Containment Pressure Test of Lufeng Nuclear Power Unit 5 Successfully Completed

en.Wedoany.com Reported - The containment pressure test of CGN's Lufeng Nuclear Power Unit 5 has been successfully completed, marking a key step forward in the construction of the project. The successful completion of this test not only verified the structural strength and sealing performance of the containment, but also laid a solid foundation for the smooth progress of subsequent works and the stable operation of the unit.

The containment pressure test is an important technical step in nuclear power project construction, and its quality is directly related to the safe operation of the power station. To ensure the smooth conduct of the test, the relevant units of Lufeng Nuclear Power carried out thorough preparatory work, including scheme review, technical disclosure, and experience feedback, so as to ensure that all conditions for the test met the standards.

During the test preparation stage, the engineering team strictly controlled safety and quality and, through multiple control measures, ensured that the prerequisites for the test were implemented. They completed multiple key tests, including those for the three major gates, to a high standard, thoroughly cleaned the plant building, installed the containment instrumentation system, and conducted a comprehensive inspection of the secondary side of the steam generators, effectively identifying potential leakage risks and eliminating factors that could interfere with the test.

Through regularly held coordination meetings, the relevant departments promptly resolved problems encountered in on-site construction, clarified the responsibilities of all parties, and ensured timely problem resolution, laying a solid foundation for the official start of the test.

Witnessed by the South China Supervision Station, the containment pressure test of Lufeng Nuclear Power Unit 5 officially started on August 29. During the test, the on-site team strictly controlled the pressure rise and fall rates, ensuring the stability and full-process controllability of the test conditions at each pressure platform, and all test results met the design requirements and relevant specifications.

The success of this test fully verified the integrity and reliability of the containment boundary of Lufeng Nuclear Power Unit 5, and its overall sealing performance received the highest-level Class A rating. This means that the safety performance of the project has been fully guaranteed.

The successful completion of the containment pressure test of Lufeng Nuclear Power Unit 5 is the result of the joint efforts of the entire project team. With a high sense of responsibility and professional dedication, they overcame various difficulties and ultimately achieved satisfactory results.

The success of this test provides important safety and quality assurance for the advancement of subsequent works and also brings confidence to the commissioning and operation of Lufeng Nuclear Power Unit 5.

The construction of Lufeng Nuclear Power Unit 5 is of great significance for safeguarding China's energy supply and economic development. It is believed that with the joint efforts of all colleagues, the project will surely be completed smoothly and make greater contributions to China's nuclear power industry.
