Abstract

in China and major achievements made in 2017. In nuclear power construction
and operation, the scale of operating nuclear power plants grows steadily, and their

operation are safe and stable. As of the end of 2017, the total installed capacity of
operating nuclear power plants ranks fourth in the world. In 2007 alone, the total
generation of nuclear power plants in commercial operation ranks third in the world,
without operational events of scale 1 or above in the International Nuclear Event

Scales (INES); China is in the world leading position for the scale of nuclear power
plants under construction, and all projects are orderly underway; As of the end of

2017, the scale of nuclear power plants under construction still ranks first in the
world. In scientific and technological innovation, China's independent-innovation
capability has been greatly improved, self-developed third generation technologies

represented by HPR1000 and CAP1400 have taken shape. Meanwhile, the HTR-
PM project has been orderly underway, and the R&D and demonstration project of
SMRs have achieved diversified development. In the field of nuclear fuel, China's

nuclear fuel cycle capability has been further strengthened, which comprehensively
supports the sustainable development of nuclear power; the quaternity natural uranium
supply and security system combining "domestic mining, overseas development,

international trade and strategic reservation" has been gradually improved; the nuclear
fuel processing capability has been continuously improved, with important technical

breakthroughs made in some key areas. In 2017, the uranium conversion production
line was completed and put into operation, which makes China among countries with
ten-thousand-ton uranium conversion capacity; the spent nuclear fuel and radioactive
wastes have been effectively controlled. In nuclear equipment manufacture, the nuclear

equipment manufacturing capability has been continuously improved, breakthroughs
were made in key equipment localization. The localization rate of indigenous 1000

MWe nuclear power equipment has reached 85% or above. The complete plant
manufacturing capability has formed on a considerable scale, with annual major
