1 Current Perspective of Nuclear Power in Mainland China Fuming JIANG Aug. 4 th,

2 Content Retrospect of Nuclear Industry Current Status and development of NP Current and Post-Fukushima Challenge A way forward (Prospect and Rational for NP) The role of WNU fellows Conclusion 2

3 Retrospect of Nuke Industry Start for National Defense in early 1955 Chairman Mao Declared the start of nuclear energy program High level commission established in

4 Retrospect of Nuke Industry Experience accumulated in the implementation national defense program 1970, then Premier Zhou made the statement that China will start its Nuclear Power Program The first 300MWe program approved in 1981 First concrete in 1985 Commercial operation in

5 Retrospect of Nuke Industry A complete fuel cycle program in place with 56 years of effort Mining Enrichment Recycling Fuel Manufacturing Waste Disposal Reprocessing NPPs 5

6 Retrospect of Nuclear Industry Current Status and development of NP Current and Post-Fukushima Challenge A way forward (Prospect and Rational for NP) The role of WNU fellows Conclusion 6

7 Operational Nuclear Units (Jul.1,20 11) Owner NPP Gross Power (MWe) Total (MWe) Reactor Type Qinshan I 300 PWR CNNC Qinshan II 3x650 PWR 5,670 Qinshan III 2x700 PHWR Tianwan 2x1060 VVER Daya Bay 2x984 PWR CGNPC Lingao I Lingao II 2x990 1x1080 5,028 PWR CPIC NIL Mainland Total CNNC China National Nuclear Co. CGNPC China Guangdong Nuclear Power Co. CPI China Power International Co. 10,698 MWe *Do not include data from Taiwan Province 7

8 Current Status and Development of NP Performance of Operational NPPs In 2010, 8 out of the 11 operational units: in the top quartile of NPPs fleet around the world in term of WANO PI The rest above the median in term of WANO PI No INES 2 or above event since 1991 for the NP Sustained improvement in the past decades 8

9 Geographical Locations of NPP (Jul.1,20 11) Hongyanhe Shidaoswan Lufeng Xianning Hunan Jiangxi Haiyang Tianwan Qinshan I Qinshan II Qingshan III Sanmen Ningde Fuqing Taiwan Province GNPS Lingao I Lingao II In Operation Taishan Under Construction Yangjiang NDRC approved for preparatory works Fangchanggang Hainan 9

10 Current Status and Development of NP (Jul.1, 2011) A collection of reactor type (13 op+28 under cons) PHWR (2 in operation) PWR (11 in operation, 28 under construction) CP600 (3 in operation, 3 under construction) CP300 (1 in operation) VVER (2 in operation, 2 to be constructed) AP1000 ( 4 under construction) EPR (2 under construction) M310 (5 in operation, 19 under construction) HTR (1 to be constructed) 10

11 Current Status and Development of NP In 1970s, 61 units under construction in USA In 1980s, 28 units under construction in France The original pace will be more than 40 units per year in the peak time in China. Pace will slow down as anticipated. 11

12 Retrospect of Nuclear Industry Current Status and development of NP Current and Post-Fukushima Challenge A way forward (Prospect and Rational for NP) The role of WNU fellows Conclusion 12

13 Current and Post-Fukushima Challenge Manpower Turnover of talent with fast expanding program Time to train, accumulate knowledge and expertise Competing for resource operator/contractor/products 13

14 Current and Post-Fukushima Challenge Manpower (2) KM Do not know that they should do Do not know how Can not Not willing 14

15 Current and Post-Fukushima Challenge Equipment Manufacturing Large capacity build-up Re-work (case study) Core-technology and its competitiveness Long-cycle of product R&D Surplus in the near future 15

16 Current and Post-Fukushima Challenge Safety Culture Promotion Maintaining a strong safety culture Conventional Vs Nuke Large in-flux of non-nuclear personnel Common language Peer pressure (culture orientated) Strive for excellence 16

17 Current and Post-Fukushima Challenge Nuclear Safety Oversight Staffing Free-flow of technical from Plant to Regulator A collection of reactor technology 17

18 Current and Post-Fukushima Challenge Public Communication Over-communication by media for Fukushima Consistent message in the media (vacuum filled by flawed message) Personnel Experience with local Entrepreneurs 18

19 Current and Post-Fukushima Challenge Atomic Energy Law The fundamental policy In drafting process for more than 3 decades Competing requirement from different government organizations 19

20 Retrospect of Nuclear Industry Current Status and development of NP Current and Post-Fukushima Challenge A way forward (Prospect and Rational for NP) The role of WNU fellows Conclusion 20

21 A Way Forward Fukushima What do not kill us make us stronger China Stringent inspection and evaluation of operational plants and NPPs under construction Temporary controlled halt of approval for new builds Nuclear Safety Plan to be issued soon 21

22 A Way Forward Continue to pursuit the use of NP in the energy mix Climate Change Commitment Expanding energy use with fast economic growth Shortage of Electricity in this summer (rotating blackout for non-essential use) Strategic plan for NP to be revisited and revised if necessary 22

23 A Way Forward No-organized anti-nuclear movement in China Enthusiasm from local government Benefit being seen (tax advantage, local economic booster, employment etc) Public awareness improve with more support to local community i.e., Nuclear University, PR center in Haiyan 23

24 Retrospect of Nuclear Industry Current Status and development of NP Current and Post-Fukushima Challenge A way forward (Prospect and Rational for NP) The role of WNU fellows Conclusion 24

25 What WNU Have Changed Me Fleet Contribution: Personnel Development have big picture in mind Human Performance Improvement Safety Culture / Pilot Assessment Outage optimization Localization of best practices in the industry 25

26 What WNU Have Changed Me International/Domestic contributions Safety Evaluation/Assessment around the world (WANO/OSART/USA etc) Papers on nuclear safety Presentation/Lectures 26

27 Perception of the Nuke Industry IAEA, watchdog to be equipped with sharper teeth WANO, industry police to be equipped louder whistles Post-Fukushima call for a more independent regulator, a strong industry police and selfdisciplined industry 27

28 Role of WNU Fellows Post-Fukushima call for creative leadership in Nuclear Industry in term of collective challenges. i.e., International Response Team (IRT) put forward by CEO of INPO Call for more younger leaders from our team to shoulder more responsibilities in term of improve operational safety of Nuke facilities, promoting safety culture and acting as the catalyst for its enhancement 28

29 Role of WNU Fellows Find you own voice and help other to find their Vision (big picture) Passion (love the industry) Discipline (work hard to help the industry) Conscience (it is the right thing to do) 29

30 Take away points Three pillar drivers for the growth of NP How well do we operate our Nuclear asset How well do we communicate that we are part of the energy and climate change solution How well the public accept us as part of the energy mix China will, as personnel view, will grow its Nuke industry unswervingly This era call for strong leadership in the Nuke industry, every one of you are one of them 30
