International Cooperation

NPP News

That happened in November:

Seven Keys to SuccessIn 2013, China and France will complete their first thirty years of cooperation in the use of nuclear power. This anniversary follows the signature of the tripartite cooperation agreement on a mid-size Gen 3 reactor between Areva, EDF and CGNPC on October 19.

These thirty years of cooperation relied on strong support from the French government, its utility (EDF), its manufacturing companies(Areva,Alstom) and the French industry in general symbolized by the France-China Electricity Partnership (PFCE).

During the thirty years following the first cooperation agreement, French industry has established a strong localization with solid partners in China, both countries organized numerous technical seminars, shared laboratories, and finally both countries will soon promote a common technology and investment abroad. In December 2009, Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang and French Prime Minister, François Fillon, discussed future cooperation between the two countries, on nuclear fuel reprocessing, personnel training and research on Gen 4. A few weeks ago, Premier Wen Jiabao restated to President François Hollande the importance of this strategic partnership between the countries.

We will describe seven keys of this success in China.

November 22, 1982, the first milestoneIn 1982, the CEA signed a cooperation framework with the Chinese Ministry of Nuclear. One year later, EDF, China Light and Power, and Guangdong Nuclear Power Joint Venture Company started the Daya Bay project, and in 1994 Premier Li Peng inaugurated Daya Bay NPP.

At that time, China was not the market we see today, and France was the only country that took the risk to share a sensitive technology with China. This strategy to import the French expertise in the long term is tangible and can be perceived today in various fields of the nuclear market. Let’s just name a few examples:

• Daya Bay: Construction of the first 900 MW nuclear power plant.

• Areva--Dongfang: The first Joint Venture for the primary pump with DEC.

• AFCEN: Regular seminars on Nuclear Safety, standards, codes and qualification.

• EDF: The first western Investor in a nuclear power plant as an operator.

• IFCEN: Set up of the first Sino-foreign nuclear engineering institute in Zhuhai.

• ACPP: The first nuclear company localized in Taishan Green Area.

• WECAN: The first engineering company involving Areva and CGNPC.

• CANBERRA: The first company to provide equipment and service of nuclear detection, radiation measurement and nuclear security with the China Institute of Atomic Energy.

• Onet Technologies: The first company to sign an agreement with CNPEC that covered Europe and China, for the decommissioning of nuclear installations, decontamination and nuclear waste treatment.

Key 1: Due to the sensitive nature of nuclear power, the government directly encourages its nuclear industry to lead the path in the cooperation in various fields.

Daya Bay: a mutual benefit for the French and Chinese industriesThe training of engineers at EDF for the Daya Bay project and the transfer of expertise to CGNPC reinforced the expansion of the French codes, qualification and standards in China as well as the promotion of the French safety and operation references.

The involvement of the French industry in China is firstly measured by the number of HAF 604 certifications (33%) granted by the safety authority (against 20% to US companies and 17% for German companies). Most of the nuclear power plants being built in China, including the AP1000 and VVER, import French equipment and components.

In that regard, the PFCE is very active in the promotion of codes, standards, and qualification. For example, in March this year, the China Nuclear Energy Association and EDF hosted the Sino-French Seminar on Nuclear Equipment Manufacturing Quality Surveillance in Beijing (1) with the participation of AREVA and PFCE.

PFCE members localized their equipment to support the Chinese Nuclear Program. In 2009, the delegations of PFCE and GIIN (French Nuclear Industry Association) visited Haiyan (Zhejiang Province), where the biggest nuclear industrial park in China was being built. The delegation signed a Letter of Intent for promoting cooperation in nuclear related industries with the local government. In 2011 PFCE signed a tripartite agreement with Taishan Municipality and CGNPC.

Key 2: Various industry associations exist, including: Nuclear Suppliers Group (USA), the Nuclear Industry Association (UK), Organization of Canadian Nuclear Industry (OCI), Spanish Nuclear Group (Spain), and Finnuclear (Finland). None of these signed a strategic agreement or had partnership with the industrial parks, therefore cannot understand the local demand. Their members will rely on their sales forces or international biddings. The foundation of a dedicated association to the Chinese market will generate synergies between the members and the domestic industry. Upstream, the training on Codes, Qualification and Standards is essential to promote the industry.

Editorial 6

EDF in China: committed to partnershipMr. Jean-Claude Prenez will explain in this edition the involvement of PFCE and EDF in China, from Daya Bay to Taishan.

Beside its investments in Taishan, EDF’s work is reviewing the qualification of local suppliers.In parallel EDF is supporting the PFCE (Partenariat France Chine Electricité).

Furthermore, EDF twins its plants with the Chinese counterparts, such as CGNPC Hongyanhe and CIVAUX, to strengthen international cooperation and improve the management capacity for its units operations effectively.

Areva in China: a technology provider and major fuel supplierThe relations between Framatome, (later Areva) and China illustrate the industrial success. Areva is involved in China in the fuel cycle, reactor design, key element manufacturing and supply chain assessment.

This special relat ionship is direct ly marked at the top management of CNNC and CGNPC:

1.In the nineties Jean-Claude Leny, former president of Framatome, kept strong relations with Wu Yi and Jiang Zemin.

2.In 2011, the meeting in Hong Kong between He Yu and Luc Oursel illustrated the scope of cooperation such as in uranium exploration, promotion of the phase two of Taishan nuclear power project and research on new nuclear reactors.

3.In February this year Mr. Lv Huaxiang, Deputy General Manager of China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), met Senior Executive Vice-President of Areva, Mr. Philippe Samama, to consider other fields of interest such as DCS cooperation, and talked with Mr. Yang Changli, Vice General Manager of CNNC, and Mr. RémyAutebert, Vice President of Areva in June.

Ambitious transfers of technology: The construction of the heavy component facility of Nansha. The objective of Nansha facility is to build heavy components from the main primary system of a nuclear steam supply system. The facility, based on the standards of the facility of Chalon/Saint-Marcel is designed to manufacture two complete nuclear steam supply system per year during its first years of operation.

Nansha is a symbol of successful localization because since 1978 many Chinese leaders visited the Chalon/Saint-Marcel plant such as Ku Ming (Vice Minister in Charge of the Plan), Wang Quanguo (President of GNPJVC), and Zhu Rongji. This facility was targeted as a key project in the Chinese market.

In terms of technical support, we can refer to two cases, in Nuclear Safety and Fuel Technology.

Mr. Dai Zhonghua, Assistant to the General Manager of Daya Bay Nuclear Power Operations and Management Co., Ltd. (DNMC), was invited to Munich a few months ago to attend the “Safety Alliance” program, developed by Areva after the Fukushima disaster to help utilities demonstrate and upgrade the safety of their nuclear plant fleets.

And in July 2012, CGNPC Uranium Resources Co., Ltd. signed a Nuclear Fuel Technology Support Agreement with Areva to

provide technology support for nuclear fuel for CGNPC’s NPPs.

Key 3: A strong engineering and technology provider must maintain a persistent relationship with the leaders of CNNC, CGNPC and SNPTC to define and monitor a common strategy.

Key 4: The technology provider must accept the transfer of one of its proven technologies in order to sustain its business in China.

Key 5: The engineering company must enhance the scope of cooperation and involve its Chinese partners in overseas projects.

Alstom: Partnership and LocalizationAlstom sets a high standard for sourcing and logistics processes as well as strong project and quality management.

Alstom is renowned in China for three major sets of equipment: its 1,750 MW Arabelle turbine, the Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG), and the Liquid Purification Equipment.

Alstom is part of a consortium comprising two subsidiaries of CGNPC: China Nuclear Power Engineering Co., Ltd. (CNPEC), and China Nuclear Power Design Co., Ltd (CNPDC). On Alstom’s side, most projects are led by Alstom Turbo machines group (TMG) business, including its local engineering office Alstom Wuhan Engineering and Technology Co (AWEC).

The localization of the speed rotor 1100MW generator was transferred to China National Erzhong Group in August 2009, and continues to follow Alstom’s technical standards.

Since 2010, the 6300 kilowatts 1E emergency diesel generator has been designed and developed by a consortium of Alstom, AWEC, MAN Diesel and Shaanxi Diesel Heavy Industry Company. Alstom supplies the EDG to almost all the major NPPs in China, such asTianwan, Ningde, Fangchenggang, Yangjiang, and Fuqing.

Key 6: The equipment manufacturer should create a consortium to share the responsibility and limit the risks of being copied. The transfer of standards requires great effort but guarantees the safety of the equipment manufactured.

Key 7: Strong local engineering (such as AWEC) is required to keep the edge and continue to provide upgraded technology.

More can be written about the scope of the cooperation, but our editorial team has chosen to interview the main stakeholders involved in the birthplace of the first Sino-French major project: Daya Bay. Sir Michael Kadoorie, Son of Lord Kadoorie has kindly accepted to give us his insight and the involvement of China Light and Power in this first project.

Mr. Jean-Claude Prenez, the president of the Sino-French Electricity Partnership explains the overall relation of PFCE and EDF from Daya Bay to Taishan.

Mr. Pierre-Yves Cordier, Nuclear Counselor at the French Embassy in Beijing, gives us an overview of the relationship between the CEA and the Chinese counterparts.

Areva gives us an overview of its activities in China.

Note: (1) 140 representatives from 56 enterprises attended the meeting. Nine companies, including National Nuclear Safety Administration, China Nuclear Power Engineering Co. Ltd (CNPEC), China Nuclear power Engineering Co. Ltd (CNPE), Dongfang Electric Corporation, Electricité De France (EDF), Areva, VELAN, SGS Industrial Service, Bureau Veritas, made reports involving Sino-French surveillance requirements in nuclear equipment manufacturing, company owners’ practice, etc.

8 Interview of the Month

Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station byThe Hon. Sir Michael KadoorieChairman, CLP Holdings Limited

Introduction

After launching its first nuclear submarine in 1971, China decided to develop nuclear power for electricity generation. The policy of “Walking with Two Legs” was adopted, viz, by importing foreign technology and by development in China. The Ministry of Water Resources and Electric Power (MOWREP) was given the responsibility of developing nuclear power by importing the technology. The latter approach, on the other hand, led to development of the 300MW pressurised water reactor at Qinshan Nuclear Power Station by the Ministry of Nuclear Industry.

The cooperation between CLP Holdings (CLP, previously called China Light and Power Company) and the Chinese Mainland started in late 1978 when China adopted the Open Door Reform Policy. It started with the supply of power to Guangdong where there was an acute shortage. Immediately following this ice breaking project, CLP entered into discussions with Guangdong on further cooperation which led to the development of the 2 x 980MW Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant in the 1980’s.

Since commissioning of the Daya Bay plant in 1994, it has become one of the most successful foreign joint ventures in China. This article gives a brief account of the development of Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station, the benefits the project brings to Hong Kong and the Mainland and the key to its success.

Lord Kadoorie’s Vision

CLP’s business in China started with a vision conceived by Lord Kadoorie, then Chairman of CLP, in the early 1930’s – interconnection of the CLP system with that in China for supply of power to Guangdong. The motive behind Lord Kadoorie’s initiative to cooperate with China, apart from commercial considerations, was to do everything possible to preserve the special relationship which existed between Hong Kong and China. To him, Hong Kong had, at the time and to all intents and purposes, become the free zone of China under British management and Hong Kong’s survival depended on its ability to merge its thoughts, interests and desires with those of the Chinese. In his view, Hong Kong existed because of its usefulness both to China and to the West. The immediate problem then was how to maintain and enhance that usefulness so as to preserve Hong Kong’s special position during the transition stage and hopefully well into the next century. Lord Kadoorie, on several occasions, made the analogy that Hong Kong stood on three legs, the first – its relationship with China, the second – its relationship with the UK and the third – the ability of the Hong Kong Government to meet the demand for better living conditions and future prospects of a better educated and more sophisticated younger generation.

Electricity Supply to Guangdong

Lord Kadoorie’s dream did not come true until March 1979 when the CLP system was finally interconnected with that in Guangdong and started to supply electricity to the province. “Today, we have created a bond of friendship and understanding which far exceeds the physical supply of electricity by CLP to Guangdong. It offers a hand of friendship and understanding and shows our desire to cooperate to mutual advantage in advancing China’s Four Modernisation Programme.” said Lord Kadoorie in his speech at the CLP–Guangdong Interconnection switching-on ceremony held at the CLP Kwai Chung System Control Centre on 31st March, 1979. “The Agreement we have reached will not only provide much needed electricity which is the life blood of industrial development, but it also provides a link whereby CLP could, in future, receive power from yourselves’, Lord Kadoorie added.

This ice breaking project marked the beginning of a series of cooperations between CLP and the Mainland which made CLP the largest foreign investor in the Chinese power sector.

Development of Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station

CLP entered into discussion with MOWREP and Guangdong Electric Power Bureau (GEB) in June 1979 on the joint development of a nuclear power station in Guangdong to supply electricity to Hong Kong and the province. A joint feasibility study was conducted and the report was completed in December 1980. Following detailed review by the Chinese authorities, the feasibility study report was approved by the State Council in December 1982. Joint venture contracts and offtake agreements were negotiated and were signed in January 1985 in Beijing. The joint venture company, Guangdong Nuclear Power Joint Ven tu re Company, c o n s t r u c t e d a n d commissioned the plant in February 1994.

Entering into the joint venture was a bold step by CLP because this project had special features which could take it out of the scope of CLP and into the realm of Government: (a) high capital cost, est imated a t US$4 billion (b) power from the nuclear power station was to be sold across the border to Hong

Kong, thus involving both the Chinese and Hong Kong Governments (c) the consequential liability of nuclear incidents could be very heavy and might eliminate the whole of CLP’s capital. Without the vision of Lord Kadoorie and CLP’s commitment to the Mainland, CLP could not have undertaken the project. The CLP team was headed by Lord Kadoorie and Sir William Stones (then Deputy Managing Director) who were closely assisted by Mr. Steven Poon (then Divisional Manager – Planning & Systems), Dr. Y. B. Lee (then Chief Planning Engineer) and others.

Financing

The project was financed by shareholder’s investment and loans. The debt to equity ratio was 9 to 1. MOWREP/GEB and CLP injected equity in RMB and USD respectively. Long-term RMB loans were provided by Chinese banks and foreign currency loans were obtained from international and Hong Kong banks guaranteed by Bank of China and the export credit agencies of the exporting countries. Foreign currency loans were repaid using the proceeds of an offtake agreement between CLP and the Joint Venture Company under which CLP would purchase 70% of the electricity output.

Equipment

The choice of equipment for Daya Bay was affected by political, economic, financial as well as technical considerations. At the time when the feasibility study was conducted, US suppliers were banned from exporting nuclear technology and equipment to China. The US government required a formal agreement for exchange of nuclear technology between USA and the purchasing country. There was no such agreement between China and USA at the time and the US Government insisted on non-proliferation and nuclear inspection. Under these circumstances, CLP and MOWREP/GEB decided to use French nuclear reactors based on the following rationale: (a) whilst other potential suppliers such as USA, UK and USSR were bound by the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty, France was not. (b) France would not require nuclear inspection and they could supply the equipment with loans. (c) French 980MW pressurized water reactors were proven and were suitable for the CLP/Guangdong power system. With Hong Kong being a British colony at the time, it was politically desirable for UK to be involved with the project. CLP and MOWREP/GEB agreed that provided that UK turbine-generators were competitive in price and quality, they should be used in the project.

Nuclear Safety

Adopting the right safety standard for Daya Bay was crucially important. Not only would it affect the cost and availability of the plant, it would also affect the acceptability of the project to the Hong Kong citizens. After detailed review of the safety standards in USA, Germany, UK, Japan and France, CLP and MOWREP/GEB decided that the design and construction of the nuclear power station and its management and operation should accord with the nuclear safety codes, guidelines and standards of IAEA and those of China and France.

Meeting with Chairman Deng Xiaoping

After signing of the joint venture contract, the CLP delegation met Chairman Deng Xiaoping on 19 January 1985 in the Great Hall of the People. At the meeting, Chairman Deng expressed his gratitude and appreciation to Lord Kadoorie and CLP for their positive and friendly attitude towards China and for investing in the Daya Bay project at the time when other investors were afraid and hesitant. Chairman Deng said that the Daya Bay project was an extraordinary

one, being the largest foreign joint venture in China. It would not only contribute towards the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong by boost ing the confidence of the Hong Kong people, but would also link the economies o f Hong Kong and the Ma in l and beyond 1997. Chairman Deng further stated that China’s Open Door Policy and that of attracting foreign investment were long-term strategies and that these policies would not change after 1997. Lord Kadoorie responded that he was very glad to participate in the project where socialism and capitalism worked together for the benefits of China, Hong Kong and the world at large. He expressed his wish that both parties would continue to walk down the road of cooperation and witness the success of this project. Chairman Deng Xiaoping and Lord Kadoorie agreed that when Daya Bay was commissioned, they would hold a celebration party together and use the project as a model of China’s Open Door Policy. Sadly, whilst Chairman Deng Xiaoping lived to see the commissioning of Daya Bay in February 1994, Lord Kadoorie missed the appointment by 6 months. He will, however, always be remembered for his vision and the vital role he played in the Daya Bay project - without which the joint venture would not have been realised.

Achievements and Success Factors

Since commissioning in 1994, Daya Bay has been operating safely and reliably with a world class record of nuclear safety and plant performance. On average, the power plant generates 15 billion Kwh of electricity per year, 70% of which is supplied to Hong Kong and 30% to Guangdong. To produce the same amount of electricity would consume 5 million tons of coal, emitting 15 million tons of carbon dioxide, 77,000 tons of sulphur dioxide and 60,000 tons of nitrogen oxides. During the joint venture, CLP has been adding value to the joint venture through active participation in the management and operation of the plant, including the establishment of good corporate governance, financial management, safety culture, internal control etc. The joint venture has also been the breeding ground of nuclear engineers and operators who are now working in other nuclear power plants in China.

Success of the joint venture is attributed to the following key success factors: (a) Good partnership with shared long-term vision and strong commitment to success (b) proven technology (c) strong emphasis on quality management, training and development and (d) strong Government support.

Based on the success of the joint venture since its inception in 1985, the joint venture term has been extended by 20 years to 2034.

Concluding Remarks

Daya Bay is one of the largest and most successful foreign joint ventures in China. Since commencement of operation, Daya Bay has been operating safely and reliably with a world class record of nuclear safety and plant performance. Being the first large scale commercial nuclear power station in China, Daya Bay has provided a solid foundation on which the ambitious nuclear power development programme for Guangdong and other parts of China is founded.

10 Interview of the Month

Interview withJean - Claude Prenez,President of PFCE

D P S : C o u l d y o u t e l l u s s o m e o f y o u r background? When did you join EDF and tell us about your first projects?

Jean-Claude Prenez: I joined EDF in 1975, at the Equipment Division based in the engineering center in Clamart. This department was working on the initial series units. I was lucky enough to be involved at the end of the project 900MW of Fessenheim NPP, and from the beginning in the 1300 MW, which was important for the localization of the PWR in France. In particular I was on the safety related auxiliary system we localized at that time. I went on the site of Paluel NPP after the full assessment, that is to say, from the procurement to manufacturing control.

The startup of the first unit of Paluel, the first 1300 MW in France, occurred before South Texas NPP (USA), its reference unit. It was a fantastic experience on the site. I was primarily responsible for the Nuclear Island erection and secondly responsible for testing and commissioning.

Then I spent three years in Daya Bay until the installation of the dome of the reactor building and returned to France to continue my career on Cattenom NPP as site deputy manager. Afterwards, I became head of the power generation unit for CRUAS 3 and 4.

One year after that, in 1992, I was asked to return to China, in the operation department. I was involved in the management of the operation for three years, and I was technically in charge of the operation preparation. From this moment, we built a very strong relationship with the team that currently leads CGNPC.

DPS: In January 2013 China and France will celebrate their 30 years of cooperation in the nuclear power industry. The first project was Daya Bay in 1986. EDF was involved both in engineering and operations. What was your feeling when Daya Bay started its operation?

Jean-Claude Prenez: I switched to Daya Bay in 1986, in the first team as a construction manager. Herve Machenaud directed the Technical Division. We were integrated in a French-Chinese team located at the customer’s, Guangdong Nuclear Power Joint Venture Company (GNPJVC). In the organization there were Chinese Mainland and China Light & Power (CLP) from Hong Kong. There were a project department, operation department, quality department, etc.

EDF had several missions, mainly the technical management, which was responsible of the classic nuclear work, including construction. I came here for the start-up of the secondary excavations.

The first concrete day was August 7, 1987, inaugurated by Vice Premier Li Peng, and Lord Kadoorie, the CEO of CLP.

EDF was also in charge of civil engineering and BOP. Framatome was in charge of the nuclear island, GEC had the conventional island, and there were civil work and erection companies. Campenon Bernard (now belonging to Vinci Group), Huaxing, Maida Construction from Japan, and China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) executed the civil engineering. Spie-Framatome and China Nuclear Industry 23 Construction realized the nuclear erection.

Shandong Electric Power Construction was in charge of the conventional part with the support of GEC. A Beijing company with the support of Bechtel was responsible for the BOP.

In this joint venture, if you look at the owners, from the Chinese side there were representatives of the Nuclear Energy and of the ministry of electricity beside CLP. In the Organization chart, CLP had jobs and positions, especially in the contract department, with a strong influence from Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB). Bechtel was responsible for the QA. There were also several people who came from Bechtel for individual project management and construction of the BOP. In technical management we had to work with all these units.

Daya Bay is a brilliant idea. In 1986, to build a turnkey nuclear power plant in China, with integrated teams is fantastic. Therefore it has been heavily invested in training for operation, which allowed reach the performance that we see today.

They started on a good basis and continue 30 years after. It is a willingness to work together, to use a reference. This strong cooperation was based on the operation, because the Chinese knew they were going to operate the plant for 40 years.

When I arrived there I was quite young, I was 35, the whole team here was young, but experienced. The Chinese had experienced people from the engineering institutes and young people for operation. All these young people became directors with 25 years of experience in the nuclear relays. We were the first team.

I came back for the start-up, that's when the links were woven, because when you start up a unit, it is a team project.

11 Interview of the Month

I never had any doubt about the success of Daya Bay. It had a well-proven reference (Gravelines), we involved the best French enterprises, and the involvement of Alstom at the end of the project was a great help. Alstom had the experience of the French fleet. This project was perfectly managed. There was a small hurdle during the erection of the first unit but the start-up brought confidence in the Chinese team. The construction required foreign teams, but at the end only the Chinese would operate this plant. EDF had the duty to train the operators and the le premier chef de centrale (power plant director) . EDF sent its best experts to guarantee the success of this project, by 1997 the power plant director was Chinese. From 1992 to 1995 we had a major responsibility, and the start-up was the core of our friendship. This explains the relation between CGNPC and the French nuclear industry.

The current management team comes from the operations. Mr. He Yu was chief supervisor, Mr. Zhang Shanming was safety technical advisor, Mr. Zheng Dongshan was also safety technical advisor and Mr. Gao Li Gang was an automation engineer. EDF trained hundreds of Chinese engineers in France, mostly for the operation.

DPS: You indicated in “Le Chemin Partagé”, that during the construction of Daya Bay, your colleagues from the mainland, Hong Kong and the US have impacted EDF’s quality control requirements in regards to forms and standards.

Jean-Claude Prenez: EDF and Framatome brought the technology and know-how. Our colleagues from CLP were extremely rigorous on the contract side. This project required very high quality because it was international. France had just finished the construction of the 900 MW, yet we were quite used to the 1300 MW. The human aspect in nuclear energy is very important, including during the project phase. These are complex projects that require wide expertise, there are many interfaces to manage that require the involvement of people in the long run. Making concrete, forging a vessel, can only be made by people. In the overall nuclear process, there are many interfaces, equipment, stakeholders yet people are at the center of the decision process. Therefore, experience is most important.

Generally this project was based on excellence because the client had very high requirements and all sections wanted to meet these requirements. This mix of culture helped us to experiment with a new way to proceed, and every person that worked on this site learned additional expertise in quality, surveillance, erection and civil engineering.

Everything was rigorous, in particular due to the language. Take, as an example the workers involved in the construction, or in the erection most of them did not speak English. In that regard, everything was structured to keep a traceability of the quality control. We also had a pedagogic duty, we had to prepare for the start-up, therefore we had to formalize. Even if many of our Chinese colleagues learned to speak French, we had to pay attention to the way documents were written. In particular, for most of them, it was their first nuclear power plant. This international agreement requires a very rigorous logistics system because we had to finish this project on time. Moreover, by that time, the Internet was non-existent and the phone seldom available.

DPS: The Ling Ao project started in 1995, one year after Daya Bay was operating to the grid. What kind of adjustments did you have to operate for both units?

Jean-Claude Prenez: I left for Gravelines as deputy powerplant director and later I was power plant director at Chooz.

Chooz was the first N4 series unit, and EDF asked me to go back to China. At that time, Ling Ao 1 was in construction, and I returned at a senior management position. In China the owner of the nuclear power plant is dedicated to each project. For Ling Ao 1, the owner was LANPC. CLP was not involved.

On Ling Ao 2, Alstom installed the turbine Arabelle, which increased the output by 100 MW (10% if the electricity output) compared to Ling Ao 1. Arabelle is by far the more advanced turbine in the world. After the experience feedback from Chooz, the design of the turbine has been improved and validated, being an incomparable product.

EDF had digital I & C on Chooz and Civaux N4 series. This experience and expertise were important for Ling Ao 2. LANPC also decided to install a digital I & C.

Nuclear Power and Formula 1

Nuclear power can be compared to Formula 1: Very high exigency of cleanness and quality. A well maintained piece of equipment could provide a higher output. An outage can be compared to the “F1 pit stop”, the main difference is that we must comply with regulations for the review. The outage is a very important milestone, with a dedicated maintenance team.

DPS: Did you notice major differences in the management between Daya Bay and Ling Ao?

Jean-Claude Prenez: We used our experience on Gravelines to advise CGNPC to have only one dedicated operation team for Daya Bay and Ling Ao. I’ll give you an example. In Gravelines, we started units 1-4 at the same time, and later at 5-6, we clearly saw a cultural discrepancy between both entities.

Daya Bay management went to the US and other countries to have their own benchmark. The management saw the difficulties of maintenance in the US because many units were scattered, and they saw various culture and management perspectives because the essential aspect is common safety, the more coherent you are, the higher your safety culture is. This is the reason that INPO has been created in order to fill the gaps, Daya Bay was aware of this issue, and with EDF experience feedback I helped them to create DNMC common operation company for Daya Bay and Ling Ao, at the same time we were in the start-up phase of Ling Ao. DNMC is a highly professional company, and today its management understands what the management of a fleet is, like in France.

DPS: After Ling Ao, there were no more projects in China for a while, what was your strategy to expand in the market?

Jean-Claude Prenez: After I came back to France,

Page 12: Your Window to the Chinese Nuclear Market

12 Interview of the Month

I was appointed at the generation Division involved in the international market. At EDF, the management was considering its new positioning in China. In 2000 we signed a long-term agreement on operation cooperation. We have been partners for more fifteen years, and we wanted to create a new type of partnership rather than contract support based. We wanted to give a new spirit to our long-term cooperation.

During the years 2003-2004, both Chinese and French were thinking to the “after Ling Ao” and EDF wanted to go global.

From 2003, there were not many projects. On the partnership standard, we and Areva proposed the EPR to both CNNC and CGNPC. The Chinese thought it was too early and were more interested in our proven model N4. We offered the N4 technology, but after a while the Chinese government decided to launch an open bidding for the third generation technology. This bidding froze the N4 project. During that time, the projects Ling Ao 2 and Qinshan 2 appeared on the market.

The Chinese were looking at the extension of Ling Ao. They improved our technology, and the CPR1000, successor of the M310 was considered as generation 2+.

The Chinese chose to use the EPR I&C architecture. The man-machine interface is essential for a safe operation therefore Ling Ao 2 had a strong French support to design and support their I & C.

The owner of the plant added further improvement and we felt as advisors, the limit of our involvement with our Chinese colleagues. The same story with Areva, because on Ling Ao 2, the primary circuit was almost completely localized. As for EDF, we thought our next step was the investment as operator in the Chinese EPR.

DPS: Most of the nuclear power plants in operation and construction are based on your standards and codes, (except Tianwan 1-4, Qinshan 1 and 3, Sanmen and Haiyang). Which problems could you foresee in China that had already occurred in France?

Jean-Claude Prenez: The ASN (French Nuclear Safety Authority) fears a generic defect in our units. When we discover a problem, we have to check on every unit, which is very costly, in terms of money and availability and require an efficient experience feedback system and a very strong technical management and integrated engineering.

EDF has 58 reactors therefore we have our own system. The ASME is well known in China, but the RCCM is in fact largely used.

LADNPC for LAo2 did not have the specification and decided to go back to the RCCM code.

The French code is extra-rigorous in order to prevent defects. The metallurgy industry is quite used to this: the defects in manufacturing will be revealed one day, and that day the defects will be even more dangerous. The main threat is not during operation because we have automation and other means to resolve incidents, but a defect in the manufacturing process can degrade quite fast and damage a plant ’s operation.

DPS: What are the latest involvements of EDF with CGNPC?

Jean-Claude Prenez: EDF designed a strategy and a project to become an investor in China and expand our business in parallel. The third generation technology bidding delayed this strategy. When the choice of the AP1000 was announced, we resumed discussion on the EPR; the Chinese immediately came back to us, Areva and the French Government for the construction of two units with them. From January 2007, this was a Sino-French project with EDF as co-investor; in November 2007 we created the Joint Venture in Taishan. Areva provided the reactor and the fuel.

In front of Presidents Nicolas Sarkozy and Hu Jintao, was signed the deal for the sales of the reactors, and the Joint Venture and support agreement was later finalized on August 10, 2008, during the Olympic Games. The JV was effective in December 2009, however by the end of 2007, EDF already had already set up its team and at the beginning of 2008 many operatives were on the site of Taishan.

At the same time we signed the Global Partnership Agreement in November 2007, EDF and CGNPC, whose operating experiences are quite similar with an integrated architect-engineer. On October 19, 2012, an agreement between Areva-EDG-CGNPC was signed in Avignon (France) to design a new reactor. The idea is to remain in China in the long term and keep balanced exchanges.

DPS: What about the safety standard of the EPR?

Jean-Claude Prenez: For the EPR: I take the example of Mr. Li Xiaoming from CNNC who visited Flamanville and we compared the buildings. In FLA3 (the EPR) all the pumping station and the Emergency Diesel Group (EDG) building are completely concreted, whereas in FLA2 the EDG cooling systems are installed on the outside. Whether it's a tornado, aggression, terrorism or a war situation, at this moment, the EPR makes huge progress in that it has been designed for its resistance to these external hazards.

I think there is a future for the EPR in China, because this country needs power.

DPS: When did you have your first contact with the PFCE?

Jean-Claude Prenez: I was informed of the existence of the PFCE in 2000, few years after its creation. A PFCE mission that included twenty companies invited me as I was involved in operation and later I made a speech on maintenance. EDF has control of its suppliers, this is the main reason we brought them to China. The nuclear program is slowing down in France; it is essential to expand in Chinese projects. The maintenance market attracts many companies because the French fleet is quite big and requires a large amount of equipment that creates a maintenance industry.

The idea was based on the expansion of the Chinese market and to bring our suppliers to China. If our suppliers could be in the loop, their business would be sustainable, and it is essential for EDF to keep healthy suppliers in order to sustain their know-how.

Page 13: Your Window to the Chinese Nuclear Market

13 Interview of the Month

We knew the market was here, and the specification would be Chinese applied to our suppliers. Looking at the Chinese nuclear plan, we wanted to be sure our suppliers would still be able to provide equipment for our plants in France. In that regard with AFCEN, the French association to edit codes & standards and PFCE, we promote our specifications, codes, standards and qualifications.

DPS: What is the main purpose of PFCE?

Jean-Claude Prenez: The final objective of the PFCE is to provide services and equipment from the French suppliers in partnership with Chinese industry.

China discovers a new challenge: the management of a nuclear f leet. CGNPC is aware of this challenge being the operator of the largest fleet. Its priority is to build new projects, and after their start-up, to guarantee safe operation, high performance and competitiveness. When CGNPC had only Daya Bay, Ling Ao 1 and 2, at the same location, with the same units, it was easier. Now they have to deal with Hongyanhe, Ningde and other nuclear plants with different work cultures and companies. The new challenge is to know how to manage this fleet.

The regulations and processes are important, but the human factor is essential. Behind the operation there is the maintenance.

Maintenance requires a lot of experience.

DPS: What are the main changes you operated in the PFCE?

Jean-Claude Prenez: I took over the PFCE in 2004 and contributed to two focuses:

To offer the largest scope of technology possible: when we met the EPC contractors or design institutes we had to answer many questions related to various equipment, the more we could answer, the more we could promote our equipment. At the beginning we had a lot of valve manufacturers and then expanded to other technologies.

To integrate the maintenance and service, including civil engineering with companies such as EGIS, SITES, APAVE and BV. Nuclear requires this expertise and the French industry is the leader in these fields.

EDF knows these companies and they move alongside our requirements of safety and performance. In PFCE we now have 85 members. Our activity helps us to promote the French industry with almost no advertising. We just need to cover each field of nuclear activities and the expansion with new members helps us to cover all the range.

There are different trends, for example when we leant to service,

Taishan Government & CGNPC & PFCE Signing Ceremony

Page 14: Your Window to the Chinese Nuclear Market

14 Interview of the Month

there was a need of control and inspection in China, and some companies joined because they wanted to set up their business in China. Until Ling Ao 1, they were subcontractors to EDF, Areva and Alstom. From Ling Ao 2 the Chinese prefer to deal directly with every supplier.

These SMEs, very often extremely small, had to deal with a giant buyer, deal with new competitors, and deal with the requirement to localize their product.

Either we work with the Chinese, or we do not. If we prefer to stay in France one day we will not be able to manufacture valves, either we are in the loop of their expansion, or we’re not.

I recently saw machine building enterprises. These were impressive because they mean that market needs are wide.

DPS: How do you become a member of the PFCE and how is it organized?

Jean-Claude Prenez: To become a member of the PFCE is very simple, just fill an application form. I met every new applicant.

The PFCE is a non-profit association, we can be audited and we must pay VAT, our financial management is stringent. We have our internal guidelines, a president, proposed by EDF, a secretary general, who is from EDF, and two vice presidents, Jean-François Sageau, from the company Sites, is in charge of the finance, and Michel Monier from Velan. We have a board and we have four general assemblies every year, around 75% of our members, mostly the CEOs attend the assembly. I was in favor of the general meeting in order to support the exchange of information.

There are three requirements to become member of the PFCE: you must be a qualified supplier of EDF; you must promote French know-how and support employment in France.

We have one special general meeting per year as a think-tank and we visit the factories of our members.

Our board is elected every year and we give our opinions on the new applicant. A company profile is distributed to all attendees and the applicant has to introduce his company. We suggest that each new applicant is mentored by someone at PFCE.

The applicant is subject to questions from the assembly. Our members do not mind the competition, just the mindset of the applicant: what do you want to do in China?

The members of PFCE want to keep this partnership mindset with Chinese parties as the core of our association and we preserve friendship between our members. We have this spirit of “pack hunters”.

When we introduce the PFCE, we introduce every member, even the ones which are absent.

We have a concept of partnership with Chinese entities and of the maximum number of French companies involved.

We think in the long run the market will be more open and with the maintenance and service markets, the operator will not be subject to more localization.

The Chinese want us to set up more factories, we are open to

this, but our members will only come if they have a clear signal of their market. The qualification is expensive the investment is high, the work is consistently rigorous and we are often inspected and assessed.

DPS: Do you meet new kind of applicants?

Jean-Claude Prenez: We see companies from the steel industry such as Vallinox, Mersen, CNIM or l’Union des Forgerons that come to provide mechanical components. Their expertise is also needed in China.

Another example: an integrator, which subcontracted some metal casting in China. As it was complicated to assess the quality and the process, this company decided to make a new order in France. We will also lose some market if we do not innovate. For example, Nordlock is innovating all the time.

DPS: Which type of structure do you suggest to your members? What should be their mindset in China to create business?

Jean-Claude Prenez: The Joint Ventures are a solution but not the only ones in this market. Bernard Controls was a JV and changed as WOFE still in the Bernard group. Many companies are very small SMEs and without their expertise they could vanish. They must protect their expertise. Nowadays, the trend in China is to produce in China, either as a JV, a WOFE or to subcontract.

Except for some niche markets, 90% of our members will set up their factory or offices in China. We are not delocalizing our industry, we are expanding our business.

We lobby for our standards, qualifications and codes. This lobbying promotes the French products

The Chinese want to expand overseas and we are the ideal partners, because they will have problems of language, qualifications, and will need to meet the requirements of the foreign safety authorities. In those regards, we are the ideal partner because our approach is global, and we already help them to set up their own codes and qualification systems. We signed a cooperation agreement with the China Nuclear Energy Association (CNEA) as well as China Nuclear Power Research Institute (CNPRI) for the qualification.

The Chinese will have their qualification process and we must promote our culture, otherwise others will do it, and will take the market if we are not able to meet their specifications.

Finally there is the creation of jobs in France: let’s be honest, without this market, many of our SMEs would just vanish. The Chinese market supports the French nuclear industry.

DPS: Some members of the PFCE have indicated that the Fukushima incident has had a clear influence on the safety and reliability of equipment, therefore more purchasing orders are forecasted. Does the PFCE lobby for the purchase of French products?

Jean-Claude Prenez: In China, Fukushima has been a positive element for nuclear safety, in particular for the design

Page 15: Your Window to the Chinese Nuclear Market

15 Interview of the Month

and manufacture of equipment. It also reinforced the authority of the NNSA and its leader, Mr. Li Ganjie, who is a well-known expert in that field.

Let’s not forget in 2009, there was an assessment of the Taishan site and factories. TNPJVC controls the project; this allowed EDF to assess the quality process.

We lobby at the PFCE for our codes, s tandards and qualification. The Chinese have some space for improvement in manufacturing quality control, and Fukushima helped us to explain the necessity to qualify the equipment. The main outcome of Fukushima in China is that at the end the operator is responsible for nuclear safety and shall be able to select qualified and reliable equipment.

DPS: Does PFCE plan to expand to other electrical markets?

Jean-Claude Prenez: We have been thinking to expand into other power markets in China. But 85% of our members did not want this expansion. You cannot enter the nuclear by yourself, but other markets are mostly led by price and the business is quite open. The energy market is based on strong competition.

DPS: How could you support the inland nuclear power plants’ expansion in China?

Jean-Claude Prenez: The PFCE has a great interest in inland NPPs and we have a large range of suppliers qualified in all corresponding areas Hamon for instance.

On inland issues, we believe that France has extensive experience. The most important is the operation, and we are ready to help because we have sites on many different rivers in France, including with upstream dams, etc. We have a large experience feedback, and we also have sites with lake as a heat sink (Cattenom).

Today, EPR is adaptable to the rivers. We consider that we could bring a strong expertise for inland EPR as well as for1000 MW.

DPS: After the Fukushima accident, safety and quality have been two foci of the Chinese nuclear power industry. Did the Chinese operators ask EDF to provide expertise in flooding incidents? I refer to the incident at Le Blayais in France.

Jean-Claude Prenez: This is exactly in our expertise that we want to expand in this Chinese market. EDF has the biggest operating fleet with integrated engineering, and we will remain more experienced than our Chinese colleagues because our fleet is older and we will create more references as per Blayais, in EDF we are already at the third ten years outage and we prepare the fourth ten years outage in which in EDF we have already taken into account the severe cold (i.e. the frozen sensors during winter 1985-1986). We included the flooding of Blayais that contributed a huge experience, we included the severe heat approach, and we revised the seism criteria. We have a strong safety organization and our Chinese colleagues benefit from our operating experience.

For the outage of Daya Bay, we will support a complete Safety Review of the plant during the second ten years outage. We will not only help to upgrade the design, but also the equipment.

For instance, water is flowing in, there are internal floods; Mecatiss, a PFCE member, creates products that swell with water for sealing facilities. The Chinese were interested by this technology.

We put all of this forward, and I consider France has an exclusive advantage, through its organization, due to its safety standards, its strong safety authority, its own integrated architect-engineer model and our relationship with a large network of qualified suppliers.

DPS: Since 2000, you set up technical seminars for Chinese managers. Can you tell us more about the attendees and the topics?

Jean-Claude Prenez: EDF participates in technical seminars organization, and often we do not need to bring a person from EDF, we mobilise our suppliers from PFCE. We help the Chinese to increase the lifespan of their plant, and the reactors in operation must reach a safety standard equal to the level of new PWRs in construction.

DPS: CNNC and CGNPC plan to export their technology, based on the French reactors, for example in Argentina and Turkey. Do you see any benefit for the members of the PFCE?

Jean-Claude Prenez: The way the Chinese will settle in these countries, depending on the type of contract, either EPC or local industrial development, the Chinese will however use the providers with whom they used to work, which reassures their costs, and quality.

If these suppliers are installed in China, like many of PFCE members, they will be involved further in their projects.

The Chinese suppliers will ally with their French partners in order to be present in international markets for the benefit of both.

DPS: What is the future of PFCE in China?

Jean-Claude Prenez: In the field of high technology, one must provide something global to China. Not especially for the Chinese companies, but all the stakeholders of the market.

PFCE already has twelve members in Guangdong. The Guangdong DRC wants the PFCE to motivate the French companies and increase the number of French companies in Guangdong. We want the members of PFCE to come, but they need visibility and market. If for example there were Taishan 3 and 4 and other sites where EDF would be involved, the PFCE members would have upper confidence; but if there is nothing, no market, why would they invest and set up company?

Two years ago PFCE signed a tripartite agreement CGNPC-PFCE- Taishan Municipality, because the province wants to

Page 16: Your Window to the Chinese Nuclear Market

16 Interview of the Month

Visit of Taishan during PFCE yearly mission in China

be branded as nuclear. Guangdong wants to develop high-tech companies including nuclear. For the moment there are three areas, Shenzhen area that is devoted to Research and Development, Nansha area where there is heavy equipment, such as VALINOX and Taishan area for auxiliary equipment and maintenance. We promoted maintenance in Guangdong and we now urge our PFCE members to settle in the Taishan maintenance market.. ACPP is already there; it is the first foreign nuclear enterprise in Taishan Green Area.

DPS: This partnership may expand to other countries. At the same time, more French manufacturers localize their production in China. Can we foresee China as a springboard to international expansion for the PFCE members?

Jean-Claude Prenez: When we went to South Africa in 2011, we were invited by president-Jacob Zuma to a roundtable on localization.

The theme was labeled "the PFCE example of a successful localization." 50% of our companies manufacture in China, this is not a dream. We live by example.

We saw with our recent presentations in Poland, through this partnership, we promote quality, a French know-how and the team spirit of our members. We do not dictate anything.

We also went to Vietnam, which has been interested in the concept of partnership and our brand.

However, we have to have in mind that China will keep its specificity, due to its size, its evolution, and its uncertainties. China forces us to think collectively, and not to have a single scheme. The main experience we have gained here is the experience of the partnership.

Probably, in many international projects, French and Chinese partners will go together.

DPS:Could you tell us about your background? When did you join the CEA and what’s your actual position?

Pierre-Yves CORDIER: I am a chemical engineer by education. I studied at an engineering school in France and I joined the CEA in March 1991 to write my PhD thesis in the field of nuclear spent fuel reprocessing. The CEA officially recruited me after completing my thesis in 1995. I worked then for five years in the CEA laboratories, essentially in Marcoule in the south of France, studying reprocessing, with a focus on minor actinides’ separation. I left the CEA in 2000 to join COGEMA (now AREVA) where I remained for five years. I was mainly deployed in Japan at the Rokkasho-mura plant, which was built and tested at the time with the help of engineers from AREVA. In 2005, I returned to the CEA in the international affairs department, in charge of relations with Japan, Korea, and also Australia. In September 2007, I was sent to the Embassy of France in Tokyo as nuclear counselor, I stayed there until December 2011. I then moved to the same position in our Beijing Embassy, where I am at the moment.

DPS:Is Rokkasho identical to La Hague?

Pierre-Yves CORDIER:The core process (shearing, separation, purification) is identical to the one in La Hague, since it was built on a technological transfer. We can call the two plants sister plants. One of the few differences is the vitrification facility, which was built using Japanese technology. At the moment, this specific facility has experienced numerous problems, and is still

in a testing phase. As a result, the plant as a whole is not yet operational.

DPS: In January 2013, China and France will celebrate their 30 years of cooperation in the nuclear power industry. The first project was Daya Bay in 1986. What role did the CEA play in this project?

Pierre-Yves CORDIER: The “memorandum for electronuclear cooperation” opened the way for the Daya Bay project. It was signed on May 5th, 1983. Interestingly, one of the Ministers who signed it for France was a young Minister of Research and Industry, Laurent Fabius, who is currently, 30 years later, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. There was previously another agreement, between the CEA and the then Ministry of Nuclear Industry (MNI), signed on November 22nd, 1982. This agreement was more focused on the R&D and institutional relations. 30 years later, it is still in force, having been renewed every 3 years - initially with the MNI, then with CNNC (China National Nuclear Corporation) and now with CAEA (China Atomic Energy Authority). We are currently negotiating the 11th protocol agreement with CAEA.

DPS: Is the CAEA your counterpart ?

Pierre-Yves CORDIER: As a government body, and for institutional relations, CAEA is our counterpart. But for the R&D work, we have other agreements and collaborations in the framework of the CEA-CAEA agreement, which serves as an umbrella or framework agreement.

For example, we have created several associated research laboratories, associated with different matters with the relevant Chinese institutes:

-On reactor physics and severe accidents with the CNPE.

-On thermo-hydraulics with the NPIC.

-On fast reactors with the CIAE.

-On geological storage with the BRIUG.

-On materials ageing under irradiation with the RIMPO.

These laboratories are exchanging data and sometimes personnel, and conducting regular meetings together.

To give you an idea, during those 30 years of cooperation over a few hundreds Chinese scientists have been seconded to CEA laboratories. I would like to mention that we have also La Hague Plant Source from AREVA

DPS: Are these different sectors part of the protocol signed with the CAEA?

Pierre-Yves CORDIER: The protocol signed between the CEA and the CAEA is a comprehensive protocol that could cover everything. For the moment, most of our cooperation with the CAEA and CNNC remain in the nuclear industry as explained above.

But the involvement of the CEA in China is not limited to our cooperation in this framework. The CEA has other agreements with other organizations in China, including the China Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the MOST (Ministry of Science and Technology).

The CEA is also directly or indirectly l inked with some internationally associated laboratories, which are Franco-Chinese research structures involving many partners in both countries. For example, a couple of months ago I attended the official ceremony for the launching of such a structure called MONOCL, dedicated to the study of monsoon, ocean and climate studies. Practically, French and Chinese teams are conducting drilling campaigns on the basement of the South China Sea in order to study the paleo-climate. But there are also others involved in particle physics, organic chemistry, etc. As you see, we are quite far from nuclear activities!

DPS: Education is one of the focal points at the CEA. In 2010, the Sino-French Institute of Nuclear Engineering & Technology (IFCEN) was established with the Sun Yat-Sen University. Could you tell us the role of the National Institute for Nuclear Science and Technology (INSTN) in this new entity?

Pierre-Yves CORDIER: Indeed, education is an important task at the CEA, and training and dissemination of knowledge is recognized as one of its core missions. Very early in the history of the CEA, the INSTN was created to ensure proper education in the nuclear field. Since it is a part of the CEA, many teachers are in fact scientists and engineers working at the CEA. This makes the INSTN the reference school for nuclear education.

So, when the idea of a Sino-French school dedicated to nuclear education began to be circulated, it was natural for the INSTN and the CEA to take part in it.

The Sino-French Institute of Nuclear Engineering and Technology (IFCEN) was thus created in 2010 in Zhuhai, as a partnership between the Sun Yat Sen University for the Chinese side, and for the French side there is a consortium of several institutions, the Grenoble National Polytechnic Institute (Grenoble INP) being the representative of the different institutions: the INSTN, the Ecole des Mines in Nantes, the National School of Chemistry in Montpellier, and the National School of Chemistry in Paris.

DPS: Who funds the Institute?

Pierre-Yves CORDIER: For the moment, the funding is equally divided between the Chinese and French partners. On the French side, industrial companies like EDF, Areva and Test of solar panel at INES source from CEA

cooperation agreements with the MOST and the CAS, for different subjects, essentially on non-nuclear activities.

DPS: In 2009 the CEA changed its name to the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission. Does this new name help the CEA to expand its scope of cooperation with China?

Pierre-Yves CORDIER: Indeed, the CEA changed its name to the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission. The primary mission of the CEA was (and still is) centered on nuclear

R&D, but over the years, the CEA developed strong skills in new and renewable energy.

Let me give you a brief picture of the CEA: my institute is now an organization with around 16,000 employees, active in low-carbon energies, information and health technologies and defense and global security. The CEA also operates very large scale facilities, and is closely involved in technology development and transfer. If we are talking about alternative energies, the CEA is a leading R&D institute in France on energy efficiency (smart grids…), solar energy, hydrogen (fuel cells), biofuels and energy storage (batteries). The INES (National Institute for Solar Energy), for example, was created in 2005 with a significant involvement by CEA.

Page 20: Your Window to the Chinese Nuclear Market

20 Interview of the Month

Bureau Veritas are contributing to the funding.

DPS: Will the degree be recognized in both countries?

Pierre-Yves CORDIER: The idea is to deliver Chinese diplomas, recognized in both countries. Of course, IFCEN is in China, so the degree will be a Chinese one. But it will also be valid in France as a degree from a school of engineering, which we hope will be recognized by the relevant body (CTI). Everything should be in place soon, because the engineering cycle will start for the first class in September 2013. Each graduating class comprises around 100 students, so with the curriculum spanning over 6 years, in September 2016 when the first class will graduate, the school will have around 600 students.

DPS: Will this program be replicated, or will you stay exclusively with Sun YatSen?

Pierre-Yves CORDIER: There are no plans at this time to duplicate the project. I think before considering a new project, if there really was a need to grow, the easiest way would be to increase the number of students per class.

DPS: This training request originally came from where?The Department of Education?The operators?

Pierre-Yves CORDIER: This is a common interest for both countries: China wants to have trained engineers with a French nuclear background. France remains the main nuclear reference for China and for the rest of the world. As for France, we export our expertise in education and our French companies located in China will have access to a pool of Chinese engineers who are well trained, speak French, and thus have a triple Sino-French-nuclear culture. For Areva, EDF, and our SMEs this triple culture is a godsend! This will also be beneficial to all the Chinese companies working with French ones, whether as clients or partners in Joint Ventures like CGNPC. For me, and my predecessor who worked very hard on this project, it is really a great achievement and a living proof that the nuclear cooperation between France and China will be strong in the future - what better way than creating a school to prepare for the future?

To create a school in China, dedicated to nuclear education, with French teaching methods, seemed the best way to satisfy the huge need of China for its ambitious nuclear program. It would not have been possible to train so many people in France.

The education at IFCEN works on the principle of the French “Grandes Ecoles”, or engineering school: three years of intensive study in maths and physics, and three years of engineering school. Plus, the Chinese students of IFCEN have to learn French in the process, which is not an easy task!!!

There will be also some R&D activity attached to the training, as it should be for an engineering school. This is currently under development, and meaningful research can be done for example in the field of modelisation, sensors, materials, safety, etc…

I try to go there on regular basis, and when French personalities visit Taishan, they come to IFCEN to give lectures. The latest to date was a commissioner from the French Nuclear Safety

Authority (ASN) in April 2012, Mrs. Marie-Pierre Comets. She lectured in French, and these students understood and asked questions in French. That is outstanding!

DPS: In that regard, what is the main difference with the International Institute of Nuclear Energy (I2EN) that provides education for foreign students?

Pierre-Yves CORDIER: Well, the I2EN is not really a school per se or a training institute. It provides foreign partners of France the best training solutions for human resources development in nuclear energy. Here is how it works: I2EN receives training requests from foreign countries via government or industry channels, analyses it and then prepares a tailor-made proposal based on the specific needs identified. I2EN also maintains a complete and updated register of the nuclear training courses available in France in order to allow individuals who are interested in pursuing their nuclear training in France to find the best solutions for their needs.

The strength of the I2EN is to be at the nexus of all the parties involved in nuclear training in France: more than 15 universities or engineering schools, industrial companies (including Areva and EDF…), and research agencies (including CEA, CNRS and

Inauguration of IFCEN Source from the INP Website

ANDRA) under the supervision of the relevant French ministries. In total, 27 partners are gathered in a council of partners, chaired by the High-Commissioner of Atomic Energy.

DPS: Since when did the I2EN exist?

Pierre-Yves CORDIER: The creation of I2EN was announced by the then President Sarkozy in March 2010 at the “International conference on access to civil nuclear energy”. It was operational a few months later, in September 2010, and officially inaugurated in June 2011. Since the Fukushima accident, nuclear perception around the world has changed, and everybody has heard about countries which decided to quit their program or shelve their planned development, including Italy, Germany, and Switzerland. The reality is that many more countries, and China in the first place, confirmed their nuclear plans or commitment, including Russia, UK, Poland, Vietnam, Turkey and the UAE. So, the I2EN remains completely relevant even in the post Fukushima era, all the more because the first line of safety is to have people trained in the best way possible.

The I2EN is here to meet this demand, contributing to enhancing safety globally.

DPS: The CEA is particularly known for its expertise in the fast breeders. In 2004 Mr. Zhang Huazhu, was the Chairman of China Atomic Energy Authority (CAEA). He met with Mr. Jacques Bouchard, Director of Nuclear Energy Division. One of the major topics was the involvement of China in the Generation IV International Forum. Five years later, CNNC president Sun Qin and your chairman Bernard Bigot signed a cooperation agreement on the fast reactor. What is the outcome of this cooperation?

Pierre-Yves CORDIER: Indeed, China joined the Generation IV International Forum (GIF) when J. Bouchard was chairman of the forum. It was very important that a country with an ambitious nuclear program and a closed cycle nuclear policy join the GIF.

F r a n c e h a s a l o n g h i s t o r y o f developing fast reactors, with Phoenix and Super Phoenix being the most well-known ones. Both countries are still developing the technology, France with its ASTRID (Advanced Sodium Technological Reactor for Industrial Demonstration) project, and China with the newly build CEFR of the CIAE. We have a long history of cooperation in the field of fast reactors. I visited the CEFR twice, and had the honor of meeting the chief scientist, Xu Mi, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the most well-known scientist for fast reactors in China. He has many friends in France. At the moment, the cooperation is going well. For example, a meeting took in place in China a couple of weeks ago for the

exchange of information between teams of CIAE and CEA.

Our two countries will continue to cooperate in the future. France will hopefully get the green light to continue with the ASTRID project in a couple of months. The reactor might be operational in the 2020s. As for China, it has numerous projects, like the building of a more powerful reactor, the CDFR, or the building of two Russian base fast reactors, the BN800.

DPS: Is China investing in the Jules Horowitz Reactor (JHR)?

Pierre-Yves CORDIER: The JHR is a 100 MW material testing reactor (MTR) that allows reproducing on a small scale, real power plant conditions (and in some cases more severe conditions) for material screening and characterization and fuel element qualification. It will be useful for R&D on Gen II (material aging), Gen III (fuel and material) and even Gen IV.

The CEA decided to build that equipment, and to make it available internationally, in order to have a base in the future for reactor material and fuel R&D, since all the currently available MTRs in Europe (and in the world) are quite old, with more than

40 or 50 years-service.

JHR will be a fantastic tool for nuclear R&D. I visited the site about a month ago, the project is still in its civil engineering phase, but this phase is well advanced. When we decided to build the JHR, the CEA wanted it to be open to the world from the beginning.

Any institute, company, or utility who wants to be part of the JHR consortium will manage the access rights to the experiments and have a say about the JHR’s operation. Of course, this consortium’s memberships needs an investment. The JHR will be managed by the CEA at the Cadarache center. EDF and Areva participate in the project. There will be several levels of openness. If you are a member of the consortium you can perform your own research, your results will be your property, and because you are an investor, you'll have preferential access time. You can also embark on joint programs with others, or if after any team wants to undertake a research program it will be like all international instruments: you submit a proposal, which is reviewed by the consortium’s board, and finally it is granted or not. JHR will be in operation in 2016.

DPS: Chinese companies, such as Dongfang Electr ic, Shanghai Electr ic and Haerbin Electric face issues in the manufacturing and qualification of equipment for the GEN 3, could they invest in RJH?

Pierre-Yves CORDIER: Yes, if they want to, they could. The JHR consortium members are of diverse origin. For non-French members, we have, for example R&D, organizations (including SCK in Belgium, DAE in India and VTT in Finland), industrial companies (Vattenfal from Sweden), and national consortium (CIEMAT for Spain). So, it is possible for a foreign private company to join the consortium, whether a manufacturer or a utility.

DPS: The emergency evacuation plan was cited many times in the new plan: “nuclear safety and prevention and treatment of radioactive pollution”. The CEA has created the Formation Locale de Sécurité (FLS), an emergency team, quite well known in Marcoule. Do you have any cooperation with your Chinese counterpart in this area?

Pierre-Yves CORDIER: The FLS is indeed a key component of any CEA center, in charge of the security of the center, and ready to act in any emergency situation as the first reponse team. A more general note, after Fukushima, all the responsible bodies for managing emergency situations asked themselves the same question: "What would we have done in a similar accident?" And honestly, I think no country can say that its response to an accident of the magnitude of Fukushima would have been conducted without problem. This was a major disaster, an earthquake triggering a tsunami, and both combined leading to the nuclear accident. All the nuclear community will continue to learn from this accident in the years to come, but already some lessons and actions have been implemented. In France for example, EDF is implementing its Rapid Action

Nuclear Force (FARN). The French utility will set up equipment centers that would be capable of making additional cooling and electrical power equipment available within less than 24 hours for any site.

Safety being a concern for all the countries with nuclear power, there are numerous exchanges and discussions on the subject of the post Fukushima improvements. Of course, on an international level, the IAEA is a natural forum for these discussions. But on bilateral level, France and China are also exchanging information.

Recently a mission of the National Nuclear Emergency Response Operation Center came to France to see what we do, and this delegation met with the ASN, the Institute of Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN), who showed its crisis management center, and also EDF, who introduced its FARN concept. There is at the moment a global reflection from all nuclear stakeholders in each country, and good ideas and practices are being exchanged. The crisis response is an essential element of nuclear safety. I think cooperation is in the interests of all, the best nuclear safety is a common goal, and there is an interest of all countries to share good ideas and best practices.

DPS: Can you ta l k abou t the ongo ing discussions between Areva and CNNC about a potential reprocessing plant in China?

Pierre-Yves CORDIER: According to the joint declaration of our two governments in December 2009, Areva and CNNC are discussing the possible construction of a treatment-recycling plant in China. That would be the equivalent of La Hague plus Melox. This is a huge project, and I really hope it will be a reality one day. The two companies have a lot of issues to discuss, and a special agreement also has to be negotiated between China and France. So, there are a lot of contacts and discussions, everything is progressing slowly but steadily.

DPS: Are the companies that manufacture components for reprocessing plants and equipment for nuclear power plants usually the same?

Pierre-Yves CORDIER: To build nuclear power plants is a real industrial business: there are around 440 reactors in operation around the world, around sixty in construction, 40% of them in China. This is a mature industry which is strictly controlled. Reprocessing is much less common. The Areva La Hague is more or less now unique in the world in that operates without trouble on an industrial and commercial basis. China and France have both decided to implement a close cycle policy for their nuclear fuel.

As for the industrial companies that are building a reprocessing plant, it is possibly a once in a lifetime experience, with equipment that is tailor-made. For example, the shearing machine (a piece of equipment that cuts the spent fuel into small sections of a few centimeters in length) and the rotary dissolver into which these small pieces fall to be dissolved into a hot nitric acid solution are unique but very complex and resistant equipment that is essential to the plant, but built basically only once.

Page 23: Your Window to the Chinese Nuclear Market

23 Interview of the Month

This being said, the companies involved in the nuclear fuel cycle are not so different from the ones involved in nuclear power plant construction. In both cases, you need high-tech components, matching the top quality requirements that are the norm in the nuclear world. For example, the companies that built the Rokkasho-Mura reprocessing plant are essentially Toshiba, Hitachi and MHI, the same ones that are involved in making and designing nuclear power plants.

DPS: Who leads the reprocessing project in China, Areva or the CEA?

Pierre-Yves CORDIER: The discussions are between Areva and CNNC, according to the common declaration of both Chinese and French governments of December 2009. The project being an industrial one, Areva has the operating knowledge base having been successful during many years of operation at La Hague. But the chemical process the plant is using was of course developed by the CEA. Also according to the joint declaration, there should be a specific intergovernmental agreement between France and China for this project to be realized, and CEA will take an active part on the French side for the discussions leading to this agreement.

DPS: Research at the CEA led to the creation of start-ups and patents, which are used by foreign and French companies. Is China developing a similar system?

Pierre-Yves CORDIER: Every country faces the same problem, that is to say, how to move from basic research and development to a finished product. We call this the Valley of Death: how to move from R&D with public funding to a prototype with private investors, and then to a full marketable product. This is a key point in the innovation process, and whether or not you’re well equipped to cross the Valley of Death is the difference between success and failure. At the

CEA, we have the Technological Research Division (DRT). Its field of competency is to facilitate the transition from R&D to industry, through close relationship with industrial partners. Its three institutes are dedicated to microelectronics and nano-technology (LETI), software intensive systems (LIST) and alternative energies and nanomaterials (LITEN). I have to mention that around 150 start-ups were created in the process, one of the best examples is SOITEC, which has a turnover of more than 300 million Euros.

The DRT is also considering possible collaborations with industrial and R&D partners abroad. A successful strategy has been put in place in the USA and Japan, with young engineers being sent to map the ground, understand who the key actors are and how they work, and determine if some kind of partnership can be forged. A DRT representative just joined my team a couple of months ago, and she is now actively working on these key elements. So it is difficult for me to answer right now, because we are just at the beginning of our understanding of how China deals with this matter.

DPS: What do you think of the Sino-French relationship will be in the nuclear industry in the future?

Pierre-Yves CORDIER: I talked extensively of the long history of cooperation in the nuclear field between France and China. We are now at a turning point because China has the most ambitious nuclear program in the world and because there will be a transition to Gen III reactors for new projects, as the State Council decided last October.

France on its side built its nuclear fleet mainly in the 1980’s, and now has 58 reactors, producing around 75% of its electricity. So, there is an almost perfect match between France, the well experienced and state of the art technology bearer, and China, the young and ambitious nuclear power plant builder. The EPR that are being built in Taishan by CGNPC, EDF and AREVA are a perfect example of Sino-French cooperation. These 3 partners are now discussing

together about a new project, a new 1000MW class reactor, which could represent the best know-how and cooperat ion of both countries.

But the partnership between France and China is not only on reactors, but also on the front end and the back-end as it was mentioned before. It is a balanced partnership that both countries discuss at the highest level.

All in all, I am confident that France and China have a bright future for nuclear cooperation, as successful as the last 30 years. For my part, I will work to achieve this goal, and hope that my successors 30 years from now can congratulate themselves on what will have been accomplished!

Beyond the 27 new construction projects currently under way, China also has to secure uranium supply and address local manufacturing capabilities if it wants to attain energy self-reliance. Long-term partnerships and technology transfers are key in that respect. France-based nuclear equipment and fuel vendor Areva is today one of China’s most important partners supporting the country’s nuclear industry in its ramp-up toward energy self-reliance.

Deyang

After the first 25 years of cooperation,Areva entered a new phase, in which the key point is our common willingness with our Chinese partners to approach the international market together and help them achieve self-reliance in their domestic market,” said Marc Andolenko, former president of Areva China. “New kinds of partnerships needed to be developed now that include engineering, but also procurement for reactor design. The WECAN JV set up in 2009 is a perfect illustration of these deeper partnerships.”

That JV, set up by Areva and Guangdong Nuclear Power Corporation (CGNPC), was created to provide support in engineering and procurement of the nuclear island for future Chinese NPPs, as well as for potential EPR reactors abroad. Today, the JV counts more than 350 employees and, when fully functioning, will be the biggest partnership of its kind in the nuclear field in China.

Reactor construction

Two EPR reactors are currently being built in Taishan, Guangdong province. Today, two CGNPC subsidiaries are involved in the project’s construction consortium. Areva, in charge of the nuclear island design and procurement, leads the consortium comprising China Nuclear Power Engineering Company (CNPEC) that shares procurement and delivery responsibilities with Areva, and China Nuclear Power Design Company (CNPDC) for engineering and design. With the latter, a Joint Design Organization (JDO) has been created

in Shenzhen, gathering Areva and CNPDC engineers under Areva’s responsibility for the Taishan 1&2 projects.

“Chinese participation in Taishan is extensive and deep in all major areas,” said Andolenko. “CGNPC engineers are conducting very significant work—about 1.5 million hours in both Europe and China—and have participated in the detailed design of the EPR reactors built in Taishan.” Over 2008–2011, more than 190 CGNPC engineers have integrated Areva’s teams as

part of the French nuclear group’s self-reliance programme to work on the different phases of the projects and gain experience. Contractually, 25% of the global engineering workload is to be realized by the Chinese engineers.

Both units are on budget and on schedule, with 85% of the procurement orders and 69% of the engineering under Areva’s scope completed as of January 2012. The unit 1 reactor pressure vessel was delivered on site and the reactor building dome was installed in October 2011, only 24 months after first concrete (versus 47 months at the first-of-akind Olkiluoto 3 project in Finland). “The learning from the previous EPR projects has been fully integrated into the Taishan project,” said Zheng Dongshan, deputy general manager of CGNPC in a recent Areva interview, crediting its success to the EPR fleet series effect and CGNPC’s close collaboration with Areva (go to www.tinyurl.com/7zpfpg2 and click on ‘play animation’).

30 years of cooperationAreva was one of the first foreign partners of the Chinese power industry and has continuously contributed to the development of the country’s nuclear industry since their first collaboration in the mid 1980’s with the Daya Bay nuclear power plant (NPP) project, followed by the Ling Ao NPP project, co-located in Shenzhen, Guangdong province.

“Directly and indirectly, Areva has been involved in six of China’s 15 currently operating NPPs,” said Areva China president Marc Andolenko. Today, 19 of the 26 Chinese reactors currently under construction are using Areva technology, notably through the deployment of the Sino design CPR- 1000, an evolution of the Daya Bay and Ling Ao I Areva designs.

With a strong and growing presence in China comprised of more than 850 employees across 12 locations, Areva has established several joint ventures with China’s key nuclear players in the fields of primary pumps manufacturing and in-core instrumentation.

Areva Dongfang (AD JV) was set up in 2005 with Dongfang Electric Corporation (DEC). The 50/50 JV established for primary pumps manufacturing regularly supplies today reactor cooling pumps to the main Chinese utilities. Sixty pumps are in the current backlog and a plant extension is planned to start in summer 2012 to answer the increasing demand.

In 2010, Areva and Guangdong Nuclear Power Company (CGNPC) set up the Beijing Reactor In-core Control (BRIC) JV for engineering and development of core instrumentation systems for PWRs. With two major orders already signed in 2011, first equipment was delivered at the end of 2011.

With regard to procurement, thanks to the long-lasting and uninterrupted partnership with the Chinese nuclear industry, 30% of the main components in Taishan’s unit 1 have been manufactured and installed by Chinese companies; most of unit 2’s heavy components will be manufactured in China. Beyond the construction of the two EPR units in Taishan, Areva will supply the first two fuel cores and 17 reloads, and provide enriched uranium over 15 years, making the EPR Taishan contract the biggest ever signed in nuclear power.

Another compelling example of the Chinese ramp-up to self-reliance is the completion in 2011 of the Ling Ao phase II projects. CGNPC, supported by Areva, took the lead for the completion of the second unit that star ted commercial operations in August 2011.

Front-end fuel partnerships

The Chinese market for nuclear fuel is likely to grow strongly given the large nuclear power programme currently deployed in China. China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) alone estimates its annual requirements for zirconium tubes at 1500 km by 2015, and 2000 km by 2020. To answer the need and ensure security of fuel supply, long-standing partners Areva and CNNC created in 2010 a joint venture to manufacture and market zirconium tubes for PWR fuel assemblies.

CNNC Areva Shanghai Tubing Co., know as CAST, is a 50/50 joint venture between the Areva and CNNC respective subsidiaries: CEZUS, the world’s leading manufacturer of

Taishan EPR unit 1 reactor building dome installation,October 2011. Image courtesy EDF / TNPJVC

zirconium components, and Shanghai Gaotai Tubing Company Ltd (SGTC), specialist in the manufacture of zirconium tubes. The CAST JV will produce the cladding tubes for the two manufacturing plants for fuel assemblies in China, CJNF in Yibin, Sichuan province, and CNNFC in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, whose production is exclusively dedicated to the Chinese domestic utilities.

Currently, the CAST plant’s 70 staff are being trained by Areva’s teams. The plant will be operational by the end of 2012, and will progressively ramp up from 300km tubes/year in 2011 to 1500km tubes/year in 2015, when it should employ 140 people. In July 2011, CAST qualified for Zircaloy 4 tubing for Qinshan reactor type. In October 2011, the JV delivered its first reload to the Qinshan plant, Phase I (reload number 13).

The creation of the CAST JV marks a new step in the cooperation between Areva and CNNC. In the field of fuel design and manufacturing, the two companies have been working together since 1991 and implemented two technology transfers.

The first technology transfer signed in May 1991 was for AFA 2G fuel assemblies, and included the supply of required equipments for manufacturing fuel assemblies as well as technical assistance for the CJNF plant. Qualified in 1996, the plant delivered its first AFA 2G reload the same year. Areva and CNNC collaboration continued with the AFA 3G design implemented from 1998. Today, CJNF supplies all of the fuel needed for the PWRs at the Daya Bay/Ling Ao and Qinshan, Zhejiang province, sites as well as for the new CPR1000 plants.

The CNNFC plant, fruit of three years of close cooperation between Areva and CNNC, received its certificate of qualification for AFA 3G fuel assembly production in April 2010. Fitted with Areva’s latest French and German technological advances, the plant is cur rently manufacturing its first fuel assembly reload for the Qinshan 3 reactor. At present, Areva supplies 100% of the imported key components used in AFA 3G assemblies, which are used in most Chinese Gen II PWR reactors. In 2011, the group posted a record total of components delivery to China equivalent to about 1600 fuel assemblies and associated control rod clusters, representing 30 reloads for a 1000 MWe PWR.

Moving forward, Areva will support CJNF in its project to extend capacity to 400 tons per year, and CNNFC for the creation of a grid manufacturing unit. These new projects further reinforce Areva’s position as a major player to accompany the growth of the nuclear fuel market in China and strengthen production capacities for cladding tubes.

27 New Regulation

Summary of the

The 12th Five-Year Plan and the 2020 Long-Term Goal for Nuclear Safety and Prevention

and Treatment of Radioactive PollutionFollowing the re-start of the Chinese nuclear energy program, Dynatom has summarized the safety plan that’s setting a new path for the industry. The article below has outlined the most important points made in the document alongside the relevant changes in nuclear energy and its future opportunities.

Preface

The CPC and the State Council have always attached great importance to nuclear safety allowing China to maintain a good safety performance in the utilization of nuclear energy and technology. However, due to the Fukushima accident, arrangements were made in order to enhance nuclear safety plans even further. The plan analyzed China’s nuclear safety’s vulnerability and considerations were made in regards to the principle of “safety first, quality first”.

1.Current Status and Situation

Currently, the industry plays a vital role in optimizing its energy mix and reducing pollutant emissions. Now, after the Fukushima accident, it is crucial to further safeguard nuclear safety and prevent radioactive pollution by facing the new challenges confronted by the industry.

1.1 Positive Progress in Nuclear Safety, Prevention and Treatment of Radioactive Pollution.

1.1.1 The Safeguard system for nuclear safety tends to be perfect.

With reference to the IAEA standards and countries developed in the nuclear energy, China established a standard system of nuclear safety covering various nuclear facilities and activities. Since 2003, China has established legal and regulatory instruments to direct nuclear safety. Furthermore, a safety management system was also set-up for emergency response in case of accidents. Review and supervision capacity, safety culture and monitoring networks were also enhanced over the years so that any nuclear safety risks could be effectively eliminated.

1.1.2 Prevention and treatment of radioactive pollution is in steady progress.

In recent years, China has been enhancing prevention and treatment of radioactive pollution.

Achievements include;

-Decommissioning of earlier nuclear facilities and treatment of

legacy radwastes.

-Decommissioning of a number of smal l reactors and radiochemical laboratories.

-Disposed radioactive sources have been timely collected, and a number of old radioactive devices have been decommissioned.

Overall, the average individual radiation dose is far less than the national limit.

1.2 Challenges of nuclear safety in prevention and treatment of radioactive pollution

1.2.1 The situation of nuclear safety is not optimistic.

The coexistence of multiple reactor types, technologies and standards in China has led to a certain difficulty in safety management. Further improvement shall be made for China’s capacity to prevent and mitigate serious accidents. Some research reactors and nuclear fuel cycle facilities are weak in defense against external events and decommissioning process of earlier nuclear facilities still must be further accelerated. Legacy radwastes needs proper disposal while environmental problems in uranium mining and milling also remain unsolved.

1.2.2 Scientific R&D shall be enhanced.

Overall R&D lacks planning. China suffers from resources disperse, talent shortage and inadequate R&D capacity. Development and revision of regulations and criteria are short of scientific support, and there is a considerable gap between the study of fundamental science and applied technology compared with the advanced international level.

1.2.3 Emergency response system shall be perfected.

Responsibilities for nuclear power group companies in nuclear accident emergencies shall be refined. There is a lack of emergency support system within a nuclear power group companies causing an inadequate system in reserve and allocation of emergency resources. Furthermore, the capacity of local governments to conduct emergency command, response, monitoring and technical support needs to be improved.

1.2.4 Regulatory capacity shall be improved.

Page 28: Your Window to the Chinese Nuclear Market

28New Regulation

The regulatory capacity for nuclear safety is incompatible with the scale and speed of nuclear energy development. There is lack of independent analysis and assessment, means of verification and calculation for site supervision and regulation enforcement. National radioactive environment monitoring system is yet to be upgraded and monitoring capacity requires considerable improvements.

Additionally, education on nuclear safety, international cooperation in nuclear safety and information disclosure must be reinforced. Lack of talent and investment is also an issue.

2. Guiding and cardinal principles and objectives

2.1 Guiding principles

Adhering to the fundamental principle of “safety first and quality first”, directed by laws, regulations and standards, while pioneering scientific progress, China will further clarify responsibility, optimize mechanism, conduct rigid management, achieve sustained improvement, eliminate potential hazard and unceasingly increase and ensure nuclear safety.

2.2 Cardinal principles

• Priority to prevention.

• Paying equal attention to new and old nuclear facilities, and combining prevention with treatment.

• Relying on science and technology to achieve sustained improvement.

• Carrying out rigid regulation by legislation.

• Achieve harmonious development in an open and transparent way.

2.3 Targeted objectives

Overall objective: Further improve the safety level of nuclear facilities and nuclear technology application devices and considerably reduce safety risk of radiation environment. It is also vital to increase capacity for accident prevention, pollution treatment, scientific innovation, emergency response and safety regulation.

Specific objectives:

To improve the safety level of nuclear facilities, good safety performance indicators shall be maintained for nuclear power units in a good state to avoid level-2 incident and ensure no incident or accident happens at level-3 or above. New nuclear power units shall be endowed with complete measures to prevent and mitigate serious accidents to such extent that the probability of serious core damage per reactor-year shall be less than 1/100000 and the probability of significant release of radioactive materials per reactor-year shall be less than 1/1000000. Major potential safety risk shall be eliminated from research reactors and nuclear fuel cycle facilities to ensure operation safety.

In order to improve the safety level of nuclear technology

application devices, 100% license management shall be implemented for radioisotopes and radio devices to such extent that annual occurrence of radiation accidents shall be less than 2.0 per 10000 radioactive sources.

Reducing Safety Risk of Radiation; Eliminate the safety risk of legacy intermediate and low-level radioactive waste and completing a comprehensive uranium mining and milling treatment.

In order to prevent accidents, safety renovation of nuclear power plants, research reactors and nuclear fuel cycle facilities in operation and under construction shall be completed to improve the capacity of nuclear facilities reducing the risk of external events and preventing and mitigating serious accidents.

Pollution Treatment: An advanced and efficient system for radioactive material treatment and waste disposal commensurate to the development of nuclear industry shall be established.

Scientific Innovation: A scientific innovation platform for nuclear safety and prevention and treatment of radioactive pollution shall be perfected, a number of leading talents must be cultivated and breakthrough shall be made in key technologies.

Emergency Response: The capacity of governments at all levels and functional departments in emergency command, response, monitoring, and technical support shall be strengthened to establish a coordinated force in order to act in case of nuclear accident emergencies.

Safety Regulation: A national R&D base for nuclear and radiation safety regulation shall be built. A regulation technology supporting platform must be setup in order to support safety analysis, assessments, and verifications alongside a national radiation monitoring network.

2020 long-term goal:

The safety level of nuclear facilities in operation or under construction shall be raised sustainably. For new nuclear power units to be built during the 13th Five-Year Plan and thereafter, efforts shall be exerted in the design phase to eliminate the possibility of significant release of radioactive materials.

-Overall treatment of radioactive pollution shall be carried out.

-Achievements shall be made in decommissioning of earlier nuclear facilities.

-Safety risk of legacy radwastes must be eliminated.

-The top-level design and underground laboratories for treatment and disposal of high-level wastes shall be completed.

-A national R&D base for nuclear and radiation safety regulation technology and national radiation environment monitoring system must be completely set up.

-A multi-functional, fast-response and efficient nuclear and radiation accident emergency response system shall be formed.

Technical ArticleL-3 MAPPS: COMPACT I/O Solutions

Page 35: Your Window to the Chinese Nuclear Market

35 Technical Article

The input/output (I/O) system is a critical part of any power plant simulator. This system is responsible for relaying operator actions to the simulation and provides the operators with the visual cues(indications and alarms) required to operate the plant. It is essentially the data link between the simulation server running the plant models and the simulator's main control room panels.

In recent years, L-3 MAPPS has deployed several compact I/O systems on various projects. Several years ago, when L-3 MAPPS was made aware by its original I/O equipment supplier announced that several electronic components for the legacy Datapath SC I/O system were becoming difficult to procure, L-3 MAPPS decided to evaluate and select an up-to-date, cost-effective I/O solution for its customers. So L-3 MAPPS conducted a thorough technical evaluation of twenty-three (23) I/O solutions from various worldwide vendors located in countries such as the USA, Canada, China, Germany and Spain. The evaluation criteria included such factors as high reliability, being non-proprietary, high availability (worldwide), large user base, expandability, flexibility (centralized and distributed architecture) and cost.

While L-3 MAPPS sources several different I/O systems as required to best fit the needs of its customers, one of the more widely used solutions is discussed here.

Compact I/O SolutionsAn approach that has been adopted by L-3 MAPPS is to take advantage of compact I/O systems for both full scope simulators and simulator I/O replacement projects. The selected compact I/O solution is actually the smallest modular, fieldbus independent, low power consumption and distributed I/O system available on the market. Two manufacturers offer this innovative technology commonly used in the industrial automation, building automation, marine automation, and onshore/offshore applications: WAGO and Beckhoff Automation. Each manufacturer has dozens of distributors worldwide. L-3 MAPPS has worked with both

L-3 MAPPS has been using compact input/output (I/O) solutions on recent full scope simulators and simulator I/O system replacements.This paper looks at Orchid® IO and describes the wide variety of applications where this technology can be utilized.

manufacturers' technologies on different projects. The small dimensions (approximate) of the I/O modules are impressive: 12mm (W) X 65mm (H) X 100mm (L).

All I/O modules are mounted on a standard 35mm DIN rail without the need for a dedicated chassis or backplane. The first I/O module in a group of modules (I/O node) is always the Ethernet controller which reads/writes to/from the local bus (communication with adjacent I/O modules) and communicates with the simulation server. The Ethernet controller is approximately four times as wide as standard modules and can support up to 255 I/O modules with the use of repeater modules (64 without repeater modules). A bus extender can be added if more than 64 modules are desired on a specific node. The Ethernet controller also has also the capability of running user-programmable control logic that can be utilized to drive special devices that may require faster update rates(e.g. synchroscopes). A wide variety of I/O modules are available for specialized applications to supplement the high density standard color-coded modules such as analog input (up to 8 channels) analog output (up to 8 channels), digital input (up to 16 channels) and digital output (up to 16 channels). For ease of maintenance, the I/O modules have a built-in terminal block such that modules can be replaced easily. All I/O modules use passive ventilation resulting in less cabinet noise than conventional I/O systems.

Orchid @ Input OutputThe Orchid IO solution revolves around the powerful Orchid IO soft ware. The software can run on the simulation server or on a dedicated I/O computer. Orchid IO handles the engineering to electrical unit conversions and communicates with the simulation and the various I/O nodes. Orchid IO includes the necessary features to configure, maintain and troubleshoot the entire I/O system. It allows the hardware engineer and technician to monitor the health and status of all the I/O nodes and to force and monitor individual I/O points. The software also includes detailed historical logs for trouble shooting purposes. Orchid IO is able to seamlessly integrate I/O nodes from different types of I/O systems. Orchid IO is delivered with detailed off-the-shelf documentation.

Orchid® IO can handle different I/O equipment simultaneously

Full Scope SimulatorsL-3 MAPPS built a full scope simulator for Nucleoeléctrica Argentina S.A. (NA-SA) for the Embalse nuclear power plant (Cordoba Province Argentina) using Orchid IO. The Embalse full scope simulator is currently in factory acceptance testing at our facility in Montreal. L-3 MAPPS has also successfully built a second simulator for Eskom’s Koeberg nuclear power station (Western Cape, South Africa) using the same compact I/O technology.

I/O System ReplacementsCurrently, L-3 MAPPS is working on a project with Pacific Gas & Electric to replace their simulator legacy I/O system with Orchid IO for the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant (California, USA). The unique aspect about this project is that L-3 MAPPS designed a custom I/O chassis with connector adapters all owing the legacy I/O connectors to be interfaced with the new compact I/O modules. The compact I/O modules can either be mounted on the chassis itself, in existing racks or on panel cabinet walls as appropriate for accessibility. The main advantage of this solution is that the existing wiring to the panel instruments remains undisturbed.

Orchid IO was also selected by NB Power to perform a progressive (panel by panel) I/O replacement for the Point Lepreau nuclear power plant simulator (New Brunswick, Canada). NB Power elected to perform the upgrade themselves with our support. This project is currently ongoing.

Plant DCS Software ValidationAnother possible application for the compact I/O solution is Distributed Control System (DCS) software validation. L-3 MAPPS delivered to Ameren Missouri’s Callaway nuclear power plant (Missouri, USA) an engineering simulator used for stimulating the Siemens SPPA-T3000 Integrated Control System (ICS) for the feedwater control system before it was actually installed in the plant. The engineering simulator utilized Orchid IO to transfer data between the ICS and the simulation server running the plant models.

The engineering simulator also included a software switch

to select between the simulated legacy feedwater control system, the new simulated ICS or the new stimulated ICS.

Compact I/O solutions have now been proven on full scope simulators with Orchid IO acting as the nervous system. I/O system upgrades are a reality for aging simulators when legacy I/O systems become obsolete and the number of available spare parts is insufficient to ensure continued, reliable simulator operation. L-3 MAPPS’ Orchid IO provides a credible answer to the issue of legacy I/O systems reaching end of life. The solutions offered by L-3 MAPPS are cost effective, reliable, easy to use, flexible, expandable, and take advantage of modern, widely used I/O equipment that are widely used and have with a long life future ahead of it of them.

Fudan University exhibited magic “ointment” on CIIF

During the 2012 China International Industry Fair (CIIF) in November, Professor Yang Zhenguo, together with his team

working in the Department of Materials Science of Fudan University, displayed his independently developed polymer composite adhesive which is able to prevent coating materials on key parts of nuclear power equipment from corrosion, thereby significantly reducing the risk of harmful substances leaking owing to erosion therefore considerably improving the synthetic safety margin of the nuclear power plant.

Fudan University’s experts warned that some heat pipes which have been proven good abroad for more than 40 years may not suit China’s conditions. After a series of materials testing and trials conducted by Yang Zhenguo and his team, they created the polymer composite adhesive which can be spread on the “easily bruised skin” of heat pipes as an ointment. It is technically named as “multi-component multi-functional block polymerization blending resin” that is an ideal material used for the surface coating engineering of the heavy anticorrosive equipment and pipes.

found, Xinhua News Agency learned from the Ministry of Land and Resources. The cumulative amount of uranium resources controlled by this area, together with a previous discovery, ranks as world-class. It is of great significance for China to base its nuclear power programs on the domestic supply of uranium resources and to improve the resource support capacity for nuclear power development.

Owing to the innovative idea of “Exploring Coal and Uranium Simultaneously” suggested by the Central Geological Exploration Fund, the exploration team conducted radioactivity logging and cataloging to explore the sandstone uranium deposit at the same time when they drilled for coal exploration. After they have targeted a series of potential uranium areas, they will immediately begin their prospecting.

During this exploration, there were 4 exploration teams, 28 sets drilling rigs and over 500 technicians and constructors from China National Nuclear Corp., China National Administration of Coal Geology and Department of Land and Resources of Inner Mongolia as well as the Bureau of Geology Exploration in Inner Mongolia. Under their common efforts and the guiding of the new prospecting idea, they not only evaluated an extensive coal mine with a total resource of 51 billion metric tons but found a super-large uranium resource, thus they have saved a great amount of investment and also shortened the exploration period. It is anticipated that this uranium ore will help achieve significant economic and social benefits, especially in the development of China’s nuclear power.

China’s Nuclear Power Industry Likely to Face Adjustment

China Power Investment Corp. (CPI), which exclusively controls the construction of nuclear power programs among China’s five large power generation groups, is listing for sale its Liaoning Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. The fact that CPI “abandoned” its affiliated enterprise does not indicate its intention to pull out of the nuclear power field; instead it reveals a strong signal: China’s nuclear power industry is likely to be adjusted, CPI consultant Xiao Han stated.

Firstly, approval for the coastal nuclear power projects sees the restart of nuclear power development. A majority of the plants along the coast are busily preparing to go into construction and it seems nothing can stop the growth of nuclear power. The two tycoons in the nuclear power field-CNNC and CGNPC will certainly benefit considerably with its monopolistic advantages further expanding their market shares; while conversely, some medium-sized and small enterprises are doomed to be ejected from the nuclear market, thus the structure of the nuclear power industry will be more “singular”.

Secondly, the fact that inland nuclear power projects were temporarily shelved will aggravate some enterprises’ financially. Most of the inland nuclear-related enterprises had invested heavily in technology and talents before the State Council released its new plans. If they exit now, it will be impossible for them to recoup their considerable investments.

Lastly, the future of China’s nuclear power is more and more ambiguous. It is well known that “removing nuclear” is an

objective worldwide; it is doubtful that parts of nuclear programs will be immediately restarted. If nuclear power accounts for a significant proportion of the energy architecture, why not approve the inland nuclear programs as soon as possible?

Green-light to the New Nuclear Programs

During the State Council Executive meeting recently convened and presided over by Premier Wen Jiabao, the “12th Five-Year Plan for Energy Development” was discussed and approved alongside the “Plan for Nuclear Power Safety (2011-2020)” and the “Plan for Nuclear Power Development in the Mid-Long Term”.

The conference mapped out the development of nuclear power in the short and long term: During the period of “12th Five-Year Plan”, a limited number of nuclear power plant sites can only be selected from coastal areas rather than inland; the threshold has been increased for new nuclear program approval and new programs are obliged to be in compliance with the strictest safety requirements. Moreover, all new nuclear units must satisfy the Generation III safety standards.

Professionals disclosed that the passing of the two plans mentioned above means that there are actually no policy obstacles in green-lighting the new nuclear programs and the nuclear power construction has been fully restarted after it was “frozen” over a year an a half ago due to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.

The construction is expected to be resumed soon with a scale of 4,400MW units. Judging from the current situations of the units that are under construction, 40,596MW nuclear units will be built by the year of 2015 and there still remains 28,000MW capacity to be completed.

In the short term, parts of nuclear projects whose reactor-type isn’t controversial are anticipated to be approved ahead of time, such as the Shidaowan High-temperature gas-coolant reactor program, Tianwan VVER project and the Fuqing CPR 1000 project.

China Experimental Fast Reactor Project Passed the Acceptance Check

The China Experimental Fast Reactor (CEFR) project has passed the acceptance check organized by China Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST). The establishment of the CEFR means that China’s nuclear power development has made a significant breakthrough in the “Three-Step Development Strategy”--“Pressurized Water Reactor--Fast Reactor—Fusion Reactor”. At the same time it indicates that China has reached the international advanced level in research and development of the Generation IV nuclear power technology and has grown to be one of the few countries which have mastered fast reactor technology.

It is reported that fast reactor is the preferred reactor type in the advanced Generation IV nuclear power system for its characteristics of high-usage of uranium resources, nuclear waste transmutation and high safety levels. It represents the development direction of the Generation IV nuclear energy system. The thermal design power of CEFR is 65 MW and electric power 20 MW. Being one of the few CEFRs with superpower and power-generation functions in the world, its main system settings and preferences remain the same as the large-scale fast reactor plants.

China Experimental Faster Reactor program is specifically under taken by the China Ins t i tu te o f Atomic Energy (CIAE). CIAE invited several hundred domestic institutes to participate in the research and development and also have a close international cooperation with some overseas research institutes such as Russia. Working together, they subsequently completed the preliminary research, design, construction and commissioning.

Wan Gang, president of CIAE revealed that it has achieved many innovative accomplishments via the R&D and construction of CEFR and has realized the self-research, self-construction, self-operation and self-management of the experimental fast reactor. China has been equipped with a complete research and development capacity and a group of technical talents. As the advanced high-tech platform, CEFR will continue to make contributions to the fast reactor technical progress and the sustainable development of nuclear energy.

On the basis of this CEFR platform, MOST and CNNC are continuing to back up the CIAE to develop the key technology for Demonstration Fast Reactor, MOX fuel, after-treatment and so on, aiming to realize the industrialization of China’s fast reactor and to established China’s advanced nuclear fuel cycle system.

Moreover, in order to push the commercial progress of the fast reactor and to create an industry chain, China has founded a technical innovation strategy alliance for fast reactor industrialization, taking the lead from CIAE with over 50 relevant institutes participating.

Shangdong Province’s Nuclear Power Construction Accelerated: Two Nuclear Power Projects Approved

The nuclear power project construction in Shandong Province has been speeded up recently. Huaneng Shandong Shidao Bay nuclear power plant is expected to start construction in the middle of December this year, being the second plant to be put into construction following the Yantai Haiyang Nuclear Power Plant in Shandong Province.

During the State Council’s executive meeting: “Plan for Nuclear Power Safety (2001-2020)” and “Plan for Nuclear Power Development in the Mid-Long Term (2011-2020)” it was discussed once again and approved. It points out that China will resume the normal construction of nuclear power projects, however, only a few coastal projects are allowed to restart during the period of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”. Moreover, new nuclear units must be subject to Generation III safety standards.

Because Shidao Bay nuclear power plant is compliant with these conditions it was able to be approved.

Until now, there have been two nuclear power projects in Shandong Province “breaking the freeze” of nuclear power programs among the three large nuclear power projects—Haiyang Nuclear power project, Shidao Bay project and Hongshiding project.

Hopes Postponed of Approval for Restarting Inland Nuclear Power Programs

The State Council’s: “Plan for Nuclear Power Development in the Mid-Long Term (2011-2020)”, clearly announced that China will steadily restart its nuclear power project construction but will not relaunch the inland nuclear power programs before 2020. Therefore, the inland nuclear power programs will continue to await their approval for restart until the release of the energy policy during the “13th Five-Year Plan” period.

Lin Boqiang, the director of the Energy & Economic Research Center at Xiamen University, said in an interview: “Although postponing the inland nuclear power programs will slow down our nuclear power development’s progress, nuclear security should come first, so it is reasonable for China to make such decisions”.

Following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, the State Council instantly suspended the approval of most nuclear projects. However, due to the uneven distribution of energy resources, many inland provinces lacking conventional energy are frequently confronted with the power shortages. It is obvious that to construct nuclear power projects inland will be necessary in the future when China’s nuclear power matures.

In the following three years, the three major inland NPPs—Taohuajiang nuclear project in Hunan Province, Xianning nuclear project in Hubei Province and Pengze nuclear project in Jiangxi Province, will have to re-focus their of work on scientific research for the programs, modification of plant designs and maintenance of the plant.

It is predicted that up to the end of 2011, Taohuajiang nuclear program had received investments of about RMB 3.8 billion;

the Xianning program had investments of about RMB 3.4 billion;

Pengze nuclear project’s investment also reached RMB 3.4 billion by May 2012.

It is reported that Hunan Province is able to build about 10 nuclear power plants. Between 2015-2030 is expected to be a peak season for Hunan Province in nuclear power construction.

likely to be the first new programs launched after ratifying the “Plan for Nuclear Power Safety (2011-2020)” and “Plan for the Nuclear Power Development in the Mid-long Term (2011-2020)”.

It is acknowledged that Tianwan NPP is a strategic cooperation project by China and Russia and due to its location in Lianyungang Tianwan in Jiangsu province it also satisfies the conditions of site selection suggested by the State Council. “With high security, reliability and full preparation, Tianwan NPP in all likelihood will be the initial program” said Lin Boqiang, the director of China’s Energy & Economic Research Center in Xiamen University. He said that Tianwan NPP Units 3 and 4 might start construction by the end of this year. Conversely, the original design of Tianwan NPP belongs to Generation II Technology which is not consistent with “New Units must meet the Generation III safety standards”, so before the restart for Units 3 and 4, they will have to transform into Generation III technology, that is to say, the finance put into the technical design and equipment installation will greatly increase.

Statistics show that currently the installed capacity of those in operation reaches 12.56 million KW and that of those under construction 29.44 million KW. The objective of 40 million KW installed capacity by the end of “12th Five-Year Plan” can be realized, while the total installed capacity by 2020 cannot exceed 80 million KW concerning the cautious attitude of the state council for the approval of the new nuclear programs, predicated Mr. Lin.

大亚湾核电项目:中法工业互利共赢的举措

EDF 为大亚湾核电项目培训工程师并向中广核转让技术,增强了法国核电标准和规范的影响力,并推广了法国核电安全和运营参考指标。

法国核工业产品进入中国必须要首先经过中国核安全机构授权的HAF604 认证(法国获得 HAF604 认证的企业约占本国核工业的 33%,美国 20%,德国 17%)。中国建造的大部分核电站(包括 AP1000 和VVER 反应堆)都进口法国设备和部件。

从这点看来,法中电力协会非常积极地推广法国的核电标准规则和认证。例如,今年 3 月中国核能行业协会和 EDF 在北京举办了中法核设备生产质量监管研讨会,阿海珐和法中电力协会的相关领导出席了此次会议。(1)

法中电力协会成员单位生产本土化的设备以支持中国核电项目。2009年,法中电力协会和法国核工业协会代表团参观浙江海盐核电项目基地,当时中国正在那里建造中国最大的核工业园。代表团与当地政府签署了促进核相关工业合作的意向书。2011 年法中电力协会与台山市政府和中广核签署了一份三方协议。

要素 2:各种行业协会并存,包括美国的核供应国集团,英国的核工业协会,加拿大的核工业组织,西班牙的核集团和芬兰的Finnuclear。由于他们没有和工业园签署战略合作协议或建立合作伙伴关系,因此不能准确了解当地的需求。他们的成员单位不得不依赖销售力量或者国际竞标。

建立针对中国市场的专业协会将会在成员单位和本国工业间产生协同效应。上游部门,对核工业标准规范和认证的指导对于促进工业的发展是必要的。

EDF 在中国的发展策略:致力于发展合作伙伴关系

法中电力协会主席普罗内先生将在本刊中介绍 PFCE 和 EDF 参与中国大亚湾项目和台山项目的情况。

除了投资台山核电项目,EDF 还对当地供应商的资格认证工作进行审查,而且还支持法中电力协会的工作。另外,为了加强国际合作和有效地提高机组运营的管理能力,EDF 与中国伙伴共同参与了两个核电站项目,如中广核红沿河项目和 CIVAUX 核电项目。

阿海珐在中国的角色:技术提供者和主要的燃料供应商

阿海珐和中国的合作关系见证了两国核工业的成功。阿海珐在中国的业务主要集中在燃料循环,反应堆设计,关键部件的生产以及供应链评估体系。

阿海珐与中国的这种特殊关系在其与中核和中广核的高级管理层的多次会晤中得以展现:

2013 年中法将迎来双方核电合作的第一个 30 年。为迎接中法核电合作 30 周年,10 月 19 日,阿海珐集团 (AREVA),法国电力公司(EDF)和中国广东核电集团 (CGNPC) 签署了一份建造中型三代技术反应堆机组的三方合作协议。

30 年的合作离不开法国政府,法国电力公司 EDF 和生产运营商(阿海珐和阿尔斯通)以及法中电力协会引领下的法国工业的强有力支持。

从第一次合作到现在,中法核电事业已经携手走过 30 年,法国核工业已经深深根植于中国合作伙伴心中,两国组织了多次技术研讨会,共建实验室,并且不久就会推进共性技术和海外投资。2009 年 12 月,中国副总理李克强会见法国总理弗朗索瓦 . 菲永,探讨了两国在核燃料再加工,人员培训和第四代核电技术的研究等领域的合作。几周前,中国国家总理温家宝向法国总统弗朗索瓦 . 奥朗德重申了两国战略合作的重要性。

我们将重点讲述成功合作的七项要素:

1982 年 11 月 22 日,第一次里程碑式合作

1982 年,法国原子能机构与中国核工业部签署了一份合作框架协议。一年后,EDF,CLP 和广东核电合营公司启动了大亚湾核电项目,1994 年中国总理李鹏出席了大亚湾核电站的成立仪式。

当时中国的市场不同于现在,法国是唯一一个冒险与中国共享敏感的核电技术的国家。长远来看,进口法国技术的策略是必然的,现在各种核电市场领域都可以切实体会到这项明智之举,我们仅列举几项:

大亚湾核电站:合作建设中国第一座 900MW 核电站。

东方阿海珐核泵有限责任公司:与东方电气合资建立,主要研发生产核电厂主泵。

法国核岛设备设计,建造及在役检查规则协会:定期举行核安全标准规则和认证研讨会。

EDF:首次以运营商身份参与中国核电站项目的外国投资商。

中法核工程与技术学院:在珠海设立的第一个中外核工程学院。

法国 ACPP 公司:第一家设立在台山市清洁能源产业园的核电公司。

中法国际核能工程有限公司:阿海珐和中广核共同参与的第一个工程公司。

堪培拉公司:第一个与中国原子能科学研究院合作提供设备和核检测,以及辐射测量和核安全服务的公司。

Onet Technologies 公司:第一个与中广核工程有限公司签署了覆盖中国和欧洲核设备停运,排污净化和核废料处理协议。

要素 1:由于发展核电的敏感性,政府鼓励本国核工业在不同领域的合作中处于主导地位。

十一月发生的事件 :

53 专 访

1. 90 年代,法玛通(后来成为阿海珐)前主席 Jean-Claude Leny 与中国国家主席江泽民和副总理吴怡保持着密切关系。

2. 2011 年,中广核董事长贺禹和阿海珐总裁乌赛尔先生在香港的会晤表明了双方的合作领域,如铀资源开采,台山二期核电项目的推进和新建核反应堆的研究等。

3. 今年 2 月,中国核工业集团副总经理吕华详先生会见阿海珐高级执行副总裁 Philippe Samama 先生,探讨其他领域的合作,如 DCS 系统的合作,并和中核的副总经理杨长利和阿海珐副总裁 RémyAutebert 先生在6 月份进行了会谈。

野心勃勃的技术转移:南沙重型部件厂的建设

南沙工厂的成立目标就是要制造核蒸汽供应系统主回路系统的重型部件。这个工厂建立在法国 Chalon/Saint-Marcel 重型部件制造厂的标准基础上,计划在它刚开始运行的几年里每年生产两套完整的核蒸汽供应系统。

南沙是一个理想的建厂基地,因为自从 1978 年起,就有很多中国领导人参观了 Chalon/Saint-Marcel 工厂,如总理朱镕基,广东核电合营有限公司董事长王全国等。这个工厂被列为中国市场的关键项目。

关于技术支持,我们可以参考两个事件,一个是关于核安全,一个是燃料技术。

大亚湾核电运营管理有限公司总经理助理戴忠华几个月前受邀到慕尼黑参加 “ 安全联盟 ” 计划,这是阿海珐在福岛核事故后发起的旨在帮助核电企业验证和升级他们的核电机群安全的计划。

今年 7 月,中广核铀资源有限公司和阿海珐签署了一份核燃料技术支持协议,为中广核下属核电站提供核燃料技术支持。

要素 3:强大的工程和技术提供商必须与中核,中广核和国核的领导保持持久的联系,并明确和监督共同的战略。

要素 4:为了维护在中国的业务,技术提供者必须至少转让一项已被验证的技术。

要素 5:工程公司必须拓宽合作领域,和中方合作伙伴共同参与到海外项目中。

阿尔斯通:合作与本土化

阿尔斯通对采购和物流程序以及大型项目和质量管理的要求很严格。

它在中国最有名的是其三套主要设备:1750MW Arabelle 汽轮机,应急柴油发电机(EDG)和液体净化设备。

阿尔斯通中国公司是由中广核旗下的两家子公司中广核工程有限公司和中广核工程设计有限公司组成的,隶属于财团。对于阿尔斯通来说,大部分的业务是由阿尔斯通涡轮机械集团负责的,包括在武汉的一家工程办事处 - 阿尔斯通(武汉)工程技术有限公司(AWEC)。

2009 年 8 月速度转子 1100MW 发电机交付给中国第二重型机械集团,并继续沿用阿尔斯通的技术标准。

2010 年起阿尔斯通旗下的 AWEC,曼恩柴油机公司和陕西柴油机厂就参与设计和研发 6300KW 1E 级应急柴油机。阿尔斯通几乎向中国所有主要的核电站提供过应急柴油机,例如田湾,宁德,防城岗,阳江和福清核电站。

要素 6: 设备生产商应该成立一个联合会共同承担责任,降低被非法仿制的风险。技术转让需要付出努力,但它可以保证生产设备的安全。

要素 7:要求大型的本土工程公司,如阿尔斯通(武汉)工程技术有限公司要保持自身优势,持续升级自己的技术。

中法之间的合作远远不止这些,但限于篇幅,我们的编辑团队只选择刊登了几篇涉及中法合作大事件主要参与者或相关促进者的采访。它包括:首个中法合作的重要核电项目 — 大亚湾核电站。嘉道理勋爵之子米高 • 嘉道理爵士热情接受了我们的采访,他详细的介绍了中电集团(原中华电力有限公司)当时参与这个项目的过程以及他自己对此项目的看法。

我们还采访了法中电力协会主席普罗内先生,他介绍了法中电力协会和法国电力集团参与中国大亚湾和台山核电项目的具体全面的情况。

此外,法国驻华大使馆核工业参赞科尔迪耶也介绍了法国原子能机构和中国核电机构的沟通与合作。

同时,阿海珐也介绍了它在中国的主要活动。

附注:(1) 来自 56 所企业的 140 名代表参加了会议,包括中国国家核安全局,中广核工程有限公司,中国核电工程有限公司,东方电气,法国电力集团,阿海珐,威兰阀门,瑞士通用公证行,法国国际检验局在内的九家公司在会议上做了报告,报告涉及中法在核设备制造方面的监测要求和公司的主要活动等内容。

嘉道理勋爵的高瞻远瞩

中电在中国的业务发展离不开二十世纪三十年代时任中电主席的嘉道理勋爵的一个梦想—中电的电力系统与国内联网,向广东供应电力。除了商业考虑,嘉道理勋爵与中国内地合作这一举措的动机还在于他要尽一切可能保持香港和中国的特殊关系。在他看来,香港当时实际上已经成为英政府管理下的一片自由区,香港的生存取决于它融合中国和香港不同的思想,利益和观念的能力。香港之所以存在,是因为它对于中国和西方国家都是不可或缺的。当务之急就是怎样保持并增强它的作用,以便在时代变迁中稳固其地位,顺利承担起它在下个新纪元中的使命。嘉道理勋爵多次作出这样的比喻:他说香港屹立在三条腿上,一条好比是它和中国的关系,一条是与英国的关系,第三条是对于更为复杂的下一代年轻人来说,香港政府能够满足他们接受良好教育、提高生活质量和改善未来前景的能力。

向广东省供电

嘉道理勋爵的梦想直到 1979 年 3 月才得以实现,那时中电电力系统最终和广东省的系统联网并开始向广东省输送电力。“ 现在我们已经与广东省建立了远远超出供电这一层面的联系,那是友谊和相互理解的关系,它表现了我们在中国四个现代化指导下谋求共同利益的合作的愿望。” 这是 1979 年 3 月 31 日嘉道理勋爵在中电葵涌系统控制中心举行的中电 - 广东联网启动仪式上说的。他还补充说,“ 我们达成的这个协议不仅提供被工业发展视为生命线的充足电力,而且中电将来可以凭借此联系输入你们的电力。”

这一 “ 破冰 ” 工程标志着中电和中国内陆的一系列合作正式开始,中电成为中国电力板块最大的外国投资商。

大亚湾核电站的发展历程

1979 年 6 月,中电和中国水利电力部以及广东电业局讨论在广东合作建造核电站,向香港和广东省输送电力,并开展了可行性方案研究。1980 年 12 月,可行性研究报告完成,经中国当局的详细审查,1982 年12 月国务院批准了此研究方案。1985 年 1 月,中港双方在北京签署了合资合同和电力承购协议。1994 年 2 月,合资公司(被命名为广东核电合营有限公司),完成核电站的建设和投产。成立合资企业是中电的果敢之举,因为这个项目的特殊性可以使其完全超出中电的业务范围而应由政府投资经营:a)预计成本高达 40 亿美元;b)核电站发送的电力要跨界送至香港,中国和香港政府都会参与其中;c) 核事故承担的后果责任非常大,可能耗去中电的全部资本。如果没有嘉道理勋爵的远见和中电对内地事业的热忱,中电不可能承担起这个项目。中电的项目工作组由嘉道理勋爵和石威廉爵士(时任副总经理)牵头负责并与潘国濂先生(时任部门经理 - 规划与系统部)和李锐波博士(时任总规划工程师)以及其他相关人员密切合作。

融资

这个工程的资金来源于股东的投资和贷款。负债和资本金比率是 9:1. 中国水利电力部和广东电业局用人民币出资,中电则使用美元。中国的银行提供长期的人民币贷款,而外国货币贷款则是在中国银行和出口国家的出口信贷机构担保下的国际和香港银行提供。外国货币贷款的还款是按照中电和合营公司承购协议的收益来偿付的,根据协议中电将购买 70% 的输出电量。

前言

1971 年我国第一艘核动力潜艇开始系泊试验后,中国决定发展核能并利用核能发电并采用 “ 两条腿走路 ” 政策,也就是既引进国外技术,又重视发展国内技术。中国水利电力部被授权引进先进技术,发展核电。另一方面,中国核工业部负责牵头研制秦山核电站 300MW 压水反应堆。

1978 年中国实行改革开放政策后,中电控股有限公司(简称中电,原名中华电力有限公司)和中国大陆的合作正式开始。中电开始向供电紧张的广东省供应电力。紧接着这一 “ 破冰 ” 项目后,中电随即又与广东省探讨进一步的合作,最终在二十世纪八十年代促成了 2×980MW 大亚湾核电站项目的开发。

自从 1994 年大亚湾核电站运行以来,它已经成为中国最成功的中外合资企业之一。这篇文章简要描述了大亚湾核电站的发展历程,此核电项目给香港和内陆带来的利益以及它成功的关键。

设备

大亚湾核电站设备的选择受政治,经济,财政和技术的影响。开展可行性研究时,美国的供应商是不允许出口核技术和设备到中国的。美国政府要求美国和购买国必须签署核技术交流的正式合同。当时中美之间没有这样的合同,美国政府坚决抵制核扩散,并坚持进行核检查。在这样的环境下,中电和中国水利电力部以及广东电业局决定使用法国核反应堆理由如下:a)美国、英国和苏联等潜在供应商受 “ 核不扩散条约 ” 制约,但法国不受其约束。b)法国不要求核检查,而且提供贷款购买设备。c)法国980MW 压水堆已得到验证,且适合中电和广东电力系统。当时香港是英政府殖民地,处于政治需求,英政府希望参与此核电项目中。如果英国的汽轮发电机在质量和价格方面有竞争力,中电、中国水利电力部和广东电业局同意将其应用到大亚湾核电项目中。

核安全

大亚湾核电站采用正确的安全标准非常重要。它不仅影响电站的成本和可行性,也影响香港市民对这个项目的接受程度。经过详细参考美国、德国、英国、日本和法国多国核安全标准后,中电和中国水利电力部及广东电业局决定核电站的设计、建造、管理和运营要符合国际原子能机构和中法两国相关的核安全规程、方针和标准。

会见邓小平主席

签署合营合同之后,中电代表团于 1985 年 1 月 19 日在中国人民大会堂会见了邓小平主席。会议期间,邓小平对于嘉道理勋爵和中电表示了感谢,并高度赞扬了他们对中国的积极友好态度以及他们在其他投资商畏缩踌躇的时候毅然投资大亚湾核电站的大胆精神。邓小平说大亚湾核电项目意义非凡,它是当时中国最大的中外合资企业。它不仅有利于鼓舞了香港人民的信心,为香港的繁荣稳定作出贡献,而且还有助于加强香港和内地的持久的经济联系。邓小平主席进一步阐述了中国的对外开放政策,他强调吸引外国投资是一项长期战略,1997 年香港回归中国后这些政策也不

1985 年 1 月,邓小平主席会见嘉道理勋爵

会改变。嘉道理勋爵回应说,他很高兴参与这个项目,这个项目综合应用了社会主义和资本主义因素来造福中国,香港乃至全世界。他希望双方坚守合作,共同展望这个项目的成功。邓小平主席和嘉道理勋爵表示在大亚湾运营之际,他们将把这个项目看作中国对外开放的典范并举办一场庆功宴。遗憾的是,尽管邓小平主席在 1994年 2月见证了大亚湾核电站的投产,嘉道理勋爵却在 6 个月前悄然离世,最终未能兑现这个约定。但是,没有他高瞻远瞩的谋略和在大亚湾核电项目中的中坚作用,中外合营就不会轻易实现,他的丰功伟绩将被人永远铭记于心。

辉煌成就和成功因素

自从 1994 年大亚湾核电站投产以来,它运行稳定,安全性达到世界电厂安全标准。核电站平均每年年发电量达 150 亿千瓦时,其中 70% 的发电量输送到香港,30% 输送到广东省。生产同样的电量要消耗 500 万吨煤炭,排放 1500 万吨二氧化碳,7.7 万吨二氧化硫和 6 万吨氧化氮。中电不断为合营公司贡献自己的力量,积极参与电站管理和运营,包括建立良好的企业管理,金融管理,安全文化和内部控制等。合营公司也培养了一批核电方面的工程师和操作人员,至今他们还坚守在中国其他核电站的不同岗位上。

合营公司的成功离不开以下几点关键的成功因素:a)良好的合作伙伴关系,长远的眼光和对成功的不懈追求; b)成熟的技术;c)注重质量管理,培训和研发;d)强有力的政府支撑。

在 1985 年以来的成就基础上,合营期限又延长 20 年直到 2034 年。

结束语

大亚湾核电项目是中国最大,也是最成功的中外合资企业之一。自从它运营以来,该核电站的安全性能和操作指标就一直达到世界级水平。作为中国第一座大型商业核电站,大亚湾核电站为广东省和中国其他地区核电项目的蓬勃发展奠定了坚实的基础。

Jean-Claude Prenez 先生:1986 年大亚湾核电站

项目初期,我在第一小组担任工程经理, Herve Machenaud 先生负责技

术部门。我们在广东核电合营公司(GNPJVC)建立了一个中法合作小组,

该组人员有的来自大陆,有的来自香港中电控股有限公司(简称 CLP)。

当时该合资公司成立了项目部、运营部、质量监管部等。

法国电力集团业务涵盖广泛,主要方向是技术管理,包括传统核电业务,

如核电建设。我当时的职责是负责项目启动的二次开发工作。电站建立启

动仪式的具体时间是 1987 年 8 月 7 日,由中国国家副总理李鹏和 CLP 总

裁嘉道理勋爵共同揭牌。

法国电力集团同时还负责土木工程和 BOP。法国法玛通公司负责核岛,美

国通用电气公司负责常规岛,同时还有其他公司负责土木建设工作。法国

万喜集团前身 Campenon Bernard 公司、华兴、日本 Maida 建设公司及中

国建筑工程总公司负责土木工程的执行工作。Spie-Framatome 与中国核

工业二三建设有限公司负责电站建设工作。

山东电力建设公司与美国通用公司负责常规部分。一家北京公司在贝克特

尔公司辅助下负责 BOP。

合营公司的中国负责人中,有的是核电能源的代表,有的是电力部的代表,

有的是 CLP 的代表。其中,CLP 在该合资公司的组织结构图中占有一席

之地。由于中央电力局的大力支持,该公司在合同部门有比重不小的话语

权。贝特法尔公司负责品质保证。一些来自贝克特尔公司的代表则肩负起

单项工程管理和 BOP 的建造工作。我们必须与各个单位协同合作以保证

技术管理工作的有序进行。

1986 年大亚湾核电站作为一个整体的承包项目在中国展开,并吸纳了一批

综合素质较高的团队,我认为这种建设方式非常新颖独到。而正是法国电

力集团的培训支持造就了今天这个团队的卓越表现。项目建设的良好开端

预示了接下来 30 年的风调雨顺。大家互帮互助,团结一心,为的就是将

这个项目做好,而接下来的 40 年将由中方操作该核电站,所以积极地合

作就显得尤为重要。我加入该项目时,年仅 35 岁,整个团队成员的年龄

虽然都不大,但却也是身经百战。负责电站运营的中国团队中有的来自工

程学院,项目经验丰富。25 年后,当年朝气蓬勃的第一小组成员都晋升为

了项目负责人。

我在项目建设初期加入进来,所有工作都紧密相连,错综复杂,犹如一张

编织的巨网。这是因为项目的建设离不开团队合作。

对于大亚湾项目的成功我并不感到意外,Gravelines 核电站就是一个很好

的证明。并且参与这个项目的公司是来自法国的精英公司,而后期法国阿

尔斯通公司的加入使得该项目如虎添翼。阿尔斯通在法国机组管理方面经

验丰富,因此该项目形成了一个完善的管理模式。当然在第一机组建设期

间,我们确实遇到过一些阻碍,而项目的启动帮助我们重拾信心。项目建

设需要一个外国团队,但是到了项目后期核电站的操作者却仅仅限于中国

人。因此法国电力集团有责任为运营团队和电站总监提供培训。法国电力

集团派遣了最优秀的专家进行技术培训,1997 年一位中国人担任了该核电

站的主管。1992 年 —1995 年期间,我们肩负重任,而项目的启动也为两

家企业的深厚友谊奠定了基础,特别是法国核电行业与广东核电集团的友

谊之路铺下基石。

当年的运营团队已经成为现在的管理者,其中贺禹先生是核电站总监,

张善明先生和郑东山先生担任安全技术顾问,高立刚先生是自动化工程

师。一大批中国工程师曾在法国电力集团接受培训,大部分是运营工程

师。

DPS: 您 在《Le Chemin Partagé》 中提到在大亚湾核电站建设期间,来自中国大陆、香港以及美国的同事对于法国电力集团的质量控制流程提出了更为严苛的标准。项目各个环节的严格要求深深的影响了法国电力集团的质量控制体系。

Jean-Claude Prenez 先生:法国电力集团和法玛

通公司提供了先进的技术和专业知识。CLP 的同仁对于合同执行方面尤为

严苛,由于这是一个国际项目,因此它对项目质量要求非常高。虽然在法

国我们已建立了 900 兆瓦机组,但是我们的操作经验却还是偏向于 1300

Page 57: Your Window to the Chinese Nuclear Market

57 专 访

兆瓦机组。在核电行业尤其是项目施工阶段,人为因素是一个关键因素。

这些项目较为复杂,因此需要经验丰富的专家,项目中许多环节的管理需

要人为把控。注水泥、锻造容器等都离不开人力。整个核电运行过程涵盖

设备、股东等诸多环节,而人则是决策的扮演者,一个人的经验对整个项

目有着深远影响。

客户对项目的高要求和各部门的努力,使得精益求精成为该项目的一个总

体原则。团队间不同的文化背景促使我们形成了一个全新的工作模式,每

个人都学到了除了本职工作以外的专业知识,如质量把控、监管、建设、

土木工程等。

在语言沟通存在障碍的前提下,任何环节都需严格遵守流程规定。例如,

很多参与项目建设的人都不会说英语,因此所有操作环节都应保证质

量把控的可追踪性。除此之外,我们还负责同事的教学,将各个环节

体制化,以保证项目的正常启动。 尽管我们的中方同事自学了法语,

但是我们还是要额外抽时间审阅这些文件,因为这是他们第一次参与

核电项目。我们签署的国际合同对于物流配送系统要求严格,以确保

我们能够按时交工。而当时根本不存在因特网,电话应用也不像现在

这样广泛。

DPS:大亚湾核电站并网运行后一年,岭澳核电站于 1995 年开始运行。您认为岭澳核电项目与大亚湾有何不同,应该做出哪些调整?

Jean-Claude Prenez 先 生: 后 来 我 到 了

Gravelines 核电站 , 职位是副主任,再后来又回到了 Chooz 核电站做主任。

Chooz 是第一个拥有 N4 机组的核电站。当时岭澳一期工程正在建设中,

EDF 要求我返回中国,于是我又回到了高级管理层。在中国,核电站的所

有者是依据各个项目而定的。岭澳核电一期项目属于岭澳核电有限公司所

有,中电控股并没有参与。

阿尔斯通给岭澳二期项目安装了汽轮机 Arabelle,相对于岭澳一期来说,

它使发电量增加了 100 兆瓦(约发电总量的 10%)。Arabelle 是目前在世

界排名中较为靠前的汽轮机。基于 Chooz 核电站的反馈信息,汽轮机的设

计得到了改善和验证,其他同类产品无法比拟。

EDF 在 Chooz 和 Civaux N4 机组安装了数字化仪控系统。这种经验和技

术对岭澳核电二期项目来说非常重要。岭澳核电有限公司也决定安装一台

数字化仪控系统。

核电和 F1 赛车

核电好比是F1赛车:高要求的清洁和质量。保养良好的设备才能有高产量。

电站大修期好比是 F1 赛车维修站。他们的主要不同在于我们必须要遵守

审查条例。专业的维修队和大修是很重要的里程碑。

DPS:您是否意识到了大亚湾核电站和岭澳核电站管理上的变化?

Jean-Claude Prenez 先生:借鉴 Gravelines 核电

项目的经验 , 我们建议中广核为大亚湾和岭澳这两个核电项目只建设一个

专门的操作团队。举个例子来说,在 Gravelines 核电站,我们同时开始建

设 1-4 号核电机组,然后才建造 5-6 号机组。我们清楚地看到核电项目上

所反映的两个不同团队的文化差异。

大亚湾核电的管理方式以美国和其他国家为基准。它的管理在美国遇到

了维修方面的困难,因为很多机组是分散的。他们也看到了不同的文化

和管理观念。管理的本质都是安全,管理越清晰明确,安全文化就越高。

除了弥补差异,这也是创立美国核电运行研究所的原因。大亚湾核电意

识到了这个问题,所以根据以往电站建设的经验总结我们参与建立了大

亚湾核电运营管理有限责任公司,主要负责大亚湾和岭澳核电项目工程,

当时岭澳核电项目也处于启动初期。大亚湾核电运行和管理有限公司是

一家高度专业化的公司,如今它的管理模式已经消化吸收了法国那样的

管理方式。

DPS:岭澳核电项目后你们有一段时间没有在中国建设其他的项目,你们开拓中国市场的策略是什么?

Jean-Claude Prenez 先生:后来我回到法国,在

生产部任职,也参与国际市场的事务。当时 EDF 管理层正考虑在中国市

场的新定位。2000 年我们签署了一份长期的经营合作协议。截至目前,

我们的合作关系已有 15 年之久,我们想要建立一种不是建立在合同的基

础上的新型的伙伴关系并赋予我们的长期合作一种全新的思想。

2003 年到 2004 年间,中法一直在考虑岭澳核电项目之后的再次合作,

EDF 也想要走向世界。

2003 年伊始,还是没有多少项目。由于合作伙伴的关系,我们和阿海珐

向中国国家核电技术公司和中国核工业集团提议 EPR 核电技术。但是中

国认为使用 EPR 技术为时尚早,相反,他们对已经被验证的 N4 更感兴趣。

虽然我们提供了 N4 技术,但后来中国政府又决定公开招标第三代核电技

术。所有 N4 项目被搁浅。当时,岭澳二期和秦山二期已经动工。

中国正在进行岭澳电站的扩建工程。他们改进了我们的技术,CPR1000以及后来的 M310,并称他们为二代加技术。

中国选择 EPR 技术、仪控系统。人机界面是安全操作的基本,所以岭澳

二期项目的设计和仪控系统得到了法国的有力支持。

中国核电公司做出了很多改进,作为技术顾问,我感到了与中国合作的限

制。阿海珐也遇到了这样的状况,岭澳二期工程的初级电路基本上本土化。

对我们来说,我们的下一步就是以运营商的角色投资中国 EPR 核电技术。

DPS:中国大部分的运行和在建核电项目都是建立在你们的标准和规范基础上(除了田湾核电1-4号机组,秦山核电1-3号机组,三门和海阳核电)。依据法国核电项目中遇到的问题,您认为将来中国核电机组可能遇到什么样的问题呢?

Jean-Claude Prenez 先生:法国核安全局很担心

核电机组出现一般性的缺陷。当我们发现问题时,我们就必须检查每一台

机组,这样操作很困难,不仅费用昂贵,在可操作性方面也存在种种困难,

如需要一套高效的反馈信息收集系统,强大的技术管理模式以及完整的土

木建设方案。

EDF 有 58 座反应堆,所以我们也有自己的一套体系。ASME 标准在中国

广为人知,但是其实法国核电标准应用比较广泛。

负责岭澳核电二期项目的岭东核电有限公司没有自己的规范标准,它决定

使用法国核电标准。

为了防范事故,法国核电标准非常严格。冶金工业深谙此理:生产失误早

晚会被发现,等到发现问题时,这个问题可能就更加严重甚至造成危险。

主要的危害不是在运行中,因为我们可以通过自动系统或其他方式解决问

题,但是生产过程中的过失造成的影响往往更为严峻,有时甚至会损害电

站运行。

DPS:EDF 最近一次参与中广核的核电项目是什么?

Jean-Claude Prenez 先生:EDF 制定了投资中国

核电项目的策略并不断扩张我们的市场。第三代核电技术招标使我们的策

略停滞不前。

当中国宣告选择 AP1000 核电技术后,我们又重新开始与中国讨论 EPR技术。中国要建造两台机组,所以这次很快寻求阿海珐和法国政府的帮助。

2007 年 1 月起,有了中法合作的项目,EDF 是投资商之一;2007 年 11 月,

Page 58: Your Window to the Chinese Nuclear Market

58专 访

我们在台山创立了合资企业;阿海珐供应反应堆机组和燃料。法国总统萨

科奇和中国国家主席胡锦涛签署反应堆销售协议,随后,合资企业和支持

协议也得以签署,当时正值北京 2008 年奥运会。2009 年 12 月,合资公

司开始运营,但是 2007 年底之前 EDF 已经建立了自己的团队,2008 年

初许多操作人员被分派到台山核电基地。

2007 年 11 月我们签署了全球合伙协议,EDF 和 CGNPC 的运营合作极似

拥有较高素质的建筑工程师。

2012 年 10 月 19 日,阿海珐,法国电力公司和中广核在法国阿维尼翁市

签署了一份关于设计一座新反应堆的合作协议。该协议既保证了 EDF 在

中国的长远发展战略,又能够促进双方在核电领域的交流。

DPS:您可以谈谈 EPR 核电安全标准吗?

Jean-Claude Prenez 先生:至于 EPR 技术,以中

核代表李晓明在 Flamanville 核电站参观的见闻为例,我们来比较一下电

站厂房。在FLA3( EPR)所有的泵厂和柴油机泵应急机组厂都是混凝土的,

而 FLA2 的冷却系统是安装在厂房外面的。因此无论发生龙卷风,恐怖袭

击还是战争,EPR 核电站都可以有效的抵御这些外部灾害,这在当时是一

个巨大的进步。

我认为 EPR 核电在中国有很大的发展前景。

DPS:您与法中电力协会(PFCE)第一次结缘是什么时候 ?

Jean-Claude Prenez 先生:我直到 2000 年才知道

PFCE 的存在,那时它已经创立好多年了。PFCE 的一次活动邀请到了我,

因为我参与了当时和之后的电站运营。我作了关于设备维护方面的演说。

EDF 控制着它的供应商,这是我们把他们带到中国的主要原因。法国的核

电项目进程减慢,因此发展中国核电项目就成了必然趋势。因为法国核电

机群很大,需要大量的设备形成一个设备维护工业,同时需要大量投资,

所以维护市场吸引了很多公司。在扩张中国市场的基础上,我们想把我们

的供应商也带进来。如果我们的供应商能够进入这个圈子,他们的业务就

可以持续,同时和有信誉的供应商合作能保证EDF的专业技能的有效传授。

我们知道市场在这儿,供应商拿到的是中文版的规范标准。从中国的核电

规划看来,我们想要使我们的供应商还能够为法国电站提供设备。因此,

AFCEN(法国核岛设备设计和建造规划协会)编写规范和标准,我们再推

广自己的规范、准则和标准。

DPS:PFCE 的主要目标是什么?

Jean-Claude Prenez 先生:PFCE 的终极目标是

加强中法企业的合作,促使法国供货商提供中国核电发展所需的服务和

设备。中国遇到了新的挑战:核电机群的管理。最大的核电机群的拥有

者 --CGNPC 意识到了这个挑战。当务之急就是要建立新的核电项目,他

们启动后,要确保他们安全运行,保持可靠的性能和有力的竞争力。如果

CGNPC 只有大亚湾核电项目,岭澳一期和二期,并且在相同的基地,同

样的机组,那就更简单了。现在他们有红沿河核电项目,宁德核电项目和

其他的核电项目,并且他们有不同的工作文化和建设承包公司。新的挑战

是知道如何管理这个庞大的机群。规则和程序是很重要的,但是人为因素

也很重要。操作之后便是维护服务。设备维护需要丰富的经验。

DPS:在您的参与下,PFCE 作出的主要改变有哪些?

Jean-Claude Prenez 先生:2004 年我正式接管

PFCE,主要关注两点:尽可能提供大量技术 : 当我们见到 EPC 或者设计

院时,我们要回答很多关于不同设备的问题。我们能回答的问题越多,我

们就能越多的宣传我们的设备。起初我们有很多阀门制造商,后来我们扩

张到了其它技术领域。

把设备维护和服务结合起来,包括与其他公司的土木工程施工,如 EGIS, SITES, APAVE, BV。以上技术均为核电行业所需,而法国工业是这些领域

的先驱。

EDF 知道这些公司,他们依照安全标准和指标要求运营。PFCE 现在有

85 个会员。我们的活动帮助我们推动法国工业的发展,他们甚至都不用广

告宣传推广。我们只需要涉足每个与核电相关的领域,吸纳新的会员可以

帮助我们拓展我们的核电领域。

中国的市场动向不确定。比如,当我们倾向服务方面时,他们却有控制和

监测方面的需求。这时就有其他公司插足进来,因为他们也想要进入中国

市场。直到岭澳一期,他们成为了 EDF, Areva 和 Alstom 的分包商。岭澳

二期时,中国更希望直接与每个供应商取得联系。

这些中小企业必须直接面对很大的买家、新的竞争者或者买家对产品本土

化的要求。

有时我们与中方合作,有时又不能。有时我们宁愿在法国。或许有一天我

们不能制造阀门,或者我们在他们扩张的市场圈之内。最近我看到了一些

机器制造企业崛起,这令我很惊讶,因为它意味着中国的市场需求很广阔。

DPS:您是如何成为 PFCE 的一员的?它的组织结构是什么样的?

Jean-Claude Prenez 先生:成为 PFCE 的一员很

简单,只需要填张表格就可以了。我见过每个新的申请人。

PFCE 是一个非盈利协会。我们会被审计,而且必须支付增值税,我们

的财政管理是很严格的。我们有内部条例,EDF 提议的主席,来自 EDF的秘书长,还有两个副主席,来自工程公司主管财务的 Jean-François Sageau 和来自 Velan 的 Michel Monier。我们有一个董事会,我们每年举

行四次大会,约 75% 的会员参加,大部分是 CEO。我更加喜欢这样有助

于促进信息交流的大会。

成为 PFCE 的成员有三个要求:必须是 EDF 的资质供应商;必须推销法

国技术;必须保护法国就业。

我们每年有一次特别的智囊团大会,我们参观我们成员的工厂。

我们的董事会每年换届一次,我们对新申请加入者提供意见建议。所有申

请加入者都要介绍自己的公司,公司概况要让所有参与者了解。我们建议

每个新申请者都要接受 PFCE 人员的指导。申请人要回答 PFCE 大会的所

有质询。成员不介意竞争,只看重申请人的理念:你想要在中国做些什么?

PFCE 的成员想要把这种合作伙伴理念作为协会的核心。我们也保持成员

间的友谊。我们协会有 “ 团队猎手 ” 的精神。

我们在会上介绍 PFCE 时会介绍我们的每一个成员,包括缺席的成员。

与中方合作,PFCE 有一套完整的合作理念,并且我们会邀请我们的法国

成员公司参与进来。

我认为,长远看来市场会越来越开放,设备维护和服务市场也是如此,运

营商不会过多要求国产产品。

中国希望我们设立更多的工厂,我们持开放态度。但只有在市场需求信息

明确是,我们的成员才会来中国建厂。认证费用昂贵,投资大,工作一贯

严格,我们经常会接受审查和评估。

DPS:你们是否遇到过其他行业领域的申请人?

Jean-Claude Prenez 先生:我们遇见过机械部件

的钢铁工业供应商申请加入我们,如 Vallinox, Mersen, CNIM 和 l’Union des Forgerons。 中国需要他们的专门技术。

举一个例子:一个集成公司在中国分包了一些金属铸件。由于很难检测它

们的质量和工艺,这个公司不得不在法国订货。如果我们不创新,我们也

会丧失一些市场。所以 Nordlock 一直致力于创新,再创新。

Page 59: Your Window to the Chinese Nuclear Market

59 专 访

DPS:关于企业组成形式,您给您的成员提供了什么建议?他们应该以什么样的心态或持以何种理念在中国开展业务?

Jean-Claude Prenez 先生:在中国市场上合资企

业是一种解决方案,但绝对不是唯一的方案。Bernard Controls是合资企业,

后来被改为外商独资,仍隶属 Bernard 集团。许多公司是中小型企业,没

有专门的技术他们就会被淘汰。因此他们必须要保护自己的技术。现在无

论是合资,外商独资还是承包形式,中国企业更倾向于本土化生产。除下

一些小众市场,我们 90% 的成员将在中国设立工厂或办事处。这不是转

移工业而是扩张市场。

我们宣传我们的标准,认证和准则。这样推销了法国的产品。中国想要扩

张到海外市场,我们是他们的理想合作伙伴,因为语言沟通存在障碍,认

证方面需要我们的帮助,他们也需要达到国外安全机构规定的标准。就此

看来,我们是理想的伙伴,我们面向全球,我们已经帮助他们建立了自己

的标准和认证体系。我们与中国核能行业协会和中科华核电技术研究院签

署了认证工作合作协议。

中国有自己的认证体系,我们必须要宣传我们的文化,因为如果我们不了

解中国的认证,其他人也会这么做来占领市场的。

最后要以为法国创造更多的就业的心态来经营:说实话,没有这个市场,

我们很多的中小企业将会被市场淘汰。中国市场支撑着法国的电力工业。

DPS:PFCE 的成员公司表示福岛事件对核设备的安全性能和可靠性能产生了极大的影响 , 因此许多购买商都在观望。那么,PFCE 有没有采取方案或行动吸引他们购买法国产品呢?

Jean-Claude Prenez 先生:事实上对于中国来说,

福岛事件产生了一定的积极影响,如对于设备的设计以及制造要求比以往

更高。同时,它坚定了国家核安全局(NNSA)对于核能产业的领导作用,

局长李干杰在核能领域表现卓越。

2009 年,台山项目接受了评估。台山核电合营有限公司负责项目的把控,

这样 DEF 就可以对设备的质量进行评估。

我们在 PFCE 上对我们的准则、标准和资历做出了阐述。中方需要加强设

备制造的质量把控,而福岛事件恰好给中国核电企业敲响了警钟。福岛事

件对中国的直接影响就是核电站运营者选择质量可靠的核电设备,并对电

站安全负责。

DPS:PFCE 是否计划进军其他的电力市场?

Jean-Claude Prenez 先生:我们一直在考虑进军

中国的其它电力市场。但是 85% 的成员不想扩张市场。核电市场不是由

一方面决定的,至于其他的市场,也是很开放的,而绝大多数是打价格战。

能源市场有很强的竞争性。

DPS:对于中国内陆拓展核电站项目您将给予何种支持?

Jean-Claude Prenez 先生:PFCE 对于内陆核电

站有浓厚的兴趣,且我们在各个领域都有信誉度颇高的供应商(如哈蒙公

司)。

我们在法国内陆核电建设方面有丰富的经验。核电项目最重要的环节在于

运营,而我们也非常愿意帮助中国团队。我们在法国不同的河流都建有核

电站,如上游蓄水大坝,因此我们积累了丰富的用户反馈信息。此外,我

们在湖泊也建有核电站,湖泊发挥了核电散热器的作用(如 Cattenom 核

电站)。在内陆核电站项目方向,我们有很大的优势。

如今,EPR 在法国沿河核电站也有应用。我们可以将我们的技术应用于中

国内陆的 EPR 和 1000 兆瓦机组。

DPS:在福岛事故之后,中国核电企业更加关注核电站的质量与安全问题。中方核电运营者有没有要求 EDF 根据以往经验(如法国的 Le Blayais 事故)提供应对洪灾相关专业知识?

Jean-Claude Prenez 先生:我们确实在扩大在华

业务方面存在优势。我们有世界最大的运营机组和较为综合的工程体系,

由于 EDF 操作机组时间长,我们的经验较之中国同事更为丰富,这一点

我可以举例说明。就拿 Blayais 来说,现在是电站大修的第三个十年计划,

台山市政府 -- 中广核集团 -- 法中电力协会签约仪式

Page 60: Your Window to the Chinese Nuclear Market

60专 访

企业必须向中国提供全球化的技术。不仅是中方公司,所有与市场息息相

关的人都很重视这一点。我们在广东已有 12 个核电公司。广东省发展和

改革委员会希望 PFCE 能够起带头作用,推动其他法国公司在广东建立核

电公司。

我们希望 PFCE 的成员公司加入中国市场,前提是要有预见性和市场前景。

例如,我们协会的会员非常看好台山核电站 3 期 4 期项目以及 EDF 参与的

其它核电站项目。但是如果没有前景、没有市场,那么投资和建立分公司

就没有任何意义了。

两年前,由于广东想发展核电业务,中广核、法中电力协会与台山市签署

了三方协议。广东想大力发展包括核电在内的高科技企业。而当时,核电

相关企业都集中在深圳、南沙、和台山。核电研发企业分布在深圳,核电

重型设备聚集在南沙,如 VALINOX,核电辅助设备和设备维护企业分布

在台山。我们提高了广东核电企业的设备维护水平,同时,我们敦促法中

电力协会的会员公司进驻台山核电维护市场。ACPP 成为进驻台山市清洁

能源产业园的第一家外资核电公司。

DPS:这种合作关系将会延伸到其他国家。同时,更多的法国制造商为中国生产适合中国企业的本土化产品。我们能否这样理解:中国将作为PFCE 各成员公司走向国际市场的一个跳板?

Jean-Claude Prenez 先生:2011 年,南非总统雅

各布 . 祖玛邀请我们参加了圆桌会议。

会议主题是 “ 本土化生产成功典范 —PFCE”。我们有一半的成员公司在中

国进行生产,因此本地化生产不是一个虚无缥缈的梦。PFCE 就是一个很

好的例证。

我们非常认可我们在波兰做的演讲 —— 通过企业合作,我们提高了产品

质量,传授了法国精英企业的专业知识,并且提升了成员公司之间的凝聚

力。我们做事并不墨守成规。

我们还去了越南,越南企业对我们的品牌理念和合作模式表现出浓厚的兴

趣。

然而,我们需要了解的是,由于中国地域广大,很多政策都在变革,诸

多不确定因素决定了中国市场的特殊性。中国市场要求我们从大局考虑,

而不是仅保留单一的体制。我们在中国学到的最宝贵的经验就是团队合

作。

未来,中法将在在其它国际项目上进行合作。

EDF 正在为电站大修的第四个十年计划做准备。我们甚至考虑了极寒的气

候条件(如 1985—1986 年出现的传感器被冰冻的情况),同时我们会考

虑到像 Blayais 这样的洪灾因素、高温因素,我们还调整了地震警报的数

值标准。我们有自己的安全技术组织。我们在这方面取得的经验教训将会

使中国团队受益。

在大亚湾项目大修的第二个十年,我们将对核电站进行全方位核安全检查。

我们不仅更新了设计,还对设备进行了更新。

打比方说,如果一旦进水,设备内部就会被淹没。为了应对这种突发事故,

PFCE 的成员 Mecatiss 专门设计了一种产品,只要一进水就会自动关闭。

中国客户对此技术创新表现出浓厚的兴趣。

我认为法国在许多方面都存在绝对优势,如我们的组织体制、安全标准、

安全机构的严格监管、一套完整的建设模式等。且我们与一大批信誉较高

的供应商建立了合作关系。

DPS:自 2000 年以来,您为中国企业经理人举办了多场技术研讨会。能否谈一下都有哪些人士参加?主题是什么?

Jean-Claude Prenez 先生:EDF 常常组织技术研

讨会,但是通常不会带 EDF 的同事参加会议,而是邀请我们的供应商。

我们帮助中国合作公司延长核电站的使用寿命,确保反应堆的安全性能达

到在建压水反应堆的安全要求。

DPS:CNNC 和 CGNPC 打 算 依 托 法 国 反应堆向阿根廷和土耳其出口相关技术。您认为PFCE 的成员公司能从中获取什么样的利益呢?

Jean-Claude Prenez 先生:中国在这些国家创

办公司的形式取决于合同的类型,或是工程总承包的方式,或是本土产

业开发的方式。无论以上哪种方式,他们都将倾向于沿用合作多年的供

销商,一来降低成本,二来还可以保证质量。如果这些供销商能够像

PFCE 的成员公司一样在中国成立公司,他们将会有更多的机会加入中

国的核电项目。

中国供销商将联手法国合作伙伴共同进驻国际市场,双方都可以从中受益。

DPS:PFCE 在中国的发展前景如何?

Jean-Claude Prenez 先生:在高科技领域,国外

PFCE 参观台山市项目建设现场

Page 61: Your Window to the Chinese Nuclear Market

61 专 访

DPS:能否介绍一下您的个人背景?您是何时加入法国原子能机构(CEA)的?您实际担任什么职位?

科尔迪耶先生 : 我是一名接受过专业教育的化学工程师,曾在法国

一所工程院校就读,并于 1991 年 3 月份加入 CEA。当时我正在撰写一篇

关于核乏燃料再加工的博士论文,所以我其实是在 1995 年完成我的论文

之后正式加入 CEA 的。那时我在 CEA 实验室任职了 5 年,工作基本是在

法国南部的马尔库尔核废料处理站研究核废料再加工技术,主要是从核废

料中分离出次锕系元素。2000 年我离开 CEA 来到法国高杰马公司(现在

的阿海珐集团),在高杰马工作的 5 年间,我被派到日本青森县六所村核

燃料再加工厂,它当时是在阿海珐工程师的帮助下建造和测试的。2005年,

我回到了 CEA,在国际事业部就职,主要负责维系与日本,韩国和澳大利

亚的关系。2007 年 9 月,我以核工业参赞的身份被派往法国驻东京大使馆,

直到 2011 年 12 月我又以同样的身份被调到法国驻华大使馆,在北京工作

至今。

DPS:日本青森县六所村核燃料再加工厂和法国拉黑格核废料再加工厂情况相同吗?

科尔迪耶先生 : 由于拉黑格处理厂是在技术转移的基础上建造的,

所以他们的核心过程是一致的,包括剪切,分离,提纯等。我们可以把他

们称为姊妹处理厂。他们的区别之一在于玻璃化工厂,它采用的是日本的

技术。当时,这一特殊的工厂遇到了很多麻烦,至今仍处于测试阶段。所

以总的来说,它还没有开始投入运营。

DPS:2013 年 1 月,中法即将迎来两国核电事业合作 30 周年。第一次合作始于 1986 年的大亚湾核电项目。CEA 在大亚湾核电项目中起到了什么作用?

科尔迪耶先生: 1983年5月5日中法签署了关于核电合作的备忘录,

开启了大亚湾核电项目合作之门。有趣的是,代表法国签字的其中一位是

叫做 Lauren Fabius 的年轻的研究与工业部长,他现在正是法国外交部长。

1982 年 11 月 22 日 CEA( 国家原子能机构 )和当时的核工业部签署了另一

份协议,它更关注研发领域和制度关系。30 年过去了,这份协议仍然具有

效力,并且每 3 年修订一次 -- 起初是和核工业部,然后和 CNNC ( 中国

核工业集团),现在是和CEA。我们现在正在和CEA协商第十一次草案协议。

DPS:中国国家原子能机构 (CAEA) 和法国原子能机构 (CEA) 是对等机构吗?

科尔迪耶先生 : 作为一个政府机构,就制度关系而言,CAEA 是我

们的对等机构。但就研发工作而言,我们有 CEA-CAEA 协定框架下的其

他协议和合作作为 CEA 的保护伞或者框架协议。例如,我们与中国的相

关机构建立了几个针对不同领域的联合研究实验室:

-- 和中国核电工程有限公司联合建立的关于反应堆物理学和严重事故应对

方案研究实验室。

-- 和中国核动力研究设计院联合建立的有关热工水力学研究实验室。

-- 和中国原子能科学研究院合作建立的关于快堆研究的联合实验室。

-- 和北京地质研究院建立的关于核废料地质埋存方面的实验室。

-- 和 RIMPO 合作设立的辐射材料老化研究实验室。

这些实验室不断更新数据,坚持引进人才,并且定期召开会议。

简单来说,在中法合作的 30 年里,数百名中国科学家参与到 CEA 实验室

研究中去。此外,我们与中国科学技术部和中国科学院还有涉及不同课题

的非核活动的合作协议。

DPS:2009 年,CEA 更 名 为“ 法 国 原 子 能与可替代能源委员会”。这一新名字是否有助于CEA 扩大与中国的合作范围?

科尔迪耶先生 :CEA 确实已将其名称改为“法国原子能与可替代能

源委员会”。CEA 设立的最初目标是(现在依然如此)核能的研发,但是

随着时间的推移,CEA 在新能源和可再生能源领域发展了强劲的技术。先

简单来了解一下 CEA:CEA 现在是一个拥有约 16000 名人员,活跃在低

碳能源,信息技术,医疗技术,国防和全球安全等领域的组织机构,并且

它运营大型设备,提供技术研发和技术转移。如果提到可替代能源,CEA

DPS: 这 些 不 同 的 领 域 是 否 都 属 于 CEA 和CAEA 签署的合作协议的一部分?

科尔迪耶先生 : CEA 和 CAEA 签署的协议是个无所不包的综合性

协议。基于上面提到的某些原因,目前我们与 CAEA 和 CNNC 的大部分

合作保留在核工业领域。

但是 CEA 在中国的活动不仅限于协议框架下的合作。CEA 与中国其他组

织之间还签署有别的协议,包括中科院和中国科学与技术部。

CEA也与一些中法多方研究机构的国际实验室有直接或间接的联系。例如,

几个月前,我参加了一个叫 MONOCL 机构的成立仪式,它主要从事季风,

海洋和气候的研究。事实上,为了研究地质气候,中法正在南海基地进行

训练。但是也有机构进行粒子物理学,有机化学等领域的研究。由此说来,

我们也不尽然只在核领域合作。

DPS:教育是 CEA 的关注点之一。2010 年,CEA 和中山大学合作建立了中法核工程与技术学院(IFCEN)。您能否告诉我们“法国国家核能科学与技术研究院”(INSTN)在这一新机构中的地位?

科尔迪耶先生 : 教育确实是 CEA 的一项重要任务,培训和知识的

传播是我们的核心任务之一。CEA 成立初期,INSTN 就是为保证核方面

知识的相应教育而创立的。由于它是 CEA 的一部分,许多老师其实就是

CEA 的科学家和工程师。INSTN 是核知识教育的示范性机构。

因此,当中法合办核教育类学院的主意萌生时,INSTN 和 CEA 就理所当

然的参与其中了。

IFCEN 于 2010 年创办于珠海市,中国方面,它是设立在广州中山大学并

与其合作的研究机构:法国方面,它是几个机构的联合体,由格勒诺布尔

技术学院牵头,INSTN,南特矿业学院,蒙彼利埃化学研究生院和巴黎国

家化工学院共同参与。

DPS:是谁资助这一机构的?

科尔迪耶先生 : 目前,资助费用由中法双方平均分摊。法国方面,

像 EDF(法国电力集团),AREVA(阿海珐)和 BV(法国船级局)这样

的工业集团是这笔资助费的主要承担者。

DPS:中法两国是否都承认在此学校获得的学位?

科尔迪耶先生 :当初的设想就是颁发中国学位证书,并在两国都认

可。当然,IFCEN 设在中国,所以学位证书是中国的证书。但是工程学院

的学位在法国也是适用的,我们也希望得到相关机构的认可(如法国工程师

职衔委员会)。很快一切都会步入正轨的,因为 2013 年 9 月第一届工程学

院学生将开始他们的课程。每个毕业班约 100 人,随着 6 年多课程的结束,

2016 年 9 月第一届学生将毕业,那时就有约 600 名核工程方面的人才诞生。

DPS:这样的大学合作项目会被复制到其他学校吗?还是你们只和中山大学开设这样的学院?

科尔迪耶先生 :目前没有复制这一项目的计划。我想在复制一个项目之

前,如果真的有必要扩大规模,最容易的办法就是增加每个班级的学生人数。

DPS:这一培训要求最初来自哪里?教育部门还是运营商?

科尔迪耶先生 : 这是两国的共同意愿:中国想要培训出具有法国核

能教育背景的工程师,因为法国是中国乃至世界核技术参考和借鉴的典范。

对法国来说,对外传播核能教育知识,有助于在华法国公司找到训练有素

的会说法语的中国工程师,这样就可以形成中 - 法 - 核能三位一体的文化

体系。对于 EDF,AREVA 和法国的中小企业来说,这样的三位一体文化

无疑是天赐之物!这也将有益于所有与法国有业务来往的中国公司—客户

公司或是作为合营企业的伙伴公司(如中广核)。对我而言,我的前任就

为此项目费尽心血,它真的是中法核能合作的伟大成就和中法变得更加强

大的鲜明例证,试问还有什么方法比创办学院更加适合为未来铺路呢?

在中国创办一所专注核能教育的机构,并采用法国的教学方法,这似乎是

满足中国宏伟的核电项目的巨大需求的最好方式。何况,也不可能在法国

培训这么多的需求人才。

IFCEN 的教育是依照法国高等专业院校或工程院校的教学原则进行的:3年的数学和物理的加强学习,外加 3 年的工程学习。另外,IFCEN 的中国

学生要求在此期间学习法语,这可不容易!

而且,培训的同时还有一些研发活动,这是工程学习期间要求做的。目前这些

都还在发展中,还可以做一些有意义的研究,比如建模,传感器,材料,安全等。

我会定期去那里,当法国专业人员参观田湾核电站时,他们也去 IFCEN演讲。最近的一次是 2012 年 4 月法国核安全局专员 Marie-Pierre Comets女士在 IFCEN 做出的演讲,她用法语讲授,学生们听得懂并用法语提问,

这真是太了不起了!

DPS:为外国学生提供教育的“国际核能研究院”(I2EN)和 IFCEN 的主要区别是什么?

科尔迪耶先生 : I2EN 实际上不是一个学院或者培训机构。它为法

国的合作伙伴提供核电行业人力资源发展方面最好的培训方案。它的运行

模式是这样的:I2EN 通过政府或企业收到外国的培训要求,分析他们的

请求,然后根据具体需求量身定制培训方案。另外,为了使对核知识培训

感兴趣的人找到满足他们培训需求的最好方案,I2EN 建立了一套完整的

仅在法国本土有效的核能培训课程登记体系,并对该体系不断的进行更新。

I2EN 的优势在于它连系着参与法国核能培训的各个单位:在法国相关部

门的监管下的 15多所大学或工程院校,企业公司(包括AREVA和EDF等)

和研究机构(包括 CEA,CNRS 和 ANDRA),共有 27 个伙伴单位聚集

量储存(电池)等方面一流的研发机构,例如 CEA 参与了 2005 年设立

的法国国家太阳能研究所项目。

63 专 访

在会议室里,会议由原子能机构的高级专员主持。

DPS:I2EN 是什么时候建立的?

科尔迪耶先生 : I2EN 是由当时的法国总统萨科奇在 2010 年 3 月

举办的“国际民用核能大会”上宣布成立的。几个月后,即 2010 年 9 月,

DPS:中国是否准备投资朱尔斯·霍洛维茨反应堆 ( 简称 JHR)?

科尔迪耶先生 : JHR 是一个功率达 100 兆瓦的材料试验反应堆(简称

MTR)。运用 JHR 我们可以模拟核电站(甚至在某些极端情况下)进行材料

筛选、鉴定以及燃料元件的质量检测。第二代核电技术(材料老化)、第三

代核电技术(燃料和材料)甚至第四代核电技术都可以用 JHR进行研发工作。

由于目前欧洲所有 MTR 都已运行了 40—50 年,设备已经相当老旧。因此

法国原子能机构决定制造该种设备,并向全球推广,以成立一个服务于核

电反应堆和燃料研发的基地。

JHR 将在核电研发方面发挥重要作用。一个月前我去了 JHR 建设现场,该

项目还在建设阶段。当我们决定生产 JHR 时,法国原子能机构表示要从一

开始就要向全球推广 JHR。

所有加入 JHR 协会的机构、企业或公用事业公司都可以对该实验设备的

使用权进行管理,并且在 JHR 的运营方面有发言权。而成为该协会会员

的前提是对该项目进行投资。JHR 由位于法国卡达拉舍(Cadarache)中

心的法国原子能机构管理。法国电力集团公司(EDF)和法国能源公司阿

海珐(Areva)也参与了该项目。JHR 的对外开放使用也分几个层面。如果

你是协会会员,你可以独立进行研发,研发成果将归你自己所有,并且作

为投资商,你将享有优先使用权;或者你也可以邀请其他团队进行联合项

目研发;如果其他非协会会员想要进行项目研发,就需要提交国际文件,

一般流程包括提议提交、协会董事会审议、提议通过或驳回。JHR 预计于

2016 年正式运行。

JHR 反应堆建设现场 图片来源于 CEA

DPS:中国的公司,比如,中国东方电气集团有限公司、上海电气集团股份有限公司、哈尔滨电气集团公司,在第三代核电技术制造资质方面面临一定问题。他们有资格投资 JHR 吗?

科尔迪耶先生 : 是的,如果他们有这个意愿就可以投资。JHR 协

会的成员是多样化的。例如,非法国本土的协会成员中,研发组织有比利

时核能研究中心、印度原子能部和芬兰国家技术研究中心;工业公司有瑞

典 Vattenfal 公司;国家协会有西班牙环境能源技术研究中心。所以无论

是外国制造商还是公用事业单位均可以加入 JHR 协会。

DPS:在新发布“核安全与放射性污染防治规划”中多次提到紧急状况下的撤离方案。法国国家原子能机构成立了紧急救援队 (FLS),这在马库勒(Marcoule) 很有名气。你们在此领域跟中方有什么合作吗?

科尔迪耶先生 : FLS 作为紧急情况的第一反应小组,对于法国原

它开始运营,直到 2011 年 6 月,它才正式成立。福岛核事故后,全世界

对核电的认识发生变化,各国放弃核电项目或者暂停拟建项目的传闻不绝

于耳,包括意大利,德国,瑞士等。事实是以中国为首,包括俄罗斯,波

兰,越南,土耳其和阿拉伯在内的更多国家通过行动证实了他们的核电计

划和承诺。所以 I2EN 在后福岛时代还完全保持着纽带作用,因为第一道

安全防线就是让人们接受最好的培训。I2EN 仍然在为满足这个需求和加

强全球核安全做出贡献。

DPS:法国原子能机构以拥有快中子增殖反应堆的专门技术而享誉全球。2004 年时任中国国家原子能机构主任的张华祝先生会晤了法国核能部的主任 Jacques Bouchard 先生。他们会谈的主要话题之一就是让中国加入“第四代核能系统国际论坛”。五年后,中国核工业集团董事长孙勤与 Bernard Bigot 先生就快堆签署了一项合作协议。此合作产生了什么样的效果?

科尔迪耶先生 : 中国加入第四代核能系统国际论坛(简称GIF)时,

Jacques Bouchard先生还是该论坛的主席。中国计划大力发展核电项目,

且实施的是闭式循环核电发展政策,因此对于 GIF 来说中国的加入显得

意义非凡。

法国在研发快堆方面有着悠久的历史,最著名的有凤凰快堆和超凤凰快堆。

现在中法两国依然在进行快堆的研发工作,如法国有 ASTRID 项目(先

进钠技术工业示范反应堆),中国有 CEFR(中国实验快堆)和 CIAE(中国原子能科学研究院)。中法两国在快堆领域已合作多年。我参观过

CEFR 两次,并有幸结识了中国工程院首席科学家徐銤—中国快堆事业的

开拓者和奠基人。他在法国也有很多朋友。现在两国的核电合作进展很顺

利。几个星期以前,中国原子能科学研究院和法国原子能机构在中国举行

了一次信息交流会。

未来这种合作将会延续。明年,法国的先进钠技术工业示范反应堆项目有

望得到批准,预计在本世纪 20 年代运行。而未来的中国核电项目众多,

如建造动力强大的反应堆项目、中国示范快堆项目以及为俄罗斯基地建造

两个 BN800 快堆项目。

子能机构的任何一个中心来说都是不可或缺的。福岛事件后,许多核电相

关单位都会想的一个问题是:“如果这种事发生在我们身上,我们应该怎

样做?”说实话,我认为在面临像福岛这样的重大事故,没有一个国家可

以做到完美应对。这是一个由重大自然灾害—地震和海啸引发的核电事故。

这次核事故令人深思,但是人们也从中汲取了经验教训。以法国为例,法

国电力集团公司成立了“快速反应核能部队”(简称 FARN)。法国公用

事业公司准备建造设备中心。发生事故时,这种中心可以在二十四小时内

启动核电站的辅助制冷设备和发电设备,且没有地点限制。

对于所有有核电项目的国家来说,核电安全都是头等大事。福岛事故之后

的核电安全成为各国热议和交流的一个主题。当然,从国际层面来说,国

际原子能组织成为该种议题讨论的主要交流机构。而就中法两国而言,也

存在这种交流。

近期,法国核事故应急协调委员会的代表团来到法国参观法国相关部门。

代表团会见了法国原子能安全委员会、放射防护与核安全研究员(IRSN)

的危机处理中心、法国电力集团及其“快速反应核能部队”。这次交流汇

集了全球核能部门所关心的核电问题,并且就好的解决方案和方法进行了

有效的交流。对于核安全来说,危机应急是不可缺少的。我认为,核安全

是所有核电国家都想实现的共同目标,所以对于合理的核电理念和有效的

核电方案进行交流合作符合各国利益。

DPS:阿海珐(Areva)正在和中国核工业集团公司(CNNC,简称中核)就中国建立再加工厂进行商谈,您有什么看法?

科尔迪耶先生 : 根据 2009 年中法两国发布的联合声明:阿海珐和

中核将会就在中国建立废料再加工厂进行商讨。这将是拉黑格工厂和梅洛

克斯的结合体。这是一个庞大的工程,我也真心希望这一项目能够早日得

以实现。阿海珐和中核还要就许多相关事宜进行协商,同时中法两国也要

就一项特殊的协议进行磋商。所以两国之间一直保持着沟通,所有进程都

在缓慢但却有序的进行着。

DPS:为再加工厂制造部件的公司和为核电站生产设备的公司有什么不同吗?

科尔迪耶先生 : 核电站建设是一个大型产业:全球运行中的反应堆

有 440 个,在建的有 60 个,其中有 40% 分布在中国。核电站建设是一个

成熟的产业,而且受到严格的控制。而人们对核废料再加工的了解并不多。

阿海珐的拉黑格核废料再加工工厂在产业运作和商业运营方面都没有后顾

之忧,因此在核废料再加工领域显得比较特别。中法两国决定推进核燃料

闭式循环体系建设。

对于那些正在建造核废料再加工工厂的公司来说,参与这种项目的机会也

就只有一次,因为所有的设备都是专门为工厂定制的。例如,像用于将乏

燃料剪切成几厘米长的剪切机和将乏燃料碎片浸入热硝酸进行溶解的旋转

溶解器这种独特复杂的设备,以及抗损坏设备都是废料再加工厂的必备品,

但是这种设备基本上只需制造一次就可以了。

也就是说,参与核燃料循环项目的公司和参与核电站项目的公司没有什么

区别。这两个项目都需要高科技部件,且都要满足国际核电产业的质量要

求。例如,日本东芝、日立和三菱重工公司参与了日本青森县核废料处理

厂的建设,同时也参与了核电站的设计和建造项目。

DPS:在中国的核废料再加工项目中,谁占据领导地位?是阿海珐还是法国原子能机构?

科尔迪耶先生 : 根据中法两国于 2009 年 12 月颁布的联合公告,

阿海珐和中核集团正在就在中国建立核废料再加工厂这一事宜进行洽谈。

阿海珐的拉黑格核废料再加工厂多年成功运行为阿海珐积累了丰富的运营

经验,而拉黑格工厂用的化学加工技术却是由法国原子能机构提供的。并

且,根据此公告,中法政府间还会就该项目的实施签署一份协议,其中法

国原子能机构代表法国就协议内容同与中方进行洽谈。

DPS:法国原子能机构(CEA)的研究引发了新兴公司的建立和专利的产生,这些专利由外国和法国的公司所使用。中国是否也在发展类似的制度?

科尔迪耶先生 : 每个国家都面临一个相同的问题,也就是如何

完成从基础研究到成品制造的转型。我们把这一现象成为“死亡谷”:

如何完成从依靠公共基金进行研发,到依靠企业投资研制产品,再到制

造可以面向市场销售的产品这样一个转型?而“死亡谷”是失败和成功

的分界线,跨过去就是成功,跨不过去就是失败。我们在法国原子能机

构设有技术研发部(DRT)。这个部门的主要职责是与企业合作伙伴密

切合作,并协助其完成从研发到产业的过渡。法国原子能机构主要涉及

的三个领域包括微电子学和纳米技术(LETI)、软件密集系统 (LIST) 和替代能源与纳米材料 (LITEN)。不得不提的是,大约有 150 家企业

是在这种研发过程中成立的,以 SOITEC 为例,它的营业额达到 3 亿

欧元。

技术研发部(DRT)也在考虑与国外企业或研发伙伴进行合作。美国和日

本已经建立了有效的合作战略,他们外派工程师对潜在合作企业所在国家

进行考察,以决定是否可以建立合作关系。几个月前,DRT 的一个代表加

入了 CEA,她现在正在对中国市场进行调查。由于我们刚刚开始对中国进

行此项调研,所以现在我很难回答中国是否会发展类似的制度。

LETI 实验室净化室 图片来源于 CEA

DPS: 您对中法两国在未来的核电合作有什么看法?

科尔迪耶先生 : 我一直强调中法两国在核电领域的长久合作。今年

10 月中国国务院出台了新的核电政策,中国的新建核电项目面临着向第

三代核电反应堆转型的问题。这对于我们来说也是一个转折点。

法国大部分机组建于 20 世纪 80 年代,现在法国有核电反应堆 58 个,其

输出电量占本国总电量的 75%。因此中法合作是天作之合—法国拥有先

进的技术和运营经验,而中国的核电市场朝气蓬勃,存在大量潜在核电项

目。台山核电站的反应堆是由中广核、法国电力集团和阿海珐共同建造的,

这一项目体现了中法两国在核产业的高精技术,同时也是两国合作的最好

例证。同时,他们现在正在就一个 1000 兆瓦的类反应堆项目进行洽谈。

中法两国的合作不仅仅局限于反应堆,在上文所述的其它领域也有合作。

这种合作是国家间最高级别的合作,且是没有偏差、相互平等的合作。

总之,中法合作已经成功走过了三十年,我相信未来的发展之路将更加顺

畅。就我自己而言,我将努力做好本职工作,为中法合作做出贡献。同时

我也希望三十年后,我的接班人能够为他们在这个岗位做出的贡献感到自

豪!

由阿海珐管理的工程师共同建造台山核电站一期二期项目。

Andolenko 说:“ 中国企业在所有主要方面广泛、深入地参与台

山核电项目。”“CGNPC 工程师正在进行一项规模巨大的工程 ——欧洲和中国加起来总共需耗费 150 万小时,并

参与了台山 EPR 反应堆的详细设计 ”。2008-2011 期间,CGNPC 的 190 多位工程师作为法

国核电集团自力更生计划的一部分加入了阿海

珐的采访中说道:“ 我们将之前从 EPR 项目总

结出的经验全部运用到台山核电站项目中 ”,该项目的成功归功于 EPR 的舰队系列效应以及

CGNPC 与阿海珐的密切协作)。

30 年的合作

阿海珐是中国电力工业的第一批国外合作伙伴之一,已对中国的核工业发展做出了巨大的

贡献:20 世纪 80 年代中期首次与中国合作建设大亚湾核电站(NPP)项目,随后是岭澳

核电站项目,这两个项目均位于广东省深圳市。

阿海珐中国区总裁 Andolenko 说道:“ 在中国目前正在运作的 15 个核电站中,阿海珐直接

和间接参与了其中六个核电站的建设。” 目前,中国在建的 26 个反应堆中的 19 个采用了

阿海珐技术,特别是配置了大亚湾和岭澳核电站一期设计演变的产物 —— 中国设计软件

CPR-1000。阿海珐在中国的队伍不断扩大,共有办事处 12 个,员工 850 多人,并与中国主泵制造和核

心仪表领域的关键核电企业共同建立了数个合资企业。

2005年,阿海珐与中国东方电气集团公司(DEC)共同建立了阿海珐 -东方电气合资公司(AD JV)。该公司法方和中方各持股 50%,主要从事主泵制造,目前向中国的主要公共事业单

位定期供应反应堆冷却泵。目前已制造完成但未交付的泵有六十个,计划在 2012 年夏季开

始扩建,已满足不断增长的需求。

2010 年,阿海珐与中国广东核电集团(CGNPC)共同建立了北京反应堆核心控制(BRIC)

合资公司,对压水反应堆核心仪表系统进行设计和开发。

2011 年签了两个大订单,2011 年底交付了第一批设备。

前沿燃料合作关系

根据中国目前配置的大型核电计划,中国核燃料市场有望强劲增

长。中国核工业集团公司(CNNC)估计,截止 2015 年,锆管

的年需求量为 1500 km,截止 2020 年,锆管的年需求量为 2000 km。为满足这一需求并确保燃料供应安全,2010 年阿海珐与

CNNC共同建立了制造并销售PWR燃料组件用锆管的合资企业,

并建立了持久的合作关系。

中核阿海珐上海锆管有限公司(简称 CAST)是阿海珐与 CNNC各子公司共同建立的持股比例各占为 50% 的合资企业,下属

台山核电站 EPR1 号反应堆建筑封顶,2011 年 10 月。 本图由 EDF/TNPJVC 提供。

子公司有:全球领先的锆部件制造商

CEZUS 以及专业制造各种锆管的上海

高泰锆管有限公司(SGTC)。CAST合资企业将为中国的两家燃料组件制造

厂生产套管:即四川省宜宾市的 CJNF以及内蒙古包头市的 CNNFC,生产出

的套管仅供国内的公共事业单位使用。

目前,CAST 制造厂的 70 名员工已接

受阿海珐团队的培训。该厂将于 2012年底开始运行,并在 2011 年逐渐达到

300km 管 / 年的生产量,2015 年将达到

1500km 管 / 年的生产量,届时将创造

工作岗位 140 个。2011 年 7 月,CAST通过秦山核电站反应堆的锆合金 4 管

认证。2011 年 10 月,合资企业向秦山

核电站一期项目交付了第一批加料装置

(13 台)。

CAST 合资企业的创立标志着阿海珐与

CNNC 的合作关系迈出了新的一步。在

燃料设计和制造领域,自 1991 年起,

两家公司一直不断努力,并进行了两次技术转让。

1991 年 5 月签订的首次技术转让协议是针对 AFA 2G 燃料组件的,

并包括提供制造燃料组件所需的设备以及向 CJNF(中核建中核燃

料元件)制造厂提供技术服务。该厂 1996 年通过相关认证,同年

交付了第一批 AFA 2G 加料装置。1998 年,阿海珐与 CNNC 继续

合作,进行 AFA 3G 设计。目前,CJNF 为大亚湾 / 岭澳和浙江秦

山核电站以及 CPR1000 新建核电站的压水反应堆提供了所需的全

部燃料。

CNNFC 制造厂是阿海珐与 CNNC 密切合作三年的成果,2010 年

4 月取得 AFA 3G 燃料组件生产的资格证书。凭借阿海珐最新的法

国和德国先进技术,CNNFC 制造厂现正为秦山核电站的 3 号反应

堆制造第一批燃料组件加料装置。目前,AFA 3G 组件中使用的关

键进口部件全部由阿海珐提供,这些部件用于中国大部分第二代

PWR 反应堆中。2011 年,该集团刷新了向中国交付的部件记录,

大约交付了 1600 个燃料组件和相关控制棒束,即一个 1000 MWe PWR 有 30 个加料装置。

展望未来,阿海珐将支持 CJNF 项目每年扩容 400 吨的计划,并

协助 CNNFC 创建电网制造机组。这些新项目进一步巩固了阿海

珐在促进中国核燃料市场增长和加强套管生产能力的重要地位。

核安全与放射性污染防治“十二五”规划及 2020年远景目标

前言党中央、国务院历来高度重视核安全与放射性污染防治工作,有关部门和企事业单位认真贯彻落实国家确定的方针政策,我国核能与核技术利用事业

多年来保持了良好的安全业绩。日本福岛核事故发生后,国务院立即做出重要部署,明确要求抓紧编制核安全规划。本规划深入分析当前核安全工作

中存在的薄弱环节,坚持 “ 安全第一、质量第一 ” 的根本方针,力争至 “ 十二五 ” 末我国核能与核技术利用安全水平进一步提高,辐射环境安全风险

明显降低;到 2020 年,核电安全保持国际先进水平,核安全与放射性污染防治水平全面提升,辐射环境质量保持良好,为保障我国核能与核技术利

用事业安全、健康、可持续发展提供坚实有力的支撑。

一 . 现状与形式目前,我国已经形成较为完整的核工业体系,核能在优化能

源结构、保障能源安全、促进污染减排和应对气候变化等方面发

挥了重要作用。2011 年 3 月 11 日本福岛核事故后,进一步保障

核安全与防治放射性污染任务更加艰巨和紧迫,相关工作面临新

的形势和挑战。

(一)核安全与放射性污染防治取得积极进展。

1. 核安全保障体系渐趋完善。

参考国际原子能机构和核能先进国家有关安全标准,我国

已基本建立了覆盖各类核设施和核活动的核安全法规标准体系。

2003 年以来,先后颁布并实施了一系列部门规章、导则和标准等

文件,为保障核安全奠定了良好基础。初步形成了以营运单位、

集团公司、行业主管部门和核安全监管部门为主的核安全管理体

系,以及由国家、省、营运单位构成的核电厂核事故应急三级管

理体系。核安全文化建设不断深入,专业人才队伍配置渐趋齐全,

质量保证体系不断完善。核安全监管部门审评和监督能力逐步提

高,运行核电厂及周边环境辐射监测网络基本建立。在汶川地震

等重特大灾害应急抢险中,我国政府决策果断、行动高效,有效

化解了次生自然灾害带来的核安全风险,核安全保障体系发挥了

重大作用。

2. 放射性污染防治稳步推进。

近年来,国家不断加大放射性污染防治力度,早期核设施退

役和历史遗留放射性废物治理稳步推进。

成就包括:

--- 多个微堆及放化实验室的退役已经完成。

-- 一批中、低放废物处理设施已建成。

--2 座中、低放废物处置场已投入运行,1 座中、低放废物处

置场开始建设。

--完成一批铀矿地质勘探、矿冶设施的退役及环境整治项目,

尾矿库垮坝事故风险降低,污染得到控制,环境质量得到改善。

-- 废旧放射源得到及时回收,一批老旧辐照装置完成退役。

国家废放射源集中贮存库及各省(区、市)放射性废物暂存库基

本建成。

总的来说,从业人员平均辐照剂量远低于国家限值。

(二)核安全与放射性污染防治面临挑战。

1. 安全形势不容乐观。

我国核电多种堆型、多种技术、多类标准并存的局面给安全

管理带来一定难度,运行和在建核电厂预防和缓解严重事故的能

力仍需进一步提高。铀矿冶开发过程中环境问题依然存在。放射

源和射线装置量大面广,安全管理任务重。

2. 科技研发需要加强。

核安全科学技术研发缺乏总体规划。现有资源分散、人才匮乏、

研发能力不足。法规标准的制(修)订缺少科技支撑,基础科学

和应用技术研究与国际先进水平总体差距仍然较大,制约了我国

核安全水平的进一步提高。

3. 应急体系需要完善。

核事故应急管理体系需要进一步完善,核电集团公司在核事

故应急工作中的职责需要进一步细化。核电集团公司内部及各核

电集团公司之间缺乏有效的应急支援机制,应急资源储备和调配

能力不足。地方政府应急指挥、响应、监测和技术支持能力仍需

提升。核事故应急预案可实施性仍需提高。

4. 监管能力需要提升。

核安全监管能力与核能发展的规模和速度不相适应。核安全

监管缺乏独立的分析评价、校核计算和实验验证手段,现场监督

执法装备不足。全国辐射环境监测体系尚不完善,监测能力需大

力提升。

核安全公众宣传和教育力量薄弱,核安全国际合作、信息公

开工作有待加强,公众参与机制需要完善。核安全监管人才缺乏,

能力建设投入不足。

二 . 指导思想、原则和目标 (一)指导思想。

以邓小平理论和“三个代表”重要思想为指导,深入贯彻落

实科学发展观,坚持“安全第一、质量第一”的根本方针,以法

规标准为准绳,以科技进步为先导,以基础能力为支撑,进一步

明确责任、优化机制、严格管理、持续改进、消除隐患,不断提

高我国核安全与放射性污染防治水平,确保核安全、环境安全和

公众健康,推动核能与核技术利用事业安全、健康、可持续发展。

(二)基本原则。

预防为主,纵深防御。

新老并重,防治结合。

依靠科技,持续改进。

坚持法治,严格监管。

L-3 MAPPS: 紧凑型输入 / 输出(I/O)系统解决方案

Page 74: Your Window to the Chinese Nuclear Market

74 科技文章

L-3 MAPPS 最近的全范围仿真机一直使用紧凑型输入 / 输出系统解决方案和仿真机输入 / 输出系统的替代方案。这篇文章以Orchid® IO 为例,阐述了这项技术的广泛应用。

输入 / 输出系统是所有核电站仿真机的重要组成部分。这项系统负责将操作员的操作传给仿真系统,然后提供操作员操作设备所需的视觉线索(显示和警报)。它实际上是操作电站模型的模拟服务器和仿真机主控室面板之间的数据链路。

近几年,L-3 MAPPS 为不同的项目工程配置了几种输入 / 输出系统。几年前,当 L-3 MAPPS 从它原来的输入 / 输出设备供应商那里得知觅到传统的数据通路 SC I/O 系统所需的几种电子元件很难之后,它决定为客户重新评估并选择一种全新的,性价比高的输入 / 输出系统解决方案。因此,L-3 MAPPS 针对来自美国,加拿大,中国,德国,西班牙等全球不同的供应商提供的 23 种输入 / 输出系统解决方案进行了全面的技术评估。评估标准包括高可靠性,非专属性,高可利用性(全球),较大的用户基础,可扩展性,灵活性(集中和分散结构)和成本等。

虽然 L-3 MAPPS 找到了几种非常适合用户需求的几种输入 /输出系统,我们在这里只讨论被广泛使用的解决方案中的一种。

紧凑型输入 / 输出解决方案

L-3 MAPPS 采取的方案是全程仿真机和仿真机 I/O 替换项目都采用紧凑型 I/O 系统。选定的紧凑型 I/O 解决方案其实是市场上最小的模块化的,现场总线独立的,低能耗的分散型 I/O 系统。这项创新技术是由两家制造商共同提出的,被用于工业自动化,楼宇自动化,船舶自动化以及在岸 / 离岸公司应用:德国 WAGO 和德国 Beckhoff 公司。每个制造商在世界范围内都有许多经销商。L-3 MAPPS采用了两家的技术,用于不同的项目上。I/O模块体积极小:12mm (W) X 65mm (H) X 100mm (L)。

所有的 I/O 模块安装在标准 35mm DIN 导轨上,而不需要专用的底架或底板。一组模块中的第一个 I/O 模块(I/O 节点)通常是以太网控制器,它读取 / 写入到 / 从本地总线(连接相邻的 I/O 模块)

紧凑型输入 / 输出(I/O)系统解决方案

并与模拟服务器连接。以太网控制器比标准模块宽约 3 倍,使用中继器模块的话(64 个模块以内无需中继模块),最多可支持 255 个 I/O 模块。如果超过 64个模块,可以在特定节点上添加所需的总线扩展器。以太网控制器也还具有运行用户可编程的控制逻辑的能力,该逻辑可以被用来驱动需要更快的更新率的特殊设备(例如同步示波器)。各种各样的 I/O 模块可用于专门的应用程序,以补充高密度标准颜色编码的模块,如模拟输入(最多 8个通道),模拟输出(最多 8 个通道),数字输入(最多 16 个通道)和数字输出(最多 16 个通道)。为了便于维护,I/O 模块具有内置式接线端子,模块可以方便地进行更换。所有的 I/O 模块使用被动式通风,从而比传统的 I/O 系统制造更少的机箱噪音。

Orchid® I/O

Orchid I/O 解决方案离不开强大的 Orchid I/O 软件。该软件可以在模拟服务器或专用的 I/O 电脑上运行。Orchid I/O 处理工程,电气单位换算,并与模拟和各种 I/O 节点连接。Orchid I/O 包含配置,维护和故障诊断整个 I/O 系统等必要的功能。它允许硬件工程师和技术人员监控所有的 I/O 节点的安全状况,并强制和监视单个 I/O 节点。该软件还包含详细的故障排除历史记录。Orchid I/O能够从不同类型的 I/O 系统中无缝集成 I/O 节点。Orchid I/O 还提供详细的现成文件。

全范围仿真机

L-3 MAPPS 使用 Orchid 输入 / 输出技术,为阿根廷国有电力企业阿根廷核电公司拥有的恩巴尔赛核电站(位于阿根廷科尔多瓦省)研发了一台全范围仿真机。这台全范围仿真机目前在蒙特利尔的一家工厂接受工厂验收试验。L-3MAPPS 使用同样的技术,也为南非国家电力公司 Eskom 的科布尔核电站(位于南非开普敦西部)制造了一台仿真机。

I/O 系统替代方案

目前,L-3 MAPPS 与太平洋煤气和电力公司合作一个项目,以Orchid IO取代代阿布洛峡谷核电站(美国加利福尼亚州)传统的 I/O 系统。这个项目的独特之处是 L-3 MAPPS 设计了一个自定义的 I/O 底架并带有连接器适配器,使传统的 I/O 连接器接口新的紧凑型 I/O 模块。紧凑型 I/O 模块既可以安装在底盘上,也可以安装在现有的机架或面板控制室的墙壁等任何方便的地方。该解决方案的主要优点是,仪表盘架的现有导线不受干扰。

Orchid IO 也被新不伦瑞克电力公司选中为莱普罗角核电站(加拿大新不伦瑞克省)的仿真机提供一个先进的(面板与面板)I/O 替代方案。新不伦瑞克电力公司选择在我们的支持下升级自己。该项目目前正在进行中。

电厂分布式控制系统软件验证

紧凑型 I/O 解决方案另一个潜在应用是分布式控制系统(DCS)软件验证。L-3 MAPPS 提供给美国阿莫林密苏里分公司卡拉威核电厂(美国密苏里州)一台工程仿真机,在电厂进行实际安装之前,它的作用是辅助给水控制系统刺激西门子SPPA-T3000 综合控制系统(ICS)。

工程仿真机使用 Orchid IO 在 ICS 和运行工厂模型的模拟服务器之间传输数据。工程仿真机还包含一个软件开关来选择传统的模拟给水控制系统或者新的模拟综合控制系统。

把 Orchid IO 作为神经系统,紧凑型 I/O 解决方案现在已经在全范围仿真器上得到了验证。对于老化的仿真机来说,当

对于 I/O 网络上任何计算机的 I/O 系统,Orchid® IO 软件都提供必要的配置,监控,排解故障功能。

传统的 I/O 系统已经过时,可利用的备用配件数量不足而难以确保仿真机持续安全运行时,I/O 系统的升级就是必须的。 L-3 MAPPS 的 Orchid IO 系统就传统的 I/O 系统老化问题提供了一个可信的方案。由 L-3 MAPPS 提供的解决方案是有效益的,可靠的,易于使用的,灵活的,可扩展的,并充分利用现代化的,广泛使用的 I/O 设备,前景无限。

方大炭素进入核级炭素制品生产领域

近日,方大炭素研发建设历时四年的重大科技项目 ―― 高温气冷堆炭堆内构件制造项目通过专家审核小组审核,并正式开工生产。这意味着方大炭素正式进入了核级炭素制品的生产领域,填补了我国高温气冷堆炭堆内构件生产制造技术和产品的空白。

方大炭素一位高管人员表示,公司核级炭素材料自主研发实现了核电关键材料的国产化。同时,因为价格仅为进口产品的三分之一,更具备市场优势。

高温气冷堆具有安全性好、发电效率高、小容量模块化建造等特点,其冷却剂出口温度可达 950 ~ 1000℃ ,不仅可以直接发电,提高发电效率,而且可以作为高温热源,提供高温工艺热,用于制氢、煤的气化、液化、直接炼钢等,从而打破了核能只能用于发电和低品质热能的限制,扩大了核能应用领域。同时高温气冷堆的固有安全性,选址更加灵活。高温气冷堆正好适应了全球正在兴起的电力系统发展趋势对电厂的要求。在美、韩等国相继推动的第四代核能系统发展规划中,高温气冷堆是优先发展的技术,也是最有希望成为适应未来能源市场安全和经济需要的首选堆型之一。

2008 年方大炭素与华能山东石岛湾核电有限公司和中核能源科技有限公司三方签订了《高温气冷堆核电站示范工程碳堆内构件制造技术研究合同》,公司作为该项目的唯一中标企业接受委托进行高温气冷堆核电站示范工程碳堆内构件关键技术的研究。

2011 年,方大碳素高温气冷堆炭堆内构件生产技术及依据 HAF003 建立的核质保体系获国家核安全局《民用核安全机械设备制造许可证》,通过了《高温气冷堆炭堆内构件制造项目》生产工艺评定,标志着该公司具备了批量生产核级炭材料的资质。

此次,6 人专家审核小组对该项目做了开工投料前的最后核查。核查组仔细审阅了炭堆内构件项目所涉及的体系文件,参观检查了原料仓储现场、炭堆内构件成型设备及加工线、成品库房、设备部物资库等关键部位。

经专家组严格审核和现场检查,一致认为公司炭堆内构件项目所涉及的人员培训、设备安装、工艺文件、质保体系等运行有效,现场设备及仓储环境等标识明确,达到炭堆内构件投产条件,同意公司炭堆内构件制造正式投料生产。

作为国内目前唯一一家具有生产核级炭素制品的炭素企业,方大炭素炭堆内构件制造项目成功开工投料,标志着方大炭素具备了生产核级炭材料的能力,对我国核电发展具有重要意义。

内蒙古现国内最大世界级铀矿 核电获强力保障

据新华社电记者昨日从国土资源部获悉,由中央地质勘查基金投资实施的内蒙古中部大营地区铀矿勘查取得重大突破,发现国内最大规模的可地浸砂岩型铀矿床。连同此前的勘查成果,该地区累计控制铀资源量跻身于世界级大矿行列。这对我国立足国内提高铀资源供应,提高核电发展资源保障能力有重大意义。

内蒙古中部大营地区铀矿勘查实现找矿重大突破,主要得益于中央地质勘查基金 “ 煤铀兼探 ” 的勘查思路创新,即根据区域矿产分布规律,进行勘查技术优化组合,在开展煤炭勘查的同时,利用煤炭钻孔同步进行放射性测井和编录,探索砂岩型铀矿存在的可能性。在发现并圈定一系列重大铀矿找矿靶区后,果断决策开展铀矿勘查会战。

据悉,中央地质勘查基金管理中心组织了分别隶属于中国核工业集团、中国煤炭地质总局、内蒙古国土资源厅和地勘局的 4 支勘查队伍、28 台钻机、500 余名勘查技术和施工人员,顶严寒、冒酷暑,精心组织、科学施工,苦战 300 天,一举实现大营铀矿勘查的快速重大突破。

“ 煤铀兼探 ” 找矿新思路实现了一矿变双矿的创举。中央地质勘查基金在该地区既勘查评价了一处资源量达 510 亿吨的超大型煤矿,又发现了一处超大型铀矿。不仅节省了大量铀矿前期找矿投资,同时也缩短了 4 至5年的铀矿勘查周期,预计开发利用后可取得显著的经济效益和社会效益。

我国核电行业或面临不小调整

五大发电集团之中唯一具有控股核电项目建设的中电投集团,正在挂牌出售旗下辽宁核电有限公司 ( 下称 “ 辽宁核电 ”)100% 的股权。这家成立于 2005 年公司曾经肩负着开发辽宁红沿河核电项目的使命,但在中广核集团接手红沿河项目之后,辽宁核电开始把更多精力转向该地区的其它厂址。在此次被挂牌出售之前,辽宁核电已经淡出业界视线很久。

中投顾问新能源行业研究员萧函认为,中电投 “ 抛弃 ” 自己的下属企业并不能说明其完全退出核电领域的决心,不过,此举却透漏出一个强烈的信号:我国核电行业或面临不小调整。

首先,沿海核电站的获批标志着我国核电重启的序幕正式拉开,诸多规划好的沿海核电站有望尽快投入建设,我国核电发展的道路不会停止。其中,中核和中广核两大核电巨头将受益匪浅,其凭借垄断优势将进一步扩大市场份额,诸多中小企业面临被淘汰出局的危险,核电行业结构将更加 “ 单一 ”。

其次,内陆核电站的暂时搁浅将加剧某些核电企业的营收困境。多数内陆核电企业在尚未获得路条的情况下就动工建设,前期投入巨大,资金、人才、技术的消耗比较严重。而这些企业如今将面临尚未取得丝毫盈利就被迫退出的局面,诸多设备厂商或能将销售重点转移到沿海核电站,而核电建设、营运企业恐难收回巨额投入。

最后,我国核电道路越来越不明晰。去核化是世界核电行业的主流方向,我国贸然重启核电已经是犯了大忌,而部分核电项目尽快上马的决定令人匪夷所思。若核电并非未来中国能源版图的重要组成部分,国家应当及时调整核电规划;而若核电在我国未来能源构成中占据重大比重,为何不趁早启动内陆核电呢?

中投顾问研究总监张砚霖指出,毋庸置疑,国内核电项目的发展对短期内能源安全具有重大意义,不过对未来能源电力的影响却令人堪忧。从过去一年电力行业的发展情况可以看出,核电缺失并未对我国电力安全造成多大影响,待太阳能、风能得到有效开发后,实现零核电并非 “白日做梦 ”。

核电重启呈现短期利好

上周,国务院总理温家宝主持召开国务院常务会议,讨论通过《能源发展 “十二五 ”规划》,并再次讨论并通过《核电安全规划(2011-2020年)》和《核电中长期发展规划(2011-2020 年)》。

会议对当前和今后一个时期的核电建设作出了部署,“ 十二五 ” 时期只在沿海安排少数经过充分论证的核电项目厂址,不安排内陆核电项目;提高准入门槛,按照全球最高安全要求新建核电项目。新建核电机组必须

符合三代安全标准。

业内人士表示,上述两个规划的通过,意味着目前核电项目重新审批已不存在政策障碍,标志着自福岛核电站事故暂停约一年半的核电建设全面重启。国海证券 (000750, 股吧 ) 表示,乐观预计 11 月将恢复核准新核电站的建设,首批机组规模有望达到 4400MW,根据目前在建机组情况,预计到 2015 年我国将建成 40596MW 核电机组,也就是在目前基础上再新建 28000MW 核电机组,2012-2013 年是其交货高峰年。

平安证券表示,从短期看,堆型 “ 真空 ” 状态将破冰,在 AP1000 首堆正式投运之前的过渡期间,预计有部分不存在堆型争议的项目会提前审批,如石岛湾高温气冷堆项目、田湾 VVER 项目、CPR1000 项目福清、阳江等尾堆等 7 个堆没有堆型争议或已难更改堆型,将作为核电重启先锋首先审批。

中广核拟与中核合资建核燃料公司

中国两大核电巨头 —— 中核集团与中广核集团正在谋划在核燃料生产领域进行合作,消息人士 11 月 8 日对本报记者透露。

虽然两大核电巨头之间存在着一定的竞争关系,但双方仍然在当下的核电市场中找到了可以合作的领域。上述消息人士称,中核集团与中广核集团对核燃料产业的合作形成了初步共识,但很多现实问题还在磋商之中。

他表示,目前已有的思路是通过建设一个核燃料产业园实现合作,即将从天然铀到核燃料组件生产的整个产业链都纳入到这个产业园之中。如果合作成功,中广核集团将可以进入核燃料元件生产领域。

双方股比初步分配是中核集团占股 51%,中广核集团占 49%。由于磋商仍在进行,具体的合作内容未来还将会调整。

该消息人士称,中核集团与中广核集团都希望能尽快推进项目启动,并争取在明年开工,但市场定位的问题将可能导致项目进度不会过于迅速。

中广核铀业发展公司副总经理魏其岩在 11 月 8 日的演讲中表示,该公司规划未来将进入核燃料元件生产领域。

近年来,中广核集团在国内外天然铀市场收获颇丰,已经在哈萨克斯坦、乌兹别克斯坦、澳大利亚、纳米比亚等国家成立了铀矿方面的合资企业。

魏其岩介绍,中广核集团在纳米比亚的 Husab 铀矿项目已经于今年10 月开工建设。按计划该矿经过三年建设后可以投产,并逐步达成最大产能,据测算最大产能将能达到 5700 吨铀 / 年。

然而,虽然握有丰富的铀矿资源,中广核集团在核燃料生产领域仍是空白。由于核电技术出口通常都要配套向客户提供相应的核燃料元件,对于一直谋求实现核电出口的中广核集团来说,核燃料元件是其产业链中的短板。而且即便在国内,中广核集团未来将运营更多核电站的现实情况,也要求其在核燃料元件供应上有更强的控制力。

目前,中国核燃料元件生产企业主要包括中核建中核燃料元件公司、中核北方核燃料元件有限公司、中核包头核燃料元件股份有限公司。其中,前两家为中核集团下属公司。中核包头核燃料元件股份有限公司则是由前两家企业及国家核电技术公司共同出资成立,分别持股 15%、50% 和35%,主要目的是实现 AP1000 核燃料自主化生产。

罗马尼亚核电渴望中国投资 中方有意

深陷经济危机的罗马尼亚将来自中国的投资看作其重振发展的 “ 救命稻草 ”。该国表示欢迎一切形式来自中国投资,包括参与建设最新的两座核电站反应堆,而中国投资方也已经表露出了参与其中的兴趣。不过德国媒体指出,罗马尼亚更多地希望新建核电站能为其在欧洲能源政策方面争取地缘政治话语权。

据 “ 德国之声 ”10 月 31 日报道,罗马尼亚经济部长 10 月 30 日称,有意参与罗马尼亚核电厂建设项目的中国企业为中国广东核电集团,该集团将有可能为罗马尼亚东南部切尔纳沃德 (Cernavoda) 核电站的第三和第四个核反应堆提供 40% 的资金,筹建领域包括电器设备、汽轮机以及发电机设施的建造。据估计,这两座即将兴建的核电站将总共耗资约 51 亿美元。报道称,如若投资落实,中国广东核电集团将占有切尔纳沃德三、四号核反应堆 40% 的股权。

报道指出,罗马尼亚其实并非真正需要依靠核电来保证该国的电能供应。实际上,切尔纳沃德核电站目前已有的两座核反应堆正处于运行中,提供了全国 18% 的电力,而新建核电站所产电能将主要出口欧洲,以此增加罗马尼亚在欧洲能源政策方面争取地缘政治话语权。

此外,由于受经济危机的影响,罗马尼亚过去几年的投资额一直下降,各个领域的投资需求都很旺盛,因此,和中国合作不仅是能源政策的重要组成部分,也是是吸引境外投资的重大举措。

“ 德国之声 ” 罗马尼亚组主任施瓦茨分析称,罗马尼亚非常愿意成为中国投资欧洲的大门。来自中国的投资对于罗马尼亚来说就好像是新鲜氧气。所以,罗马尼亚欢迎中方的各种投资。不仅仅是在核电站方面。在风能、水能、热力发电以及基础设施建设方面都盼望着能和中国合作。可以说,罗马尼亚希望快速成为一个令中国感兴趣的市场。

据罗马尼亚经济部长透露,他此前还向中方发出了参与建设热力和水力发电厂的邀请,投资需求估计在 30 亿美元。

田湾核电站有望成首个核电重启项目

中国核工业集团公司昨日发布消息称,国家发改委副主任、国家能源局局长刘铁男近日在田湾核电站视察时表示,核电发展对于促进国家节能减排和保障能源可持续发展方面具有重要作用,田湾核电站 3、4 号机组有望成为我国在《核电安全规划(2011-2020 年)》和《核电中长期发展规划(2011-2020 年)》批准后首个启动的新建核电项目。

据了解,田湾核电站为中俄战略合作项目,厂址位于江苏省连云港(601008, 股吧 ) 市连云区田湾,符合此前国务院常务会议提出的沿海核电项目厂址条件。“ 田湾核电站的安全性、可靠性较高,当前的准备工作也比较充分,所以能够成为率先启动的新建项目。” 厦门大学中国能源经济研究中心主任林伯强预计,年底之前田湾核电站 3、4 号机组将开工建设。不过田湾核电站在原本设计上属于二代改进型核电技术,而按照国务院 “新建核电机组必须符合三代安全标准 ” 的要求,3、4 号机组在重启前应该改成三代技术,这意味着其在技术设计、设备安装等方面的资金成本都将大幅提高。

数据显示,我国目前正在运行的核电装机容量为 1256 万千瓦,在建装机容量为 2944 万千瓦,两者相加已经超过 4000 万千瓦。林伯强预计,到 “ 十二五 ” 末,我国核电装机运行容量达到 4000 万千瓦的目标可以实现,按国务院当前谨慎重启的态度,2020 年的装机容量预计不会超过 8000万千瓦。

山东三大核电项目两项落定 石岛湾年底开建

山东核电建设近期提速。经济导报记者 26 日从参与石岛湾核电建设的内部人士处获悉,华能山东石岛湾核电厂有望今年 12 月中旬正式动工 —— 浇筑核岛 ( 核电厂中核蒸汽供应系统及其配套设施以及其所在厂房的总称 ),这将是山东继烟台海阳核电站之后开建的第二座核电站。

24 日,温家宝主持召开国务院常务会议,再次讨论并通过《核电安全规划 (2001 - 2020 年 )》和《核电中长期发展规划 (2011 -2020 年 )》。会议指出,恢复核电项目正常建设,但 “‘ 十二五 ’ 时期只在沿海安排少数项目 ”,并且 “ 新建机组必须符合三代安全标准 ”。据前述人士透露,石岛湾核电厂正是符合这样的条件,才有了获批的机会。

至此,山东省内的三大核电规划项目 —— 海阳核电、石岛湾核电、乳山红石顶核电,已有两项落定。

内陆核电项目唯有静待“十三五”

日前,国务院通过了《核能安全规划 (2011-2020 年 )》和《核电中长期发展规划 (2011-2020 年 )》,其中规定我国稳妥恢复正常建设、不安排内陆核电项目、机组必须符合三代标准等建议和意见。厦门大学能源经济研究中心主任林伯强在接受采访时说,虽然暂缓内陆核电建设会在一定程度上影响我国核电发展速度,但核电建设首先要保证的就是安全,内陆省份发展核电,要看 “ 十三五 ” 的能源政策。

由于我国能源分布不均,不少常规能源匮乏的内陆省份经常面对 “ 电荒 ” 局面。根据报道,湖南、湖北、江西、河南、重庆等地在当时都在积极着手核电项目的准备工作。

据报道,无油少煤的中部省份湖南自 20 世纪 70 年代就开始绸缪启动核电前期工作。根据资料显示,经勘测,湖南可建核电站约 10 座。报道称,专家预测 2015 年至 2030 年将是湖南核电建设的高峰期。

但自福岛核事故发生以来,我国对核电建设的要求愈加严格,此次重新启动建设,明确规定在 2020 年前,不在内陆地区建设核电站。内陆省市区的 “ 核电梦 ” 暂时 “ 破灭 ”。

林伯强说,稳妥恢复核电的正常建设对我国能源产业是有积极意义的,核能毕竟是清洁能源。但核电发展现在在世界上的很多国家都存在一定争议,所以现在发展核能的最首要保证就是安全。所以,这次出台的《规划》才重点强调新建核电机组必须符合三代安全标准。

在日本福岛核电站事故之后,国务院紧急叫停了核电项目审批,并进行核电站的全面安检。林伯强表示,国家明确表示 “ 十二五 ” 期间不安排内陆核电项目,这的确会在相当程度上影响国内核电发展的速度,但出于安全方面的考虑,国家做出这样的规定很合适。

林伯强表示,目前我国核电规模还比较小,只在沿海地区有几个项目。在未来我国核电发展成熟时,在内陆地区建核电项目还是很有必要的。

在未来的三年里,湖南桃花江核电项目、湖北咸宁核电项目和江西彭泽核电项目所需要做的工作已经与建设关系不大。一位不愿透露姓名的总经理表示,“ 十二五 ” 期间该项目的工作重心将转移到内陆核电的科研、电站设计的修改和厂址维护等上,而这些工作所需要的投资也并不多。

截至 2011 年年底,湖南桃花江核电项目前期工作投入约 38 亿元、湖北咸宁核电项目完成投资约 34 亿元,江西彭泽核电项目到今年 5 月也已完成投资 34 亿元。

经济利益永远比不上化石燃料技术 ” 后的一周发布的。

澳大利亚

必和必拓集团(BHP Billiton)已承诺未来四年要花费 5.4 亿多

美元重新部署其在南澳洲的奥林匹克坝扩建工程,以换取被延长

四年的一份契约,该契约是去年联邦政府批准的。南澳洲议员杰

作出最终的投资决定。 “ 我收到的信息确实显示必和必拓(BHP Billiton)面临着不可预期的经济情况,” 韦瑟里尔说道,但他仍

然相信必和必拓(BHP Billiton)最终将继续进行该项目。韦瑟

里尔称被修订的资本密集程度较低的采矿计划将包括新的开采和

加工技术,还包括堆浸处理技术。“ 这有可能使南澳大利亚成为

堆浸采矿技术的全球领导者,” 他说。

底通过最终设计验收。” 这与法国电力公司将与 12 月 31 日前做

出对于其提议的欣克利角核电站新建 EPR 项目最终的投资决定

这一目标相一致。同时,阿海珐向普华永道会计事务所委托了一

份报告,大肆吹捧巨大的经济效益将涌入英国新建核电项目,并

且从现在到 2030 年英国四到八座反应堆机组都将使用同样的技

术。普华永道会计事务所在 11 月 14 日的声明中表示,“ 这一系

脉冲(通过空气炮)的计划,太平洋瓦斯与电力公司(PG&E)将不得不寻找另一种方式在加利福尼亚海岸做抗震测试(NIW Oct.5'12)。与环保主义者意见一致,委员会工作人员报告说,

该计划将 “ 给海洋生物资源带来严重的不可避免的恶果 ”,包括

7000多种哺乳动物如鲸、鼠、海豚等。PG&E希望进行一项研究,
