Transcription

1 DRAFT Canadian Nuclear Trade Mission to China Pacific Basin Nuclear Conference 2016 Nuclear In China Exhibition 2016 Beijing, China April 4-10, 2016 Sanmen NPP Qinshan NPP Hualong One NPP The Organization of Canadian Nuclear Industries (OCI) is organizing a trade mission to China to link Canadian nuclear suppliers with nuclear utilities and potential supply partners in the world s fastest growing nuclear market Objectives: Introduce Canadian nuclear equipment / service providers to the wide range of opportunities in the rapidly expanding Chinese nuclear program; Introduce Canadian nuclear equipment and service providers to potential Chinese partners in order to collaborate on Qinshan CANDU plant life extension and on construction of AFCR reactors in China and elsewhere. Introduce Canadian nuclear equipment and service providers to Chinese nuclear equipment suppliers in order to develop partnerships for supply to CANDU projects in Romania, Argentina and the UK in which Chinese state-owned enterprises, CNNC and CGN, intend to invest.

Canada hosted the Pacific Basin Nuclear Conference (PBNC) 2014 in Vancouver and is playing a strong role in supporting the organization of PBNC2016. Canadian speakers will be featured in the Opening Ceremony and the Opening Plenary Session for PBNC2016. The Canadian Pavilion will be in prominent location at the PBNC/NIC 2016 Trade Show. All delegates on the Trade Mission will have an opportunity to showcase their company capabilities in the pavilion and to host B2B meetings at meeting areas within the pavilion.

5 Background China s Nuclear Market The economy in China has been developing fast at an unprecedented speed and has maintained such a speed in 2014 at 7.4% increase of GDP even at the world financial crisis and is expected to keep 7% increase in To keep pace with this fast demand, China needs much energy to maintain its social and economic development and to protect the natural environment. The Chinese government made a commitment formally to the world that compared to 2005, China would cut its carbon emission intensity at 40% to 45% by unit of GDP and the non-fossil energy consumption would reach 15% before In November 2014, the Chinese Central Government published "The Action Plan for Energy Development Strategy (2014~2020)" which clearly defined the goal of nuclear power development in China, i.e., nuclear power should reach 58GWe operational by 2020 and 30GWe under construction by then. This means that China will need 35GWe new builds, approximately 5 to 6 units to start construction before The new investment in nuclear power is around 100 billion Yuan each year. By the end of May 2015, the Chinese Government has approved the start of construction of 2 projects of 4 units (Hongyanhe 5 & 6, and Fuqing 5& 6). In addition, China is also cooperating with many other countries in building nuclear power plant internationally. Hualong-1(ACP1000) has landed successfully in Pakistan. In February 2015, China and Argentina signed an agreement on the construction of PWR reactor in Argentina. China is also discussing with UK, South Africa, Romania, Brazil and many other countries. Another inspiring progress is that the R & D in nuclear industry in China has made great progress. China's 3rd Generation nuclear power design "Hualong- 1" has started pouring the first concrete for the nuclear island at Fuqing site (Unit 5) on May 7, The CAP1400 has poured concrete for the conventional island on April 25, For the small modular reactor ACP100, CNNC completed the technical option selection. The Chinese Experimental Fast Reactor reached full power in December 2014 and stayed in full power level for 72 hours. China is also a very active member in GIF. Chinese experts are also participating international research program, such as the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER).

6 Advanced Fuel CANDU Reactor Project Natural Resources Canada and the China National Energy Administration signed an Agreement on November 8, 2014 to advance collaboration between the two countries in the field of civilian nuclear energy including development of advanced fuel reactors and exports to third markets. On the same day SNC- Lavalin/Candu signed a framework joint venture (JV) agreement with China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) to build Advanced Fuel CANDU Reactor (AFCR) projects in China and develop opportunities for it globally. An AFCR project in China or in third markets would be worth several hundred million $ in contracts for Canadian CANDU equipment suppliers.
