What is "Hualong One"?
"Hualong No. 1" is a million-kilowatt-level "third-generation pressurized water reactor nuclear power technology" independently developed and designed by my country. It adopts the "ACP1000" nuclear power technology with China's completely independent intellectual property rights. The 177 reactor cores are larger than the previous 157 The core volume is larger. What does this increase in area of
bring? Just like the radiator in our house, the temperature of the house will increase with each additional slice, so the increase of the core volume will of course increase the power generation efficiency of Hualong No. 1 and also increase the core capacity. Controllability and reduce the risk of accidents. How much power can
"Hualong One" provide? Since
is a nuclear power equipment, many people are concerned about how much convenience the "Hualong One" can bring us. According to official data, after a unit of "Hualong One" is successfully connected to the grid, it can at least meet the electricity demand of a medium-sized city in my country. At the same time, it can reduce annual coal consumption by 5.3 million tons and reduce 13 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
It is reported that these environmental protection data are equivalent to planting 260 million trees for the world every year, covering one-fifth of Beijing, nearly 3 million mu. This means that "Hualong No. 1" not only allowed my country to make great breakthroughs in the third-generation nuclear power technology, and had a "new business card" to the world, but also represented China and made a contribution to the global environmental protection cause. Contribution. How about the safety factor of
"Hualong One"?
In addition to the convenience that the "Hualong One" can bring to us, many people are also worried about whether the safety of the facility is guaranteed. After all, something similar to the leakage of the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan is something that everyone does not want to see again.
Learning from history, my country has fully considered this factor when designing and developing the "Hualong One", and its safety performance has reached the highest international standards. Even if there is an emergency, the equipment can complete its independence within 72 hours. Control and completely eliminate any internal leakage risk.
At the same time, the "Hualong One" also adopted a "double-layer containment" outer shell design. Needless to say, it came from the impact of a passenger plane or other aerial targets. Even if terrorists install explosives on it, it cannot threaten the reactor. The safety of the nuclear power plant can definitely be called the safest third-generation nuclear power plant in the world.
