en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, the Northeast Regional Office of Nuclear and Radiation Safety Supervision of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (hereinafter referred to as the Northeast Regional Office) organized a routine nuclear safety inspection of the installation construction quality for Units 1, 2, and 4 of the Xudapu Nuclear Power Plant.
In response to the current situation of parallel construction of multiple units, the involvement of two different reactor types—CAP1000 and VVER1200—in this inspection, and the prominent practical challenge of cross-operation risks, the Northeast Regional Office made thorough preparations in advance, meticulously carrying out pre-inspection groundwork. On one hand, it organized the review of installation characteristics, key process differences, historical quality issues, and lessons learned from experience feedback for the two reactor types, clarifying inspection priorities. On the other hand, it optimized the composition of the inspection team, assigned personnel based on reactor type, and developed targeted inspection plans to guide the inspection activities.
The inspection team focused on verifying key aspects such as the overall engineering progress of the operating unit, implementation of the quality assurance program, and quality control of installation construction. Based on briefings, the team conducted in-depth inspections at the construction sites of the units and key areas such as welding material warehouses, reviewed the compilation and review status of relevant documents on-site, and interviewed frontline construction personnel. Through a multi-dimensional inspection approach differentiated by reactor type, area, and priority, the team strictly controlled construction quality to ensure the effectiveness of the inspection.
Going forward, the Northeast Regional Office will continue to enhance its political awareness, further urge the operating unit to implement corrective actions for issues identified during the inspection, effectively ensure closed-loop management of problems, and fully guarantee the high-quality construction of the Xudapu Nuclear Power Plant.
