Hualong 1 has a design life of 60 years. The reactor of Hualong-1 adopts 177-core design, with a core replacement cycle of 18 months, and the utilization rate of the plant is up to more than 90%. The Hualong 1 reactor adopts an innovative "dynamic and non-dynamic" safety system and double-layer containment technology, which meets the highest international safety standards in terms of safety.
The Hualong-1 adopts effective non-energetic safety measures on the basis of energetic safety, and the non-energetic safety system, which can effectively cope with the loss of the power source, is supplemented by the energetic safety system which has been verified by the engineering and is highly efficient, mature and reliable, and provides diversified means to meet the safety requirements, and it is one of the most widely accepted third-generation nuclear models in the nuclear power market at present.
Safety profile of Hualong-1.
The Hualong-1 has taken practical and effective measures to improve safety from the top-level design, and meets the Chinese government's 2020 vision of "practically eliminating the possibility of a large amount of radioactive material release from the design" of newly built nuclear power units in the 13th Five-Year Plan and beyond, and is fully capable of meeting the 2020 vision. 2020 vision goal, fully equipped to cope with extreme working conditions similar to the Fukushima nuclear accident; Hualong No. 1 first set of localization rate can reach 85%, the economy and the current international orders of the most competitive Russian nuclear power technology products, compared with the current three generations of mainstream models have obvious economic competitiveness.
