  • China takes the lead in formulating the implementation of global cement standards for nuclear power engineering construction 2019-12-16
    GB / T31545-2015 "Portland Cement for Nuclear Power Engineering", the world's first cement power standard for nuclear power engineering construction, led by China National Institute of Building Materials Science, was formally implemented on February 1. The release and implementation of this standard will regulate the production and quality control of portland cement for nuclear power engineering in China (referred to as "nuclear power cement"), promote the transformation and upgrading of the cement industry, improve the quality of cement and concrete for nuclear power engineering in China, and ensure the long-term safety of nuclear power plants. Operations will play an important role.
  • China's first successful development of a nuclear power main pump large depleted uranium flywheel 2019-12-16
    On February 2nd, at the production site of CNNC Northern Nuclear Fuel Element Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of CNNC, the first domestic CAP1400 depleted uranium flywheel for a shielded main pump for nuclear power was assembled. After dynamic balance testing, it fully met the design requirements. As the key component for the independent development of the third-generation large-scale advanced pressurized water reactor canned pump motor in China, this achievement has completely independent intellectual property rights. Its successful development has improved the safety and reliability of flywheel and main pump operation, and further expanded Application of depleted uranium materials in the nuclear power industry.
