China kilowatt nuclear power has the export conditions

China owns independent intellectual property rights of second generation improved-kilowatt-class nuclear CP1000 technology, recently passed expert review. "This means that China kilowatt nuclear power technologies have export conditions. "China's first commercial nuclear power qinshan nuclear power station chief designer, nuclear power engineering specialist Yip dishonest, academician said.

In the nuclear energy industry association of China at the review, 42 nuclear experts agreed that domestic production of the second generation of improved nuclear security, maturity, affordability, and certain nature, further enhanced the Chinese nuclear power independent level, to achieve with independent intellectual property rights of kilowatt-class nuclear export, open up the international nuclear power market to create the basic conditions.

Yip dishonest said, CP1000 technology in France M310 nuclear power technology on the basis of digestion and absorption, implemented by "177 core" and "single heap layout" and "double containment" three major improvement as the representative of the 22 major improvements, the main equipment used for up to 80% to 85%.

Core is the heart of the entire nuclear power station. CP1000 reactor is the "core", 177 M310 "157 core." "Although the figures on only 20, undertake the work of research and Design Institute of nuclear power in China with more than 10 years of time to complete the core design. "Yip dishonest said, this technology enables power generation power increased by 5% to 10%, thereby improving efficiency. It also reduces the core of power density, which improves the safety of nuclear power stations.

He said, "a single heap layout" refers to CP1000 nuclear power technology to a building a nuclear power plant, which makes CP1000 in site selection, power demand, investment costs and other conditions, more flexibility and adaptability. While the "dual containment" refers to CP1000 nuclear technology in general the safety of nuclear power plants, and then create a new shell layer of security, two security shell design with negative pressure between. Therefore, even with radiation to pass through the first layer of security, nor to the second level of containment.

In addition, adopt CP1000 18-months, fuelled shutdown time of 30 days. While M310 nuclear power technology for material for a period of 12 months, fuelled shutdown time need 50 to 60 days. The design life of CP1000 60 years, but the design life of M310 40 years.

"Either from the local electricity needs, or capital cost estimates, the needs of developing countries are already mature, safety and economy of the second generation of improved nuclear power plant, even in such developed countries Japan, also in the construction of the second generation of improved nuclear power station. Market need. "Yip dishonest said.

He said, the research and development work on CP1000 is China's independent scientific research strength, with independent research and development platform, which meant CP1000 nuclear power technology to existing Foundation continues to improve, we continue to meet the new requirements, thereby further improving its security, and economics. "Korea nuclear electricity export to a large extent depended on its economic advantages, construction costs far less than other nuclear power developed countries. We also have the same advantages CP1000, CP1000 has a strong international competitiveness. ”
