en.Wedoany.com Reported - On April 4th, a new chapter has begun for the New Quality Hualong. Exciting news emerged once again regarding the batch construction of China's independently developed third-generation nuclear power technology, "Hualong One": the pouring of the first concrete for the nuclear island of Unit 2 at the Jinqimen Nuclear Power Plant, located in Xiangshan, Ningbo, Zhejiang, and invested in and controlled by China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), commenced. This marks the full entry of this unit's construction into the main structural construction phase. This is a vivid practice by CNNC, in collaboration with various parties, to advance the construction of a strong energy nation, implement the "dual carbon" goals, fulfill the mission of "empowering through technology and benefiting through industry," and strengthen the pursuit of excellence and reform-driven breakthroughs. It signifies new strides in the construction of "New Quality Hualong," which will contribute new strength to building a new energy system and solidifying national energy security.

Feng Jianping, Party Branch Secretary and Director of the East China Nuclear and Radiation Safety Supervision Station of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment; Huang Jiong, Vice Mayor of Ningbo City; Huang Mingang, Chief Economist and Chief Auditor of CNNC; as well as responsible persons from relevant departments and units in Ningbo City, Xiangshan County, CNNC, China National Nuclear Power Co., Ltd., Jinqimen Nuclear Power, and various participating construction units attended the event.

Hualong One is a third-generation nuclear power brand with complete independent intellectual property rights, independently developed by CNNC based on over forty years of experience in nuclear power research, design, manufacturing, construction, and operation. Currently, the number of Hualong One units under construction and in operation ranks first globally. It is the main reactor type for China's batch nuclear power construction and a "national name card" representing China's nuclear energy technology and comprehensive competitiveness entering the world's top tier.

Currently, both units of the first phase of the Jinqimen Nuclear Power Project have entered the construction phase. Guided by CNNC's strategic goal of building a world-class group with global competitiveness, CNNC Zhejiang Energy Co., Ltd. is collaborating closely with participating units such as China Nuclear Engineering & Construction Corporation, China Nuclear Engineering Consulting Corporation, China Nuclear Industry 22nd Construction Co., Ltd., China Nuclear Industry Fifth Construction Co., Ltd., and China Nuclear Huachen Co., Ltd. They are jointly innovating the integrated engineering construction organization model for design and construction, striving to advance the lean construction management model of "standardized design, factory prefabrication, modular construction, intelligent manufacturing, and digital delivery," and making every effort to build the "New Quality Hualong" demonstration project characterized by "safety, technology, economy, digitalization, and integrity." The units are planned to be put into operation for power generation in 2030 and 2031, respectively. The overall project plans to construct 6 million-kilowatt-class pressurized water reactor "Hualong One" nuclear power units. Upon completion, the annual power generation will reach 55 billion kilowatt-hours, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 45 million tons, equivalent to afforesting an area 65 times that of Ningbo's Dongqian Lake. It will provide strong support for ensuring energy and power supply and promoting green and low-carbon transformation in Zhejiang Province and the Yangtze River Delta region.

Focusing on CNNC's overall deployment for the beginning of the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, Jinqimen Nuclear Power is committed to building a cradle for China's nuclear power industry workers, deeply integrating into local economic and social development, earnestly implementing projects that benefit the people, and forging a sustainable development path of "putting the people first, building the New Quality Hualong, and making life better." It aims to fulfill the responsibility and commitment of a central state-owned enterprise in serving national strategies and promoting common prosperity.
