Engineers and researchers of Nuclear Power Institute of China in Chengdu, southwest China's Sichuan Province, have worked for years to develop China's own fuel assembly of commercial nuclear power plants. On Oct. 27, 2019, the first batch of 20 groups of CF3 fuel assemblies with independent...
The Chinese government is planning to build inland nuclear power plants in the next phase of nuclear power expansion in the country through 2020. Upon releasing a blueprint on nuclear power development during China's 13th 5-year plan period (2016-2020), Wang Yiren, vice chairman of China Atom...
The United States currently has one nuclear reactor under construction, the fourth reactor at the Vogtle power plant in Georgia, which will be able to generate just over 1 gigawatt. (For the sake of comparison, a gigawatt is about enough to power a mid-sized city.) "China is the de...
Nuclear power plants mainly rely on nuclear fission to release energy, heat water into steam and drive steam turbines to generate electricity. Additionally, the steam can not only be used for power generation, but also be applied in industrial production, said Liu Yongsheng, maintenance general man...
Power Institute of China. Since his graduation from Chengdu University of Science and Technology (now Sichuan University) majoring in chemical engineering in 1986, Zhong has been engaged in reactor structure design and participated in the R&D of more than half of China's nuclear power plants. (...
China last year launched three new nuclear power plants in the provinces of Shandong, Fujian and Guangdong, which marked the end of a moratorium on new projects. China's nuclear association said the country will build six to eight nuclear reactors a year between 2020 an...
"China is building 17 new nuclear power plants as of the end of 2020," said Zhang Tingke, head of the association. "And the estimated capacity is 18.53 million kilowatts." During China's 13th Five-Year Plan period from 2016 to 2020, the country built 20 new nuclear power...
It estimates that the value of investments in new nuclear power plants will hit 231 billion yuan by 2025. Nuclear power is seen as a carbon-free low-cost alternative in China's energy transition, and its role has become increasing...
China has been uninterruptedly building nuclear power plants for four decades, consistently delivering nuclear power services on time and on budget, which is one of a kind in the world. Hualong One is a third-generation nuclear power technology for which China has fully independent intellectual pro...
