CNNP(SH:601985) Nan Fang Du Shi Bao·2025-10-18 11:09Core Insights - The "Linglong No. 1" has successfully completed its cold test, marking it as the world's first land-based commercial modular small reactor, expected to generate 1 billion kWh annually [1][15]. Group 1: Project Overview - "Linglong No. 1" is recognized as a significant breakthrough in China's nuclear power innovation, being the first small modular reactor to pass the International Atomic Energy Agency's safety review [5][13]. - The reactor's design is compact, with a diameter of only 30 meters, making it one-tenth the size of traditional commercial reactors, and it has a power output of 125,000 kW [7][10]. Group 2: Design and Construction Features - The reactor features an integrated design and modular construction, eliminating the need for separate installation of key components, which enhances safety and reliability while reducing construction time and costs [8][10]. - The steam generator is installed inside the pressure vessel, allowing for a compact reactor module that can be easily transported and installed on-site [8][10]. Group 3: Applications and Flexibility - "Linglong No. 1" is designed for versatile energy supply applications, including electricity generation, urban heating, seawater desalination, industrial steam supply, and oil extraction, making it suitable for various locations such as inland areas, islands, and offshore oil platforms [10][12]. - The reactor is also being developed for use in floating nuclear power stations, enhancing its mobility and ability to provide power where needed [12]. Group 4: Future Plans and Environmental Impact - The reactor is scheduled to be operational by 2026, with the potential to meet the electricity needs of 526,000 households in Hainan [15]. - Each "Linglong No. 1" unit is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 880,000 tons annually, equivalent to planting 7.5 million trees [15].
