Chinese nuclear fuel meets nation's needs

Li Guangchang, director of the nuclear fuel division of China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) said in Chengdu last Sunday that CNNC, as the only supplier of nuclear fuels to China, is qualified to develop China's nuclear power industry and make contributions to the nationalization of nuclear power.

Li said that to promote the development of the nuclear power industry in China, CNNC has already established and implemented plans. "We will continue to provide qualified products to our users, ensure safety in supply, and contribute to the development of China's nuclear power industry."

Jianzhong Nuclear Fuel Component Company under CNNC, the only manufacturing base of Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) nuclear fuel components in China, has the most advanced technology in the country. The quality of its subassemblies are world standard. According to the general manager of Jianzhong Nuclear Fuel Component Company, since his company established its first production line of PWR nuclear fuel components in 1986, it has provided all kinds of fuel components-from 300 MW to 1000 MW-for all the operating PWR nuclear power stations in China. None of the 3000 series of fuel components it has produced have broken, proving that they can be operated safely, stably, and economically.
