The national "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" outlines that by 2020, the installed capacity of nuclear power operation in China will reach 58 million kilowatts, and it will reach more than 30 million kilowatts under construction. In order to achieve the above objectives, the 13th Five-Year Plan outlines in "Major Energy Development Projects" that a number of new coastal nuclear power projects should be started.
While the coal industry continues to decline, Shenhua Group is striving to build itself into a "world-class clean energy supplier". Nuclear energy is one of the means for the Group to achieve this goal. It will "actively strive for nuclear power licenses by participating in the construction of nuclear power projects, seek cooperation opportunities for research and development, manufacturing and demonstration projects of small reactors, and realize the reserve of nuclear energy technical talents".
Shenhua Group is cooperating with them on a new nuclear reactor technology. This technology is the fourth generation nuclear power technology-traveling wave reactor. Traveling wave reactor is almost the same as fast reactor in principle. The experimental fast reactor technology independently developed by CNNC has realized grid-connected power generation in 20 1 1 year. Therefore, it is necessary for Shenhua Group to seek cooperation from CNNC.
Compared with other reactors, fast reactor has two advantages: it can improve the utilization rate of natural uranium resources from about 1% to 60%; Minimization of radioactive waste can be achieved. Cnnc believes that this technology has great development prospects in the future.
Shenhua Group also found Bill, the founder of Microsoft and the founder and chairman of Tara Energy. Gates cooperates. Because traveling wave reactor is used in nuclear power plants to generate electricity, is it Bill? Gates' latest ideal at present. In order to promote traveling wave reactor, by Bill? The "Tara Power Plant" project proposed by Gates and funded by Microsoft has invested tens of millions of dollars in research and development, and it is estimated that it will need to invest about 5 billion dollars in the future.
2015165438+1October 12, Bill? Gates visited Shenhua Group as the founder and chairman of Tara Energy Company. "The two sides had in-depth exchanges and discussions on how to cooperate in the field of nuclear energy in a warm and friendly atmosphere." Shenhua Group said that entering the field of nuclear power is its next development direction and long-term development strategy, and it is willing to carry out in-depth cooperation with China National Nuclear Corporation and Tara Energy Company in the field of nuclear energy.
With regard to nuclear medicine, a piece of information provided by CNNC to the reporter of China Business News at the beginning of the year shows that the nuclear technology application industries of CNNC mainly include nuclear medicine, industrial radioactive sources and irradiation stations. In the future, the application of nuclear technology in nuclear medicine and other fields will further develop. Medicine is an important field in which nuclear technology is widely used. Nuclear medicine has become an important method to solve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, tumors, ulcers, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases. In medical isotopes, that is, nuclear medicine, CNNC accounts for more than 70% of the national market.
Wan Gang, president of China Institute of Atomic Energy, found that nuclear medicine plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of frequently-occurring and major diseases, but to popularize and develop nuclear medicine, talents, equipment and radiopharmaceuticals are needed for diagnosis and treatment.
Sun Qin, chairman of CNNC, said recently that CNNC has certain characteristics and advantages in the field of radiopharmaceuticals, while most countries along the Belt and Road are still in the initial stage in the field of nuclear technology application. He said that in the face of a huge market of about 4 trillion yuan, it is necessary for China enterprises to lay out in advance.
