On September 19, 2021, the first tank of concrete was poured on the raft base slab of the conventional island steam turbine generator plant of the Tianwan Nuclear Power Unit 7 of China National Nuclear Corporation, one month ahead of schedule, the official start of the conventional island was realized, which marked the construction of Unit 7 The prelude is fully opened.

Units 7 and 8 of Tianwan Nuclear Power Station and Units 3 and 4 of Xudabao Nuclear Power Station are important projects in the package of cooperation agreements in the nuclear energy field witnessed by the heads of state of China and Russia in June 2018. On May 19, 2021, President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin jointly witnessed the groundbreaking ceremony of Tianwan Nuclear Power Unit 7 and 8 of the nuclear power cooperation project between the two countries.

At present, the construction of Tianwan Nuclear Power’s No. 7 nuclear island is progressing smoothly. The raft foundation construction of each main plant is basically completed, and the construction of the superstructure is in progress. The localization rate of conventional island equipment is expected to reach 99.6%.

Tianwan Nuclear Power attaches great importance to and actively implements the spirit of General Secretary Jinping’s important speech at the start ceremony of the Sino-Russian nuclear energy cooperation project. The whole process of unit construction establishes the awareness of benchmark quality, adheres to the benchmark quality standards, and implements the benchmark quality requirements. By setting excellence goals, injecting forward action, and promoting high-quality development, it effectively establishes a new global benchmark image in the field of nuclear safety and is committed to the Tianwan nuclear power base To build a world-class nuclear energy multi-reactor comprehensive utilization industrial cluster and multi-energy complementary zero-carbon demonstration energy base, to achieve "carbon peak and carbon neutrality" and to contribute to the deepening of the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Russia in the new era. Chinese nuclear power!

It is understood that after Tianwan Nuclear Power Units 7 and 8 are completed and put into operation, the total installed capacity will exceed 9 million kilowatts, which can provide more than 70 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity each year, which is equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 15.34 million tons per year, which will strongly promote Jiangsu Province. The adjustment of industrial structure and energy structure will support the East China Power Grid and regional energy supply security. Editor/He Yuting
