Benefit from high temperature gas-cooled reactors in nuclear power market

Whether it is the restart of a new nuclear power project in China or the “going out” to promote the output of nuclear power technology equipment and power station design and construction capabilities, “safety and high efficiency” will become the primary criteria for China’s nuclear power development. This means that R&D and promotion of safe and highly efficient nuclear power technology processes with independent intellectual property rights will become the theme of China's future nuclear power development.

In recent years, China has been fully digesting and absorbing international advanced nuclear power technology, based on research and development designed to lead the world's fourth-generation nuclear power technology with independent intellectual property rights - high temperature gas-cooled reactor. The intrinsic characteristics of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor make it possible to avoid such major accidents like the core melting and radioactive release of the Fukushima nuclear accident. It was once recognized by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology experts that the nuclear power plant in the United States and the world in the 21st century has the most Heap type of development prospects. As the new nuclear power project is ready to restart, the first demonstration project of this technology was opened at the Huaneng Shidao Bay Nuclear Power Station in Rongcheng, Shandong, and the safety performance of nuclear power has also been greatly improved.

China's independent research and development of high-temperature gas-cooled reactor safety has received international certification. On January 5, 2015, China's high-temperature gas-cooled reactor fuel elements were tested in the Netherlands, and the indicators were better than similar components in other countries. Among them, the release rate of fission gas is maintained at the negative 9th power level of 10, which is far better than the design index. According to experts, “the radioactive material in the fuel ball will not harm public health in any case”. In addition, the fourth-generation high-temperature gas-cooled reactor power generation efficiency can reach more than 40%, compared with the 3rd generation of pressurized water reactor nuclear power generation efficiency of about 30%, economic advantages show greater advantages.

With the advancement of the Huaneng Shidao Bay project, there are currently countries such as Singapore, Switzerland, and Saudi Arabia that they are willing to purchase the technology from China after the successful construction of the HTR reactor. This means that under the principle of "safety and high efficiency" in the fourth-generation high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power technology, it will be possible for China to become a technology-exporting country from the introduction of nuclear power technology. In the future, following the national strategic driving force of “high-end equipment exports”, high-temperature gas-cooled reactors will go out of the country and will be a high probability event.

As one of the key equipments of high-temperature gas-cooled reactors, the main helium fan used for helium cooling is equivalent to the main pump of the traditional pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant. It is the core component of the cooling facility of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor and is a nuclear reactor. Important safety equipment in the primary loop system. Jiadian shares as the main unit of the main fan, its investment value is obvious.
