我国核电进入大规模建设高峰期

Core Insights - China's nuclear power industry is entering a peak period of large-scale construction, with 31 units having received construction permits and 13 units awaiting approval, indicating a construction scale higher than the total of all other countries combined [1] Group 1: Current Status of Nuclear Power in China - As of now, China has 58 operational nuclear power units with a total installed capacity of 60.96 million kilowatts, and 44 units under construction with a capacity of 52.35 million kilowatts, making it the largest in the world [1] - The "China Nuclear Energy Development Report (2025)" indicates that by the end of 2024, China's installed capacity under construction will maintain the global lead for 18 consecutive years, with expectations to become the world's largest operational nuclear power capacity by 2030 [1] Group 2: Challenges Facing the Nuclear Power Industry - The industry faces challenges with advanced fourth-generation reactors, such as high-temperature gas-cooled reactors, which lack international experience, and issues related to technological maturity, operational stability, and economic competitiveness [2] - There is a need for collaboration across the industry to address these challenges, leveraging resources from universities and enterprises to overcome key technological hurdles [2] Group 3: Ensuring High-Quality Construction - Four key points were emphasized for ensuring high-quality construction: 1. Implementing the primary responsibility of operating units to establish a comprehensive nuclear safety responsibility system [3] 2. Accelerating standardized design for nuclear power plants to enhance quality and efficiency [3] 3. Ensuring an efficient quality assurance system for the nuclear power supply chain [3] 4. Focusing on the cultivation of high-quality talent, particularly in critical roles such as welding and non-destructive testing [3] Group 4: Radioactive Waste Management - A preliminary "regional + centralized" disposal framework for radioactive waste has been established, significantly alleviating the disposal demands from rapid nuclear power development [4] - The construction of the "Beishan" underground laboratory for high-level radioactive waste is progressing steadily, laying the foundation for final disposal [4]
