy Administration clearly stated that 8.64 million kilowatts of nuclear power will be installed in 2014, the approval of key nuclear power projects will be initiated in due course, nuclear power construction in coastal areas will be steadily promoted, and inland nuclear power plant sites will be protected.
From the perspective of industry insiders, this means that coastal nuclear power construction will be further accelerated in 2014, while inland nuclear power will still be difficult to break the ice. To reach the installed capacity target of 50 million kilowatts in 2017, at least 4 million units will be started in 2014. For kilowatt-level projects, based on the current comprehensive cost of domestic million-kilowatt nuclear power units of 15 billion yuan, the investment will reach 60 billion yuan.
Since the cautious restart of China's nuclear power at the end of 2012, China's nuclear power construction began to gradually "thaw" in 2013. Tianwan Nuclear Power Phase II Unit 1 became the first new nuclear power project approved by the State Council after the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan. Three units including No. 4, Yangjiang No. 4, and Shandong Shidao Bay High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor Nuclear Power Plant Demonstration Project have also started construction. At the same time, Taishan nuclear power, Guangxi Fangchenggang and other projects under construction have also entered the peak period of commissioning and equipment installation.
It is understood that China currently has 17 commercial nuclear power units with an installed capacity of 14.74 million kilowatts; a total of 29 nuclear power units under construction with an installed capacity of 31.66 million kilowatts are expected to be put into production around 2015; and according to the State Council on September 10, 2013 The "Air Pollution Action Plan" issued by China, by 2017, China's installed capacity of operating nuclear electric motors will reach 50 million kilowatts, and the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption will increase to 13%. Considering that the construction period of nuclear power is usually about 50 months, if the approval is not accelerated, there is still a gap of 4 million kilowatts of installed capacity in the emission reduction target.
In this case, different from the conservative attitude in the first half of 2013, the policy level in the second half of 2013 began to release signals to promote the accelerated development of nuclear power. During the reorganization of the National Energy Administration, the original nuclear power office was upgraded to the Nuclear Power Department. After that, the new director Wu Xinxiong conducted intensive research and emphasized the safe and efficient development of nuclear power.
These positive signals were finally confirmed in the recently issued 2014 Energy Work Guidance. The document proposes the safe and efficient development of nuclear power. In 2014, the new nuclear power installed capacity of 8.64 million kilowatts. In order to achieve this goal, the National Energy Administration will initiate the approval of key nuclear power projects in due course, steadily promote nuclear power construction in coastal areas, and protect nuclear power plant sites in inland areas. At the same time, accelerate the promotion of domestic independent technology research and development and engineering verification, focus on the construction of major scientific and technological special demonstration projects for large-scale advanced pressurized water reactors and high-temperature gas-cooled reactors, accelerate the demonstration of integration technology, and avoid repeated construction of multiple reactor types. Formulate an overall strategic plan for the development of nuclear fuel technology to ensure the safe, efficient and sustainable development of nuclear power.
Wu Xinxiong, director of the State Energy Administration, said at the previous national energy work conference that the current three-generation nuclear power technology routes determined by the state are AP1000 and CAP1400. 3% of the AP1000 design has not yet been solidified and is expected to mature by June. The follow-up nuclear power start-up work is to develop the coast first. The CAP1400 preliminary design plan has also passed the review recently, and the relevant supporting tests and key equipment development have been fully launched.
