en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Northwest Nuclear and Radiation Safety Supervision Station of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of China (hereinafter referred to as the Northwest Supervision Station) conducted supervision of the operator license renewal examination for the 2MWt liquid-fueled thorium-based molten salt experimental reactor (hereinafter referred to as the thorium-based molten salt reactor) at the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (hereinafter referred to as the operating unit).
The operator license renewal examination was held at two locations: the Wuwei site in Gansu (oral exam and actual reactor operation) and the Jiading campus in Shanghai (engineering simulator operation). Strictly adhering to regulations and fully considering the organizational structure of the operating unit as well as the characteristics of the thorium-based molten salt reactor, such as high temperature, normal pressure, and inherent safety, the Northwest Supervision Station formulated a supervision plan in advance. It focused on supervising key aspects including the examination organization, implementation process, grading review, and consistency between the simulator and the new reactor. This comprehensively tested the operators' overall ability to handle system startup, operation, shutdown, and accident conditions of the thorium-based molten salt reactor, ensuring the seriousness and effectiveness of the examination work.
Moving forward, the Northwest Supervision Station will continue to uphold the supervision philosophy of "independence, professionalism, prudence, and efficiency." With a strong sense of political responsibility and mission, it will persistently enhance supervision efforts, ensuring the reliable operation of the thorium-based molten salt reactor through high-level nuclear safety supervision, thereby solidifying the safety foundation for the high-quality development of advanced nuclear energy technology.
