First 4G nuke power plant awaits permit
Print Edition
THE building of the world’s first commercial fourth-generation nuclear power plant may start in Jiangxi Province in 2017, if a plan to the effect is approved by the government, sources said yesterday.
The power plant, using high-temperature gas-cooled reactors, will be located in Ruijin in the province. Its first generating unit will be operational by 2021, officials with the state-owned China Nuclear Engineering Group Co said.
The company is still waiting for a permit from the central government, they said.
The high-temperature gas-cooled reactor is a technology developed by China and is best known for its inherent safety design, said Wang Shoujun, CNEG chairman.
This technology will ensure that the fuel elements of the reactor will not be melted under any conditions and no radioactive material will be released into the environment, he said.
A demonstration plant using this technology has been under construction since 2012 in Rongcheng in Shandong Province, and may be operational in 2017.
An initial feasibility research for the Jiangxi plant has been approved by the nuclear expert committee. Following the research, CNEG and the Jiangxi provincial government will jointly apply for the project to be included in the national nuclear program, Wang said.
