China 2025 will be built 2-3 fast reactor power plant

China news agency, Beijing, July 23 (Reporter Sun Zifa) - President of China Institute of Atomic Energy, fast reactor technology industry, innovation and strategic alliances made 23 Wan Gang, chairman of China's fast reactor technology and industrial development and long-term goal is to 2-3 Block 2025 into fast reactor power plant, a commercial-scale fast reactor MOX (mixed plutonium uranium oxide) fuel fabrication plant, a commercial-scale pressurized water reactor spent fuel reprocessing plant, the initial formation of closed industrial scale fuel system to achieve demonstration application to carry out fast reactor, fuel cycle technology, industrial-scale verification.

China Cooperative Association's "fast reactor research cooperation of independent innovation briefing" held in Beijing in the afternoon, Wan Gang, China Experimental Fast Reactor introduce ideas and research revealed that the above information. Just two days ago, China's first fast breeder reactor (FBR) - China Experimental Fast Reactor successful grid.Just grid of China Experimental Fast Reactor is the first step in the development of Chinese fast reactor.Wan Gang said that after the completion of fast reactor research and development mainly in fast reactor fuel cycle technology development, development of two commercial fast reactor power plant, the immediate goal is to 2015, built by the Chinese experimental fast reactor, fast reactor MOX fuel pellets experimental line , PWR spent fuel reprocessing pilot plant composed of fuel-cycle system development platform, pressurized water reactor spent fuel to separate plutonium make MOX fuel for industrial and experimental fast reactors in the application, verify the closed fuel cycle technologies and processes.Fourth-generation nuclear power reactors as the main type fast reactor of the future direction of development of advanced nuclear energy systems.Fast reactor is higher than the thermal neutron energy neutron-induced nuclear fission reactors, nuclear proliferation can be achieved, but also long-lived radioactive waste transmutation can fall. Match with the development of fast reactors PWR, can take advantage of uranium resources, nuclear waste minimization, in order to ensure the sustainable development of nuclear energy.

State Department counselor, executive vice president of China Association for Promoting Cooperative, said stone ring set for the formation of China's independent intellectual property brand of commercial fast reactor power station, in November 2010 led by China Institute of Atomic Energy in Beijing fast reactor industry Technology Innovation Alliance, aims to "based on independent innovation, to create a fast reactor industry chain and promote the commercialization of fast reactor technology, to build China's sustainable development of nuclear energy."
