Developed in cooperation with China Huaneng Group, Tsinghua University and China National Nuclear Corporation, this cutting-edge project in Shandong province marks a significant leap forward in the development of nuclear energy technology.
HTGR, the pinnacle of fourth-generation nuclear technology, prioritizes safety and avoids the risk of meltdown or radioactive leakage, even when there is no cooling capacity. Zhang Zuoyi, the chief designer of the HTGR program, emphasizes the great importance of this security feature.
More than 500 companies participated in the project, which made it possible to achieve a strong localization rate of 90% of equipment for nuclear power plants. Project officer Zhang Yanxu emphasizes the importance of this milestone in China’s nuclear energy development in terms of safety, scientific excellence and technological innovation.
