HTGR
Nuclear power heating plant approved to be built in Jiangsu
HTR-PM starts commercial operation
On Dec 6th, Chinese independently developed high- temperature gas-cooled reactor demonstrator commenced commercial operation.
It signifies that China has completed the world first commercially operational modular nuclear power plant with fourth-generation nuclear technology, marking the transition of fourth-generation nuclear technology from experiments to the commercial market.
The high-temperature gas-cooled reactor, with advantages of high safety, power generation efficiency, and environmental adaptability, has broad applications in various fields such as power generation and combined heat and power.
It is an important pathway for optimizing energy structure...
442 nuclear units are operating in the world, 51 units are under construction
