Recently, Unit 2 of the CGN Zhejiang San'ao Nuclear Power Project completed its first nuclear fuel loading, taking a key step towards the full completion and commissioning of the first phase of the project for power generation. This time, the loading used semi-automatic operating equipment, and 177 sets of nuclear fuel components were sequentially transferred from the fuel grid to the reactor core. Zeng Junsheng, deputy general manager of CGN Cangnan Nuclear Power Co., Ltd., said that the loading of all nuclear fuel components has been completed, all safety and quality indicators are excellent and controllable, and the unit has officially entered a new stage of nuclear operation and commissioning. The Sanao Nuclear Power Project plans to build 6 “Hualong 1” units. Currently, 4 units have been approved. The annual power generation capacity is expected to exceed 54 billion kilowatt-hours after completion, which is close to 80% of the current total annual electricity consumption of the entire society in Wenzhou, and can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 50 million tons per year.
