Benefit from the increase in electricity demand and accelerate the nuclear power industry

Polaris Nuclear Power Grid News: With the acceleration of social development, China's power demand is strong, relying on outstanding competitiveness, nuclear energy is expected to become the main component of energy in the future. Nuclear power sector policy warm wind frequently blows, the Ministry of Environmental Protection recently discussed and passed the "Twelve Five-year Plan for nuclear safety and radioactive pollution prevention and control and the long-term goal of 2020 (draft for approval)". The growth rate of nuclear power plant construction is expected to accelerate gradually. Current high-level officials have publicly stated that China's policy of insisting on the development of nuclear power is unchanged, and the proportion of nuclear power in China’s energy power generation is expected to rise. It is expected that the advanced nuclear power system will be the most attractive and high-quality power source favored by power generation companies. Nuclear power equipment manufacturing will usher in long-term prosperity.

Policies to promote sustainable development of the nuclear power industry

As the certainty of nuclear power construction is currently increasing, the recently approved Nuclear Safety Plan puts forward specific proposals in the fields of nuclear power, research reactors, fuel circulation, nuclear technology utilization, nuclear safety equipment and technological progress, emergency response, and regulatory capacity building. Tasks and safeguards. As the guiding ideology and overall goal of the 12th Five-Year Plan for Nuclear Safety and Radioactive Pollution Prevention and Control and the 2020 Vision, the “Planning” emphasizes strengthening supervision, further improving the safety of nuclear facilities and nuclear technology, and promoting the safety of nuclear energy and nuclear technology utilization. Healthy and sustainable development. It is expected that the "Nuclear Power Safety Plan" and "Nuclear Power Mid- and Long-Term Development Plan" will be announced one after another in the first quarter of next year. Excluding the impact of this year's suspension of approval of the project, the 12th Five-Year Nuclear Power Construction will be reopened.

The promulgation and implementation of the "Nuclear Safety Plan" is a landmark event in the development of the nuclear power industry. Observing the sustainable development of the industry in the future is a great favorable policy. The implementation of nuclear safety standards will ensure that the future development of nuclear power can be achieved smoothly and efficiently. The National Development and Reform Commission recently stated that China’s determination to develop nuclear power will not change. China will further improve nuclear power development plans and ensure the continued development of nuclear power under safe conditions. After March next year, nuclear power may enter the track of recovery and development. China will be the world's largest nuclear power market in the future.

China Nuclear Power Industry Status

As of the end of 2010, 13 nuclear power units have been put into operation in China and 28 nuclear power units are under construction. It has been approved that the capacity under construction exceeds 34 GW, of which two units adopt the EPR third-generation technology route, four units adopt the third-generation AP1000 technical route, and the rest adopts the second-generation improved technology route, and construction and approval of site resources approved by the feasibility study have been started. With more than 70 GW, it is estimated that the installed capacity in 2015 will reach 40 GW and it will reach 70 GW in 2020.

The National Nuclear Safety Administration issued an operating license under the new operation and management model to CNNC Qinshan Nuclear Power Base on November 26, marking that China’s nuclear power will move forward again after the nuclear accident in Fukushima, Japan. At present, nuclear power projects under construction in China include the Liaoning Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Station, the Fujian Ningde Nuclear Power Station, and the Zhejiang Sanmen Nuclear Power Station, mostly in coastal areas. The planned nuclear power plants are dominated by inland areas. Prior to this, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, Henan, Sichuan, and Chongqing have all announced plans for nuclear power in the provinces and cities.
