8In the month, the State Council decided to approve five nuclear power projects including the first phase of Jiangsu Xuwu Power Plant. Among them, there are three projects from China General Nuclear Power Group.6The unit was approved, a nuclear power project in China3One project of State Power Investment Corporation, approved for Taiwan units2The unit has been approved. At present, what stage is nuclear power development in China and globally? What is the current level of technology and key equipment in this field domestically?

Q: What stage is nuclear power development in China and globally at present? (Has it gradually emerged from the shadow of the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan?) What is the level of key equipment, technology, and innovation in China's domestic sector?
Currently, global nuclear power is in a phase of restart and development, with major nuclear power countries either restarting or expanding their nuclear investment. For example,2023year12month2Yesterday, led by the United States, France, and the United Kingdom22country inCOP28The coalition jointly launched the "Triple Nucleus Energy" declaration, proposing to2050The global nuclear energy installed capacity is set to triple to meet the current target, making nuclear energy a key link in achieving a net-zero path.2024year3In January, the Biden administration announced that it would provide15US$100 million loan to restart southwestern MichiganPalisadesNuclear power plant.2024year4In the month, Tokyo Electric Power Company of Japan announced that the Kashiwara Ibaraki Nuclear Power Plant in Niigata Prefecture7Total number of reactor units872The core fuel has been loaded and is expected to be completed this year10Monthly restarts began generating electricity.
According to the China Nuclear Energy Industry Association2024year4China Nuclear Energy Development Report released monthly2024Blue Book, up to2023At the end of the year, there were a total of55Unit, total installed capacity5,703Ten thousand kilowatts, second only to the United States and France, ranking third globally. As of now, the number of nuclear power units under construction in China26Unit, total installed capacity3,030Ten thousand kilowatts, continuing to maintain first place in the world.
After years of development through the independent innovation and development of digestive tract-related technologies, China's nuclear power technology level has reached a world-leading level. For example,2023year12The China Huaneng Shidao Bay High-Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor Demonstration Project, which started production in the month, is the world's first fourth-generation nuclear power plant to enter commercial operation.
Q: Prospects for nuclear power development in the future/What about market space?
According to the International Energy AgencyIEA)2023Global Energy Sector Released in [Year]2050Annual net-zero emission roadmap, expected by2050In [year], the global nuclear power installed capacity will reach916Jilin. Energy supply from nuclear power will also see a significant increase,2020year and2050It will double between the years.
With the new round of nuclear power development plans in various major nuclear power countries around the world, global nuclear power development is expected to see a new peak in the coming years.
