ACP100 Demonstration Project

Updated:2021-12-16 | By:The Academy of Contemporary China and World Studies

ACP100 Demonstration Project 

The Chinese government provides strong support for the development and commercial use of small modular reactors (SMRs) in order to leverage nuclear energy in clean heating supply, industrial steam supply, seawater desalination, hydrogen production by electrolyzing water with surplus electricity, isotope production and refrigeration. CNNC launched an ACP100 reactor research project in 2010. In April 2016, ACP100 became the world's first SMR design to have passed IAEA's Generic Reactor Safety Review (GRSR). On July 18, 2019, CNNC announced the launch of a multi-purpose ACP100 demonstration project in Hainan Province. The project involves a reactor that has a thermal power of 385 MWt, an electric power of 160 MWe, and a volume of 14 m×10 m×10 m, using integrated reactor design, a passive safety system and an improved system for severe accident prevention and mitigation, with safety features reaching the level of Gen III nuclear energy systems. Smaller scale, lower capital cost and shorter construction period make it an attractive option. 

“玲龙一号”示范工程

为发挥核能在清洁供暖、工业供汽、海水淡化、余电制氢、同位素生产、制冷等方面的优势,中国政府积极支持小型堆技术的开发应用。中核集团于2010年正式启动模块化小型堆“玲龙一号”专项科研工作。2016年4月“玲龙一号”成为全球首个通过国际原子能机构通用安全审查的小型堆。2019年7月18日,中核集团在海南宣布启动中国多功能模块化小型堆“玲龙一号”示范工程。该反应堆热功率为385MWt,电功率为160MWe,体积为14m×10m×10m,采用一体化反应堆设计和非能动安全系统,具备比较完善的严重事故预防与缓解措施,其安全性达到第三代核能系统技术水平。更小的规模、更低的资本成本和更短的建设周期,使其颇具吸引力。
