The advanced 1000MW PWR nuclear power technology is the innovation achievement of the third generation PWR nuclear power with completely independent intellectual property rights, the "national business card" for China nuclear power to go global, and the significant landmark achievement for China nuclear power innovation and development.
Significance of research and development
As the main brand of China nuclear power "going out", Hualong No.1 put forward the safety design concept of "active and passive combination", adopting 177 fuel assembly core, multiple redundant safety systems, single reactor layout and double containment.
The design principle of "defense in depth" has been comprehensively and evenly implemented, and perfect measures to prevent and mitigate major accidents have been established. Its safety index and technical performance have reached the advanced level of the third generation nuclear power technology in the world, and it has completely independent intellectual property rights.
Hualong No.1 embodies the wisdom and painstaking efforts of nuclear power builders in China, realizing the unity of advancement and maturity, the balance of safety and economy, and the combination of initiative and passivity. It has a comparative advantage in international competition, and is expected to fill the domestic technical gap in a short time, and has the conditions to participate in international bidding.
