China's autonomous third-generation nuclear power technology sails: Hualong No. 1 passed the review

China's efforts to promote the unification of the nuclear power technology route have made milestone progress.

On August 21 and 22, China's own third-generation nuclear power technology brand "Hualong 1" passed an authoritative review at the national level in Beijing.

"Hualong I" has merged with China's two major nuclear power giants - China Nuclear Group and China General Nuclear Power Group's respective third-generation nuclear power technology, and combined the ACP1000 and ACPR1000+ into the same model.

Zhang Guobao, the former director of the National Energy Administration, once stated that before China’s nuclear power was the “National Card”, the technology of several countries was introduced. Each station was different. It would certainly be impossible for this to continue, and it must be unified.

Earlier, China has been trying to achieve the unification of the nuclear power technology route. The benefits of unifying technology are, first of all, that the processing factory can do it according to uniform technical requirements, which can significantly reduce costs. In addition, the unification of technologies and concerted efforts will also help Chinese companies to occupy a more favorable position in the international nuclear power competition.

“Exporting a nuclear power plant is equivalent to exporting 1 million Santana cars,” said Zhang Guobao. “We in China have developed to this stage. Apart from building nuclear power plants in China, we also want to go out and build nuclear power plants in other parts of the world. Said that South Korea built nuclear power plants in the UAE."

The aforementioned review panel expert group was led by the National Energy Administration and the National Nuclear Safety Administration. 43 academicians and experts participated in the review. The expert group stated that the maturity, safety, and economy of “Hualong-1” can meet the technical requirements of the third generation of nuclear power. The core technologies in the fields of design technology, equipment manufacturing, and operation and maintenance technologies have independent intellectual property rights, and are currently domestically exportable. The nuclear motor type. The expert group suggested starting the demonstration project as soon as possible.

Informed sources told the Xinhua News that the "Hualong 1" demonstration project may be applied to the Fujian Fuqing nuclear power project and the Guangxi Fangchenggang nuclear power project. At present, it is recognized at the national level. After the overall technical plan has been passed, the next major task is the construction plan.

On June 13 this year, President Xi Jinping presided over the sixth Central Financial and Economic Leadership Group Meeting to conduct a special study on China's energy security strategy; Premier Li Keqiang of the State Council presided over the first meeting of the new National Energy Commission on April 18, and adopted the “China Energy 2014-2020 Development Strategy Action Plan. The energy revolution has become the key word for China’s economy and society. The development of nuclear power in China has entered a critical period.

According to the two major nuclear power groups, in this context, China launched "Hualong I" autonomous third-generation nuclear power, which reflects the country's scientific and technological innovation strength and international competitiveness, and highlights China's confidence and determination to become a world nuclear power country.

"With 'Hualong 1', China's nuclear power will move from 'borrowing to sea' to 'building a ship out of the sea'." Wu Xinxiong, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission and director of the National Energy Administration, said at the review meeting, "As an important brand for China's nuclear power going out , 'Hualong 1' must participate in international competition in all aspects."

"'Hualong 1' carries the hope of the nation's nuclear power going out." At the review meeting, Liu Hua, chief engineer of nuclear safety at the Ministry of Environmental Protection said.

He Jing, chairman of China National Nuclear Power Corporation, said at the meeting that "Comprehensive security, technology and economic characteristics," "Hualong 1" compared with other technical routes in the world, there is a better international market prospects. China Guangdong Nuclear Power will promote the external output of Hualong No. 1 technology under the unified national deployment while promoting domestic demonstration projects.

The meeting proposed six requirements for "Hualong I":

First, to firmly follow the road of independent innovation of nuclear power, “Hualong 1” has adopted a combination of active and non-active safety design concepts, “177” reactor cores, and autonomous nuclear fuel components, all of which are major technological innovations.

The second is a good review of the pass.

The third is to absorb reasonable opinions, optimize and improve the design of “Hualong I” to ensure the safety goal of safety.

Fourth, we must pay close attention to the development of key equipment and promote the localization of equipment.

The fifth is to adhere to the road of integration.

Sixth, relying on "Hualong-1" to accelerate China's nuclear power "going out."

After the review meeting, China National Nuclear Corporation and China General Nuclear Power Group signed the “Hualong-1” technology integration agreement. (Li Yuequn)

Dispenser Mass Flow Meter

Sealand is a trustworthy manufacturer of CNG Dispenser Mass Flow Meter, LNG Dispenser Mass Flow Meter, LPG Dispenser Mass Flow Meter, ATEX, CE & IECEx approved.

With its high accuracy, wide rangeability and reliable performance, Sealand meter has been applied in many kinds of industries during the last 8 years. Unlike others who only focus on the measurement of liquid at normal pressure & temperature, Sealand has conquered the difficulty in the measurement under severe conditions, such as high pressure, high viscosity, high & low temperature.

Take CNG (compressed natural gas) for example. As the saying goes, the meter can measure anything else if it can measure CNG. It is quite hard to measure gas under high pressure. The sensor must be able to bear high pressure; in this way, the thickness of flow tube must be increased, so the transmitter shall be more sensitive to detect the signal; however, Sealand made it. Sealand's first model is specially designed for CNG dispenser, and now thousands of this model are put into use on the market.

Here are the pictures of Sealand Mass Flow Meter in Dispenser for your reference.
