Will Changde build a nuclear power plant?
After China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group (CGNPC) won the Dafan nuclear power project in Xianning, Hubei Province, CGNPC inland nuclear power project also made new progress. From May 26th to 27th, Hunan Changde Nuclear Power Preliminary Feasibility Study Report passed the review. Insiders of CGNPC told reporters that the review reduced the site selection of nuclear power plant projects from four to two. "This indicates that the feasibility study report of the project will be officially launched. On the other hand, after the evaluation results of the National Electric Power Planning and Design Institute came out, China Radio and Television Association submitted a proposal for Hunan Changde Nuclear Power Project to the National Development and Reform Commission. " The planned installed capacity of Changde nuclear power project is four million kilowatt PWR nuclear power units, with a total investment of about 48 billion yuan, which will be planned and constructed in stages. The insider said: "The project originally had four pre-selection points: Chenjiatan, Shawan, Wangjiaao and Magpie Ridge. Now it has been decided to give priority to Chenjiatan in Xinnongjie Township and Magpie Ridge in Zheng Jiayi Township." Changde nuclear power project is just one of the four nuclear power projects under construction in Hunan. Hunan's ardent expectation for nuclear power has a long history. After the new millennium, Hunan, located in the middle of China, has obviously encountered an energy bottleneck. According to the statistics of Hunan Provincial Bureau of Statistics, during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, Hunan's electricity consumption increased by 30 billion to 40 billion kWh, and the installed capacity reached1000 ~130,000 kW. However, Hunan has less coal reserves, poor coal quality and great difficulty in mining. The annual output of coal enterprises in the province is about 50 million tons, and the coal available for power generation is only 6.5438+0.2 million tons, which is far from meeting the demand for electric coal. By the end of 2005, the installed capacity of hydropower resources reached 7.9 million kilowatts, accounting for 80% of the economically exploitable capacity. As early as the two sessions in 2005, the Hunan delegation called on the state to incorporate Hunan nuclear power projects into the nuclear power development plans of inland provinces. "Hunan lacks resources and energy such as coal and electricity. To fundamentally solve the problem of insufficient power supply, nuclear power must be developed. " The voice of the Hunan delegation is very firm. Hunan's natural conditions are also very suitable for the construction of nuclear power plants. Since China Power Investment Corporation and Hunan Provincial Government signed a letter of intent to develop nuclear power in September 2003, China's three nuclear giants, China National Nuclear Corporation and China Guangdong Nuclear Power Corporation, have all settled in Hunan Happy Valley. Even Datang Group, which lacks experience and qualification in nuclear power construction, has joined the enclosure craze of Hunan nuclear power. At the same time, Hubei and Jiangxi, which are also located in the middle, are short of coal and electricity, and are determined to build the first inland nuclear power plant in China, each with only one nuclear power project. "The location of several projects in Hunan is very good. From the professional point of view of developing nuclear power, several projects will eventually start construction. " Insiders of CGNPC explained the enthusiasm of nuclear power enterprises to invest in Hunan. Changde nuclear power plant is not only the only nuclear power project in Hunan, but also the one that started late among the four major nuclear power projects in Hunan. The project of Taojiang County in Yiyang of CNNC passed the examination and approval of the National Development and Reform Commission on February 1, and the preliminary feasibility study report of Yueyang Huarong Project and Datang Hunan Huayin Nuclear Power Station jointly built by China Power Investment Corporation and Wuling Company was also reviewed. However, from a national perspective, the acceleration of the Changde project in Hunan has gradually given CGNPC an advantage in inland nuclear power plants. China Power Investment Corporation has always been the frontier of inland nuclear power field. In 2003, China Power Investment Corporation took the lead in entering the field of nuclear power in Hunan. According to insiders, Hubei nuclear power project was first operated by China Power Investment Corporation. But in March of this year, the project was handed over to CGNPC. Now, in addition to occupying a province in Jiangxi, China Power Investment Corporation also has Huarong Project in Hunan. The insider said that although the project started early, it "almost stopped" recently. The Hunan project of CNNC is the first of the three enterprises to get the approval from the National Development and Reform Commission, but other provinces in its inland nuclear power map are still blank. In contrast, Hubei, which has been in the bag, and Changde, Hunan, which has been actively promoted, seem to enrich the inland nuclear power feast of CGNPC. Inland nuclear power bottleneck. The enclosure of inland nuclear power plants is vigorous, but the insiders believe that it is difficult for the first batch of inland nuclear power plants to be completed and put into operation in a short time. In May this year, CNNC Press and Publicity Center said: The first unit of Yiyang Taojiang County Project is scheduled to start construction at the beginning of 20 10, and it is expected to be completed and put into operation in 20 15. According to the internal data of CGNPC, Hunan Changde Project 1 and Unit 2 plan to start negative excavation of nuclear island in April 2009, and Unit 1 is expected to pour the first tank of concrete in February 20 10. It is estimated that the commercial operation will start in June of 20 14, and the construction interval between Unit 2 and Unit 1 will be 8 months. It is expected to start commercial operation in June 20 15. It is also reported that Hubei Xianning Dafan nuclear power project will be officially started on July 1 day this year, and it is expected to be completed in 20 12. Xue Xinmin, an associate researcher at the Energy Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission and deputy director of the Nuclear Energy Economic Professional Committee, judged: "Inland nuclear power plants will be built in 20 14 at the earliest, and it will take several years to actually put into production." It is reported that the second generation technology is widely used in China's nuclear power plants, and the second generation technology is also used in Ling 'ao nuclear power plant. The third generation technology is also being actively introduced. In 2003, China started bidding for the third generation nuclear power technology. In June 5438+February 2006, the Chinese and American governments signed a memorandum of understanding on the technology transfer of the third generation advanced PWR. In July, 2007, National Nuclear Power Technology Corporation and Westinghouse signed the third-generation nuclear power independent projects in Beijing, including two projects in Sanmen, Zhejiang and Haiyang, Shandong, and four AP 1000 units will be introduced, and the first unit will be established in Sanmen, Zhejiang on 20 13. "The main reason why inland nuclear power plants cannot be built in the near future is that it will take time for China to introduce, absorb and mature the third-generation nuclear power technology." Xue Xinmin said that the country has decided to adopt the third generation nuclear power technology for inland nuclear power plants, which is not mature in the United States. It is estimated that the third generation technology will not be put into use until 20 13. After one or two years of operation, it is possible for China to master the third generation nuclear power generation technology.
