It is one of the most welcomed third-generation reactor designs as well as a milestone of China's innovative nuclear development.
它是中国创新型核能发展的一个里程碑，也是最受青睐的第三代反应堆设计之一。
"China is undergoing an approval process for a nuclear-based heat plant in Heilongjiang province, which will be the first inland reactor no longer associated with electricity generation,"Wei said.
Third-generation nuclear reactor technology has broken foreign monopolies in many fields and will enable China to own independent intellectual property rights and harness export potential, said senior executives of State Power Investment Corp. Their comments came after SPIC, one of China's three nuclear power developers and operators, announced the completion of research and development of the country's third-generation nuclear reactor project called CAP1400, or Guo He One, early last week.
All its key parts and materials, like the reactor coolant pumps, squib valves, steam generators, reactor pressure vessel internals, control rod drive mechanisms, large forgings and nuclear-grade welding material, are all domestically designed and manufactured, he said.
In comparison with the second-generation version, the new reactor, with a design life of 60 years, extends the non-manual intervention time from 30 minutes to 72 hours, and dramatically improves safety performance against natural disasters like earthquakes and floods by 100 times, said Lu Hongzao, SPIC's assistant president.
"For instance, each reactor can provide 1.5 million kilowatt-hours of electricity to the grid.
China's third-generation nuclear reactor technologies will strongly ensure the healthy growth and integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region as well as the Hainan Free Trade Port in the future.
China National Nuclear Corp, a centrally administrated SOE, also announced that it started to load fuel last week at China's first nuclear plant with a domestically-developed reactor using Hualong One technology, a self-developed third-generation reactor design, bringing the unit one step closer to operation.
Hualong One, or HPR 1000, is a third-generation nuclear reactor with proprietary intellectual property rights.
Featuring million-kilowatt pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear power technology and global top safety standards, HPR 1000 was first built at the Fuqing nuclear power station in Fuzhou, capital of Fujian province, and is expected to have fuel loading at unit 5 in the near term and grid-connected power generation by the end of this year.
In March, China Nuclear Power Engineering, a subsidiary of CNNC, completed a key test in a nuclear power unit using Hualong One technology－a domestically developed third-generation reactor design－in Fuqing, Fujian province, marking an important step in the development of the unit before fuel loading begins.

The outer containment dome of the Karachi unit 2 nuclear reactor in Pakistan was successfully installed on Monday, a milestone marking the end of its general construction work, said China National Nuclear Corp, one of the country's largest nuclear power companies.
The installation of the outer containment dome of Karachi unit 2, the first export of China's Hualong One pressurized water reactor design, a domestically developed third-generation reactor design, will be followed up by containment and heat tests, it said.
CNNC has four HPR1000 units under construction around the world, which is the world's only third-generation pressurized water reactor nuclear power project constructed according to schedule.
Set up in 1950, CIAE is widely considered the cradle of nuclear science and technology in the nation, as it pioneered the development and successful construction of China's first nuclear reactor and cyclotron in the 1950s.
Apart from the medical sector, the institute has also designed a new type of safe, economical and environmentally friendly nuclear heating reactor for district heating, with its independently developed pool-type low-temperature reactor Yanlong.
During a demonstration last winter, the reactor was used to supply heat to three buildings of about 10,000 square meters in CIAE continuously for 30 days.
"The demonstration has proved the feasibility of the pool-type low-temperature heating reactor and marked important progress for follow-up commercial use of such nuclear heating technology," said Liu Xingmin, director of the reactor core design section at the institute.
China has built a number of pool-type reactors, which have cumulatively operated for 500 reactor years, proving such reactors are stable and reliable, according to Liu.
A reactor year is one year of operations for a reactor.
"The layer of water shields the radiation so completely that as long as there is water above the reactor core, the reactor will be safe and stable even if affected by earthquakes of magnitude between 7 and 8," he added.
Moreover, the nuclear heating system is cost efficient, and a 400-megawatt Yanlong low-temperature heating reactor could heat up to 20 million square meters, equivalent to 200,000 homes, according to Liu.
According to the company, the stainless steel forging will be used as the supporting ring for the core components in the pilot reactor of the fourth-generation nuclear power unit in Xiapu county, Ningde city, Fujian province.
The neutron reactor in the plant has a designated capacity of 60 million kilowatts.
Regarded as the central nervous system of a nuclear power plant, control systems not only drive the operation of the reactor, but allow it to be shut down safely should problems occur.
"It should allay any fears the public may have about the Chinese developing a nuclear reactor in the UK.
The Chinese group first entered the UK market in 2016 when it signed a deal with French company EDF to jointly invest in three nuclear plants: Hinkley Point C, Sizewell C and Bradwell B. CGN is only a minority investor in Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C, but according to the original deal, it will be the majority investor in Bradwell B, which is also the only plant to use Chinese-developed nuclear technology, the HPR1000 reactor.
If successful, the reactor's deployment at Bradwell B will be the first time ever that the Chinese technology is used in a developed economy.
Regarded as the central nervous system of a nuclear power plant, control systems not only drive the operation of the reactor, but allows it to be safely shut down should problems occur.
China General Nuclear Power Group and French energy company EDF Group on Friday announced that Taishan Nuclear Power Plant's unit one reactor successfully completed a 168-hour demonstration operation.

China will also finish two delayed third-generation reactor projects in 2018, including the Sanmen nuclear power plant in Zhejiang and the first unit of the Taishan European Pressurized Reactor project designed by Areva in Guangdong province.
In Ghana, the CNNC has helped convert a local highly-enriched uranium nuclear reactor into a low-enriched one.
Last year, the CNNC signed a joint venture agreement with TerraPower, LLC to form the Global Innovation Nuclear Energy Technology Co Ltd to work together on the Travelling Wave Reactor technology, marking a new stage in China-US nuclear cooperation, Wang added.
"The new reactor design from China, the UK HPR1000, developed by CGN and China National Nuclear Corporation is undergoing a phase-two process in the Generic Design Assessment in Britain, which allows regulators to begin assessing the safety, security and environmental aspects of new reactor designs.
Huang also added that some 86.7 percent of core equipment for the Fangchenggang Phase II power station in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region has been undertaken by domestic companies, including reactor pressure vessels and steam turbine generator units.
The deal, between China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN) and the French Alternative Energy and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), focuses on areas such as nuclear reactor technology, advanced fuels and materials, and nuclear fuel cycles.
Under the agreement, CGN and CEA will deepen cooperation in the upstream and downstream nuclear power industry chain, including reactor life management and the concept design of the fourth-generation nuclear energy technology.
China General Nuclear Power Group signed a strategic cooperation agreement with CSIC in 2016 to develop a reactor design, the 200-megawatt ACPR50S for the offshore nuclear power platform.
China National Nuclear Corp, one of the country's largest nuclear companies, introduced the low-temperature heating reactor DHR-400 for residential heat generation, replacing coal-fired boilers as China aims to reduce coal consumption to curb pollution, the company said Tuesday.
The reactor, which has a service life of 60 years, can be applied either in the inland or coastal areas to provide cheap and sustainable electricity compared with other traditional fuels including coal and natural gas.
According to the company, a 400-megawatt heating reactor can provide heat for an area of 20 million square meters.
China's third-generation nuclear technology, the Hualong Pressurized Reactor 1000, which is also known as HPR1000, was submitted for assessment in January.
The first reactor, the 18 billion pound ($23.82 billion) Hinkley Point C, involves one-third investment from CGN.
Analysts said CGN's attempt to explore a bid for the reactor project is part of its effort to use the UK as a springboard to further export its HPR1000 nuclear technology globally.
Earlier this year CGN also put the Chinese indigenous Hua-long Pressurized Reactor 1000 nuclear technology, also known as HPR1000, before the UK's nuclear regulator for review.
China National Nuclear Power Co Ltd said it plans to establish a company, in Cangzhou, Hebei province, to promote the development of a traveling-wave reactor, a new nuclear design using fourth-generation technology.

[Photo provided to China Daily]Garvin Liu leads Westinghouse's efforts to sustain AP1000, a key nuclear technology, in ChinaAnxiety erupted in China earlier this year after two South Carolina utilities announced they will abandon two unfinished nuclear reactor projects in the US state.
They had selected the AP1000 reactor design of Westinghouse Electric Company LLC, a nuclear power products and services company in the US majority-owned by Japan's Toshiba.
There were concerns in China because the same AP1000 reactor technology was being used in the under-construction nuclear power projects in Sanmen, Zhejiang province, and Haiyang, Shandong province.
According to Liu, comprehensive nuclear safety checks were completed in July at the AP1000 reactor at unit 1 of the Sanmen plant, which is incidentally the world's first AP1000 reactor.
State Nuclear Power Technology Corp signed a framework agreement with Westinghouse in 2007 to build four 1,150-megawatt AP1000 reactors in China, a first for the country in terms of the reactor design.
Westinghouse in China will make joint efforts to ensure safe and high-quality delivery of the world's first AP1000 reactor, he said.
Bradwell will be built with indigenous Chinese third generation nuclear technology -Hua-long Pressurized Reactor 1000 (also known as HPR1000)-- with support from EDF.
Hinkley program can also learn from China's Taishan nuclear power station, which involves two reactors built by EDF and CGN using the same technology－the European Pressurized Reactor, said Richard Mayson, a senior director at EDF.
CNNC said it's one step closer to exporting its high-temperature gas cooled reactor projects to countries that include Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
CNNC President Wang Shoujun said CNNC has already signed memorandums of understanding with Saudi Arabia and the UAE in HTGR project cooperation, signaling that decades of research on the reactor have paid off.
Robert Davies, chief operating officer of the General Nuclear International, a UK subsidiary of China's Shenzhen-based General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN), told Xinhua Friday that he is "very confident" with the China-developed third-generation HPR1000 nuclear reactor getting through the ongoing government assessment.
Mao Qing, CGN's chief technical officer in Britain, said the China-developed third-generation nuclear reactor, is both mature and economically-efficient.
cn]Westinghouse's bankruptcy would have no substantial impact on the ongoing AP1000 nuclear reactor construction in China, said its Asia president.
A comprehensive nuclear safety check was completed last month at the AP1000 reactor at unit 1 of the Sanmen nuclear power plant in Zhejiang province, the world's first AP1000 reactor.
He cited the agreement between Westinghouse, China's State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation and Electricity Generation Company, the largest electric power company in Turkey, to develop and construct a four-unit nuclear power plant site in Turkey based on AP1000 reactor technology.
