中国核聚变装置BEST项目建设取得关键突破，2027年发电！【附核电行业发展趋势】

Group 1 - The BEST project in Hefei, Anhui, has achieved a significant breakthrough with the successful development and installation of the key component, the Dewar base, marking a new phase in the construction of the compact fusion energy experimental device [2] - The BEST device is a burning plasma physics experimental facility that utilizes compact high-field superconducting tokamak technology, aiming for completion and demonstration of nuclear fusion power generation by 2027 [2] - The Dewar base, measuring approximately 18 meters in diameter and 5 meters in height, weighs over 400 tons and is the heaviest component of the BEST system, designed to support the main device's total weight of about 6700 tons [2] Group 2 - China's operational nuclear power capacity has increased from 33,632.16 MWe in 2016 to 57,031.34 MWe in 2023, with the number of operational nuclear reactors rising from 35 to 55 [3] - As of the first quarter of 2024, China's operational nuclear power capacity reached 58,218.34 MWe, with 56 reactors in operation, maintaining the largest scale of nuclear power construction globally [3] - Despite this growth, nuclear power accounts for only 2% of the total installed power capacity in China, indicating significant potential for future expansion in fusion energy [5] Group 3 - Recent policy support for controllable nuclear fusion has strengthened, with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission initiating actions to promote future industries, identifying controllable nuclear fusion as a key direction for future energy [7] - Controllable nuclear fusion is viewed as a safer, greener, and more energy-dense alternative to nuclear fission, with the potential to provide nearly limitless clean energy [7] - Achieving commercial-scale nuclear fusion power generation could address global energy shortages, contribute to climate change mitigation, and support poverty alleviation and development efforts [8]
