Nuke plant gets core part
Print Edition
A key component of China’s first fourth-generation nuclear energy system was installed in a plant in Shandong Province yesterday.
The pressure vessel of a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) was installed at the Huaneng Shidao Bay nuclear power plant.
The cylindrical vessel, 25 meters high and weighing 610 tons, is the biggest, heaviest and most complicated pressure vessel for a nuclear reactor, according to a statement from Huaneng Shandong Shidao Bay Nuclear Power Co, the plant’s builder and operator.
In line with the fourth-generation concept, the reactor can shut down safely in the event of an emergency without causing a reactor core meltdown or large leak of radioactive material.
With a designed capacity of 200 megawatts, the reactor will start generating power by the end of 2017.
