National People's Congress, Hunan Zheng Yan, general manager of Nuclear Power Taohuajiang country that the "Thirteen Five" energy optimization inevitable transition to a green low-carbon focus, a number of nuclear power in energy choices, will usher in the great development of strategic opportunities.

Red Net Beijing March 9 hearing (time news reporter Feng Jun Zhang Yao Photography) energy supply side reforms must promote non-fossil energy sources to replace fossil energy, improve nuclear power and other renewable energy share in the new energy supply, and in the development Lu nuclear power in line with "innovation, coordination, green, open, sharing" five development concept. Today, the National People's Congress, Hunan Zheng Yan, general manager of Nuclear Power Taohuajiang States accept Red Net said in an interview, "Thirteen Five" energy optimization inevitable transition to a green low-carbon focus, a number of nuclear power in energy choices, will greet Lai strategic development opportunities.

Inland nuclear power is the inevitable choice

President Xi Jinping during November 2015 at the United Nations Climate Change Conference solemn commitment, China will be around 2030, carbon dioxide emissions peak as early as possible and strive to achieve, by 2030 carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP than in 2005 dropped 60% -65 %, of non-fossil fuels in primary energy consumption to around 20%.

Zheng Yan State said: "To fulfill this promise, we must promote the development of nuclear power as China's coastal resources are depleted nuclear power plant, nuclear power development in coastal shrinking space, nuclear power development focus from coastal to inland will be an inevitable trend."

In recent years, the development of inland areas also faced with the dual pressures of energy security and environmental pollution. Nuclear power as a safe, clean and efficient energy, industrial production is currently a major new energy, is the solution to energy needs, safeguard an important pillar of energy security, while improving air quality, climate change, to accelerate the transformation of low-carbon energy, an important means to build an ecological civilization, and to optimize the industrial structure, promote economic development in the region can play an important role.

"Especially like Hunan such a dependence on foreign energy up to 59% of the inland provinces, the development of nuclear power is the only way to solve the energy gap." Zheng Yan State said.

Hunan Province coal resources reserves of less than 2.6% of the national total, less than half the national average per capita reserves, 60% of the province outside the province of coal required input. Economic development of hydropower resources exhausted, wind power, photovoltaic power generation technology can develop a small amount of biomass, shale gas resources are relatively abundant, but the former in a little energy in the proportion which large-scale commercial exploitation and environmental protection will take time day. Fire and water in the province installed a serious imbalance in the proportion of seasonal power shortage prominent environmental standards had been approaching the edge of the regional environmental quality worsening year by year. Hunan is located in China's energy delivery end, the province coal prices, the benchmark price of thermal power desulfurization highest in the country. In recent years, Hunan sustained and stable economic development, energy demand gap expanded year by year.

Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Hunan reform and development put forward the "one area" (Editor's note: the Midwest and eastern coastal transition zone, the Yangtze River economic belt and open coastal economic belt engaging portion) in the new location, location advantages Hunan overlay, will central China has become an important growth pole, only the "thirteen five" would need to add power installed capacity of 20 million kilowatts or more. Development of nuclear power has become an inevitable choice and Hunan urgent desire to solve the energy problem. To this end, Hunan has "speed up the declaration and construction of nuclear power projects," explicitly written into the province "Thirteen Five" planning.

Mature inland nuclear power safety

"Currently, there are still some voices have questioned the safety of nuclear power, nuclear power plant construction against inland. This is because the development of nuclear power, especially for the technological development of China's nuclear power do not understand the cause." Zheng Yan State said.

Inland nuclear power safety is guaranteed. Inland nuclear power construction feasibility study counseling Chinese Academy of Engineering in 2015 organized the show: our nuclear and radiation safety standards consistently and the world's highest safety standards, the use of three generations of pressurized water reactor nuclear power technology, to meet the current level of the highest international safety requirements, even under severe under accident conditions, it would not harm the environment and the public.

Our introduction of absorption and innovation, with independent intellectual property rights of third-generation nuclear power technology AP1000 variety of technical problems have been resolved. The first main pump station was successfully installed January 28, 2016 in Sanmen project site is completed, the data in full compliance with design requirements, Unit 1 will be completed in three cold hydraulic test in June 2016, 2017 2 month for the first time grid, in May put into commercial operation.

Since Zheng Yan State said that in February 2008 the NDRC accordance with the spirit of the State Council Leading Group meeting of the nuclear issue agreed Taohuajiang Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi Pengze farm three inland nuclear power projects to carry out preparatory work documents, these three projects ready to start before the preparatory work. Hunan Peach Blossom River nuclear power project, design, procurement of equipment manufacturing, site construction and preparation of the project started with the associated hardware, software, full implementation of the work completed, the project total investment of 4.29 billion yuan in fixed assets, complete with operating conditions.

Comments: There are scientific and orderly start inland nuclear power construction

Zheng Yan State said that according to the supply-side strategies and countries of structural reforms "safe and efficient development of nuclear power," the idea, should pay close attention to promoting energy supply side reforms, "Thirteen Five" early start inland nuclear power construction. Currently, AP1000 Relying on the technical issues have been resolved, coupled with the inherent nuclear safety, environmental protection and cleaning properties, national scientific and orderly arrangement of inland nuclear power construction start time is ripe. He suggested: First National Energy Board, after three cold test Unit 1 project is completed to give the reply, the approval of the project to restart preparations for the orderly conduct of the normal nuclear power companies prepare before the start; the second is to be three No. 1 after generating units approved inland nuclear power projects under construction.
