Another nuclear facility the usage of Hualong One technology, a regionally advanced 1/3–technology reactor design, become efficiently linked to the energy grid in southeast China’s Fujian Province on the primary day of the brand new year.
On connection, Unit No.6 of the Fuqing Nuclear Power Plant of the China National Nuclear Corp. commenced to generate strength at 10:35 p.m. on Saturday, turning into China’s 2nd and the world’s 1/3 Hualong One reactor to reap grid connection, the agency stated.
All its technical signs have met the designed requirements and the energy unit is walking well, laying a stable basis for its next industrial operation, the agency showed on the site.
The first nuclear reactor that makes use of Hualong One technology – Unit No.five of the Fuqing Nuclear Power Plant – commenced industrial operation in January remaining year, and is able to producing approximately 10 billion kilowatts hour (kWh) of strength in keeping with year.
The six gadgets on the nuclear energy plant blended can offer 50 billion kWh of strength, reducing forty million tonnes of carbon dioxide emission every year, Fuqing Nuclear Power Plant widespread supervisor Zhao Hao advised China Media Group (CMG).
Four Hualong One gadgets, together with the 2 in Fujian Province and in south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, are anticipated to be linked to the country wide energy grid through the stop of 2022, in line with the agency. The agency has additionally commenced creation of extra Hualong gadgets on the Zhangzhou Nuclear Power Plant, additionally in Fujian Province, and the primary of gadgets on the Taipingling Nuclear Power Plant in southern Guangdong Province.
Globally, the primary Hualong One reactor out of doors of China, in Pakistan’s Karachi Nuclear Power Plant, has been providing strength to an anticipated four million families withinside the usa considering the fact that May 25, 2021, Zhao Lidong, the leader challenge supervisor for Hualong One’s foreign places reactor, stated in an interview with CMG. Fuqing’s Unit No.6 will go through numerous tests, together with 168 hours of full-energy, non-stop operation, earlier than industrial operations later this year, Zhao Hao stated.
