High-temperature Reactor R&D
The development of high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGR) in China began in the 1970s and was included in the national 863 Program in 1986. In January 2003, HTR-10 was connected to the grid at full capacity. In February 2008, the State Council approved an overall plan for the implementation of the HTGR nuclear power project, which aims to build a 200 MWe commercial modular HTGR demonstration plant with domestically developed technologies, based on the 10 MWt high-temperature gas-cooled experimental reactor already in operation. In the past decade, important progress has been made in the construction of the HTGR demonstration plant, including the development of key equipment and its testing, production of fuel elements and the development of certain general-purpose technologies. The 200 MWe demonstration plant is expected to be connected to the grid in 2021.
高温堆技术研发
中国高温气冷堆技术研发始于20世纪70年代，1986年列入国家“863”高技术计划。 2003年1月，HTR-10实现满功率并网发电运行。 2008年2月，国务院批准了《高温气冷堆核电站重大专项总体实施方案》，以已运行的 10MWt高温气冷实验堆为基础，建成具有自主知识产权的200MWe级模块式高温气冷堆商业化示范电站。10年来，在高温气冷堆核电站示范工程建设、关键设备研制、试验验证、燃料元件生产及共性技术研发等方面都取得了重要突破。200MWe级模块式高温气冷堆商业化示范电站将在2021年并网发电。
