    On January 30, 2021, the world's first reactor of Hualong No.
    1, CNNC's Fujian Fuqing Nuclear Power Unit 5, was put into commercial operation
    .
    So far, China has officially become a country that truly masters independent third-generation nuclear power technology after the United States, France, Russia and other countries, and ranks among the world's foremost
    in the field of third-generation nuclear power technology.

    Hualong No.
    1 is one of the three generations of nuclear motor models with the highest acceptance in the current nuclear power market, with a design life of 60 years, a reactor with a 177 core design, a core design refueling cycle of 18 months, and innovative use of "dynamic and non-passive" combined safety systems and double-layer containment technologies, which meet the highest international safety standards in
    terms of safety.

    It is understood that Hualong No.
    1 has an assembly capacity of 1.
    161 million kilowatts per unit and generates nearly 10 billion kWh of electricity every year, which can meet the annual production and living electricity needs of 1 million people in medium-developed countries; at the same time, it is equivalent to reducing standard coal consumption by 3.
    12 million tons and carbon dioxide emissions by 8.
    16 million tons per year, equivalent to planting more than 70 million trees
    .

    The most important thing is that all the core equipment of the first pile of Hualong No.
    1 has been domestically produced, and the localization rate of all equipment has reached 88%, which is fully equipped with batch construction capabilities
    .
