Recently, with the completion of the first refueling overhaul of the second unit of the AP1000-based project in Shandong Haiyang Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1, the third-generation nuclear power zirconium produced by GHBT Titanium Zirconium Industry Technology Group was officially put into service, marking China The goal of localization of nuclear-grade zirconium materials has been successfully achieved, rewriting the situation that China has long relied on imports of nuclear-grade zirconium materials.
Nuclear-grade zirconium, as a structural material for nuclear fuel elements of reactors, is an indispensable key material for nuclear power plants. For a long time, China's nuclear-grade zirconium has all relied on imports. With the support of the National Science and Technology Special Project of "Large Advanced Pressurized Water Reactor and High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor Nuclear Power Station", GHBT has developed three routes A, B and C to promote nuclear-grade zirconium in accordance with the localization of the third-generation nuclear power nuclear grade zirconium In the process of localization, the qualification assessment from "imported tube blanks, imported raw materials to the realization of domestic raw materials" has been gradually completed. Today, domestically produced AP1000 nuclear grade zirconium materials are officially put into the stack and will assume the major responsibility of the first protective barrier for nuclear power safety.
