China Independent Third-Generation Nuclear Power Technology of “ACC1000” Completes Preliminary Design
The preliminary design of ACC1000/Hualong 1000 has finished recently, which is the rationalization of the ACP1000 from CNNC and ACPR1000+ from CGN. ACC1000 has been taken as China’s first third-generation technology with completely independent intellectual property rights in its nuclear power development.Obviously, ACC1000 is carrying the mission to unify China’s nuclear power technology. However, to completely merge those two kinds of technology and to be successfully used in practice is not an easy aspect.
Both CGN and CNNC attached great expectation on ACC1000. It will have a revolutionary significance for the whole Chinese nuclear power development once it was applied successfully. At present, China’s nuclear power technology is in the midst of the “wars” among the three major nuclear power groups.
An insider showed that the contestation of the interests among those groups has been a debate for a long time. It looks very harmonious on the surface, but in fact it is not the case. The insider also said that it may hinder the unification and integration of China’s nuclear power technology.
At present, AP1000 has been generally recognized within the industry regarding the nuclear power technology, of which the safety standard is also the reference of ACC1000. Guohai Security, China future third-generation nuclear power will be given priority to AP1000, for it has obvious advantages compared with domestic mainstream second-generation CPR1000 no matter what the perspective of safety or economic is. Therefore, the future development road of ACC1000 is doomed not to be flat.
