China News Service, Fuzhou, February 20 (Reporter Long Min) China National Nuclear Corporation Fujian Fuqing Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. said on the 19th that at 20:45 on the 19th, the world's third and China's second Hualong No. 1 - China National Nuclear Corporation Fuqing Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. Unit 6 reached 100% full power operation for the first time, and all parameters were normal, laying a solid foundation for China's independent third-generation nuclear power Hualong No. 1 demonstration project to be fully put into commercial operation.
As a "national business card" for China's nuclear power to go global, Hualong No. 1 is a major achievement in China's nuclear power development, and it is also one of the third-generation nuclear power models with the highest acceptance in the current nuclear power market.
Hualong No. 1 is a nuclear power innovation achievement of the third-generation pressurized water reactor with completely independent intellectual property rights developed and designed by China National Nuclear Corporation on the basis of more than 30 years of experience in nuclear power research, design, construction, operation and management. It meets the highest international safety standards and is fully equipped for batch production. building capacity.
At present, the world's first Fuqing Nuclear Power Unit 5 of Hualong 1 and the first overseas unit of Pakistan Karachi 2 have been put into commercial operation in 2021.
On February 1, the general contract for the Hualong No. 1 nuclear power project in Argentina was signed.
Each Hualong No. 1 unit has an installed capacity of 1.161 million kilowatts and an annual power generation capacity of nearly 10 billion kWh, which can meet the annual production and living electricity demand of a population of 1 million in moderately developed countries, equivalent to reducing the consumption of standard coal by 3.12 million tons and carbon dioxide every year. The emission of 8.16 million tons is equivalent to planting more than 70 million trees, which is of great significance to optimizing China's energy structure, promoting green and low-carbon development, and helping to achieve the goal of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality".
Since the first fuel loading of Fuqing Nuclear Power Unit 6, the joint team composed of Fuqing Nuclear Power and China Nuclear Engineering has been working continuously to ensure the safe and high-quality commissioning work. It has completed various commissioning tests under various power platforms successively, and the performance of the unit meets the design requirements.
