The accelerated development of the nuclear power field is inevitable for the accumulation of technology to a certain extent, and it is also affected by the external environment of the energy crisis caused by frequent extreme weather and geopolitical conflicts. From the perspective of energy efficiency, nuclear power can provide efficient and clean energy supply; from the perspective of cost, the comprehensive cost, utilization efficiency and unit life of nuclear power have significant advantages, but it also faces complex problems such as high construction costs, long construction cycle, power station aging management, high-level waste disposal and low public acceptance. It is difficult to properly solve the problem by the industry itself alone, and it requires strong policy support and huge capital injection.
nuclear power unit is huge and complex. A million-kilowatt nuclear power unit has more than 300 systems and nearly 100,000 sets of device components. Its life cycle is long from site selection, design, construction, installation, debugging, operation and even life extension in the early stage of construction, plus retirement processing, the entire life cycle is long and requires extremely high-level equipment to ensure safe operation.
nuclear power project has a huge driving effect on investment and is an important tool to promote new infrastructure. Taking my country's Hualong No. 1 nuclear power unit as an example, its construction can drive thousands of enterprises in the upstream and downstream industrial chain of . It is estimated that the investment amount of a single nuclear power unit is 20 billion yuan. If the construction of my country's nuclear power field is steadily promoted by 6-8 units per year, it will bring an average annual market space of more than 100 billion yuan, and related equipment manufacturing and construction companies in the industrial chain will benefit steadily.
nuclear energy industry is a typical heavy asset operation industry due to its special nature, and construction and development are highly dependent on national investment promotion. In particular, the safe and stable operation of nuclear power units cannot be separated from the security guarantee of the entire industrial chain, and the main theme of the accelerated development of the nuclear energy industry is still "safe and safe". However, this field is not completely closed, and there is still a window for social capital to enter. Sanao Nuclear Power approved in 2020 is the first nuclear power construction project in China to introduce private capital.
At present, the roadmap for continuous innovation in the nuclear energy industry is clear. With the maturity of technology and the confirmation of safety, nuclear energy application is no longer limited to the field of nuclear power, and it plays a role in the fields of non-electric comprehensive utilization such as hydrogen production, seawater desalination, and regional heating. The industry generally recognizes that the nuclear energy industry will make breakthroughs in advanced nuclear fuel and recycling, fourth-generation nuclear power units, small reactor technology, marine nuclear power platforms, space nuclear power supplies, etc.
nuclear energy regional heating development prospects are widely promising. According to the calculation that the Hongyanhe nuclear power heating project, which has been officially put into operation, can reduce emissions of 414,100 tons of carbon dioxide per year. If several nuclear power projects in northern my country implement the combined supply of heat and power, it will be a great help to achieve the "dual carbon" goal.
