Hualong No. 1 delivers good news again! CNNC Zhangzhou Nuclear Power Unit 3 nuclear island started.
On February 22, China's independent third-generation nuclear power Hualong No. 1, known as the "national business card", was once again reported as a success. Unit 3 of the Zhangzhou Nuclear Power Phase II Project of China Nuclear Power Investment Holdings, a subsidiary of China National Nuclear Corporation, poured the first tank of concrete (FCD) on the nuclear island, marking the prelude to the construction of the second phase of the Zhangzhou Nuclear Power Project.
The national business card "Hualong No. 1" is an important achievement of CNNC to accelerate the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement and the implementation of the national "double carbon" strategy. At present, Hualong No. 1 has become one of the most competitive third-generation nuclear power models in the world nuclear power market.
It is understood that each nuclear power unit of Hualong No. 1 generates more than 10 billion kWh of electricity per year, which can meet the annual production and living electricity demand of 1 million people in moderately developed countries; At the same time, it is equivalent to reducing standard coal consumption by 3.12 million tons and carbon dioxide emissions by 8.16 million tons per year, which is equivalent to planting more than 70 million trees.
At present, the first batch of 4 units of Hualong No. 1 have all been completed and put into operation, and the batch construction is progressing smoothly. Among them, the Zhangzhou Nuclear Power Project is the starting point of the batch construction of Hualong No. 1: Unit 1 is expected to be put into operation for power generation in 2024; Unit 2 is preparing for cold tests such as the installation of reactor internals.
