On April 26, 2021, Jiang Yi, deputy secretary, general manager and director of the State Power Investment Corporation, investigated Shandong Nuclear Power and listened to related work reports. After listening to Shandong Nuclear Power’s report on the overall implementation of the Group’s strategy and implementation of key tasks deployed by the Group, Jiang Yi put forward five requirements for the follow-up work of Shandong Nuclear Power. He emphasized that nuclear safety should be given the top priority, based on the professionalism and particularity of nuclear power, to make every effort to ensure the safe operation of Units 1 and 2 as well as the second round of refueling overhaul work and the safety of subsequent project construction to ensure that nuclear safety is foolproof. It is necessary to promote the progress of follow-up projects, seize the opportunity, take the initiative, do a good job in various preparations, and actively promote the construction of follow-up projects. It is necessary to actively promote the development of comprehensive utilization of nuclear energy, focus on the safety of the second phase of nuclear power extraction and heating project construction at this stage, and give full play to the leading role of clean heating; grasp the main position of nuclear power development, play a bridge role in the development of integrated smart energy, and actively guide The professional team within the group explores markets and develops projects locally. It is necessary to build the group's nuclear energy talent development base, improve the station, give full play to the role of Shandong nuclear power training base and actual combat base, and do a good job of exporting talents to the group's other nuclear power projects. It is necessary to strengthen communication with local governments, strengthen communication with Shandong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, Yantai City and Haiyang City, and actively obtain local support to create a good environment and conditions for the long-term development of enterprises.

On the same day, the two generating units of the first phase of the SPIC Haiyang Nuclear Power Plant generated 50 billion kWh of electricity. Shandong Haiyang Nuclear Power Unit 1 and 2 has continued to maintain safe and stable operation since its commercial operation. The nuclear safety situation is good, and its operating performance is among the best in the world, which fully reflects the safety, economy and environmental friendliness of the third-generation passive nuclear power technology. Sex. On this basis, Haiyang Nuclear Power has taken the first step in the comprehensive utilization of nuclear energy in the country. It has pioneered the commercial use of nuclear energy in China and built the world’s first hydro-thermal simultaneous transmission practice project to help carbon peak and carbon neutrality with high-quality development. .

The performance is among the best in the world

Units 1 and 2 of the Haiyang Nuclear Power Phase I Project are the national third-generation nuclear power autonomous relying projects. They adopt advanced passive third-generation nuclear power technology with a single unit capacity of 1253MW. They were put into commercial operation in October 2018 and January 2019, respectively. A total of 50 billion kWh of electricity has been generated. According to the 2020 World Nuclear Power WANO Comprehensive Index Ranking published by the World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO), the average of the world’s 398 nuclear power units participating in the evaluation is 86.7 points, Haiyang Nuclear Power Unit 2 gets a perfect score of 100 points, and Unit 1 gets 99 points. Minute. The WANO indicator is an internationally-used indicator to measure the comprehensive performance of nuclear power plants in terms of power generation, operation, maintenance, and safety, and it directly reflects the overall operating performance of nuclear power plants. In the first quarter of 2021, the 14 evaluation indicators of Haiyang Nuclear Power Unit 1 and 2 WANO all reached excellent values.

Shandong Nuclear Power has always adhered to the supremacy of nuclear safety, persevering in promoting nuclear safety culture, continuing to build systems, investigating hidden dangers, focusing on implementation, and focusing on feedback to ensure the effective operation of the production system, and focus on safety, environmental protection, and epidemic prevention and control. We have completed the first refueling overhaul of the two units in a safe, high-quality, and efficient manner. The operating performance of the two fuel cycle cycles ranks among the top in the world.

"Carbon reduction" has significant benefits

Nuclear power is a safe, clean, and environmentally friendly energy utilization method. Since the two units of Haiyang Nuclear Power have been put into operation for two years, enterprises and the government have monitored the radiation levels around the nuclear power plant 24 hours a day. Compared with the background data, there is no change. Haiyang Nuclear Power’s 3,000-mu plant area is home to abundant wildlife such as "Pandas in Birds", Sinian crowfinch, white-headed bulbul, spotted thrush, northern red-tailed thrush, hoopoe, etc. There are often "bird waves" nearby. Every winter, migratory birds come to the Haiyang Nuclear Power Plant to roost.

Haiyang Nuclear Power’s “carbon reduction” benefit is significant. Since the first phase of the project was put into operation, the cumulative power generation has exceeded 50 billion kWh, 21.38 million tons of raw coal have been saved, 40 million tons of carbon dioxide, 130,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, and 113,000 tons of nitrogen oxides have been reduced, which is equivalent to About 110,000 hectares of broad-leaved forests are planted, which can cover 2.6 Mount Tai. It continues to exert good ecological and economic and social benefits, making green water and green mountains more beautiful, and Jinshan Yinshan bigger.

Open up a new runway for nuclear energy

On the basis of ensuring the safe and stable operation of the two units of Haiyang Nuclear Power, Shandong Nuclear Power has actively opened up a new runway for nuclear energy development and promoted the comprehensive utilization of nuclear energy in response to problems such as clean heating in northern my country and water shortages in northern coastal cities. Shandong Nuclear Power adheres to the five principles of “no increase in residential heating prices, no increase in government financial burdens, no damage to the interests of heating power companies, contributions from nuclear power business operations, and great improvement of ecological and environmental benefits” to promote nuclear power extraction and heating. In November 2019, the first phase of the 700,000 square meters of the Haiyang Nuclear Power Extraction and Heating Project was completed and put into use, achieving a zero breakthrough in domestic nuclear energy commercial heating. It was highly praised by residential users and was named "National Energy" by the National Energy Administration. Nuclear energy heating commercial demonstration project". The 4.5 million square meters project of the second phase project will be put into use this winter heating season, helping Haiyang to create the country's first zero-carbon heating city. After commissioning, each heating season is expected to save 100,000 tons of raw coal, reduce 180,000 tons of carbon dioxide, 691 tons of smoke and dust, 1,123 tons of nitrogen oxides, and 1,188 tons of sulfur dioxide, which is equivalent to planting 1,000 hectares of broad-leaved forest, and the thermal efficiency of the unit is increased by 3.25 %, reducing the heat emission to the environment by 1.3 million GJ.

With the construction of subsequent projects, Haiyang Nuclear Power plans to use nuclear power extraction steam heating combined with wind and solar storage to provide zero-carbon water supply and heating for the entire Jiaodong Peninsula; large-scale seawater desalination, water storage and heat storage, and hydrogen production are also accelerating research. The national "14th Five-Year" plan is clear and "demonstration of comprehensive utilization of nuclear energy such as Shandong Haiyang". Shandong Nuclear Power will resolutely implement the national strategic plan, strive to be the vanguard of green and low-carbon development of energy, safeguard nuclear safety, build quality projects, and sustain Promote the comprehensive utilization of nuclear energy, and strive to contribute clean electricity, zero-carbon warmth, pure water, and green hydrogen to the society, so as to help my country achieve carbon peaks and carbon neutrality at an early date.Editor/Xing Wentao、Design/Xia Changwang
