en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, PowerChina Nuclear Engineering Company, a subsidiary of PowerChina, received a notice of award from CGN Engineering Co., Ltd. to undertake the main installation works of the nuclear island of the CW Project, marking a new breakthrough for the company after more than 30 years of development in the nuclear power business, achieving the complete installation of a nuclear island in the field of nuclear power plant construction.

PowerChina Nuclear Engineering Company is the earliest enterprise within the PowerChina Group to participate in nuclear power plant construction. In 1994, the company participated in the construction of the Guangdong Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant and won the Best Project Award selected by the American magazine "Power." In 1999, it undertook the construction of the Guangdong Ling Ao Nuclear Power Plant and won the National Excellent Welding Engineering Award. In 2009, for the first time in China, adopting an integrated civil engineering and installation model, it implemented the conventional island construction and installation works for three units of the Guangdong Yangjiang Nuclear Power Plant, among which Unit 1 won the First Prize for National Excellent Welding Engineering and Unit 5 won the PowerChina Quality Engineering Award. In 2014, it undertook the conventional island and BOP construction and installation works for Unit 1 of the "Guohe No.1" demonstration project. To date, the company has participated in completing 8 nuclear power units with a total installed capacity of 8,606 MW.Guangdong Daya Bay Nuclear Power Project

Since being renamed from "Shandong No.2 Electric Power Engineering Company" to "PowerChina Nuclear Engineering Company" on August 16, 2016, the company has unwaveringly adhered to its strategy of "Nuclear Power Leadership" and continuously strengthened its nuclear power business capabilities. It has successively established the Nuclear Energy Division, Shandong Tuoneng Nuclear Power Testing Co., Ltd., Nuclear Power Operation, Maintenance, and Repair Company, and the Nuclear Power Equipment Branch. In 2018, with strong support from the Group, the company successfully obtained the Civil Nuclear Safety Equipment Installation License, gaining access to the field of nuclear island installation. Subsequently, the company has gone all out towards the nuclear island goal in scientific research, technology reserve, talent training, and brand construction.

The company has deepened strategic cooperation with nuclear power operators such as CGN, CNNC, SPIC, and CHNG. It has successively won bids for projects including the Guangdong Taipingling Nuclear Power Plant, Liaoning Xudabao Nuclear Power Plant, Zhejiang San'ao Nuclear Power Plant, CGN Research Institute Hot Cell Project, Guangdong Lianjiang Nuclear Power Plant, Huaneng Shidaowan Nuclear Power Plant, Fujian Ningde Nuclear Power Plant, second phase of Guangdong Taipingling Nuclear Power Plant, and Lufeng Nuclear Power Plant. As of now, the company has 9 conventional island projects under construction for nuclear power, establishing its leading role in conventional island construction in China.

The CW Project plans to build six 1,000 MW-class units, employing the China-developed Hualong One third-generation nuclear power technology. It is a key project for Shandong Province to build a clean energy industrial cluster integrating nuclear, wind, solar, and storage in a step-by-step manner. In the next step, PowerChina Nuclear Engineering Company will take it as its mission to serve the national strategy and promote regional development, keep pace with the construction of a nuclear power powerhouse, strictly implement regulatory requirements of "absolute responsibility, highest standards, system operation, and experience feedback," continuously accumulate technical and management strength, systematically advance its nuclear island installation capabilities, and, with strong support and help from the Group, effectively leverage and polish the nuclear qualification "golden brand." Using the existing nuclear power engineering projects as a development platform, the company will continuously strengthen the construction of nuclear safety culture, concentrate advantageous resources, and make every effort to build this project into a benchmark project for the Hualong One, establishing a good brand image for PowerChina in the national nuclear power sector.
