地下核电研究现状

Review of Underground Nuclear Power Plant

日本福岛核事故以后,能否探索一种安全性更好、公众接受度更高的核电站,成为未来安全发展核电的重要方向。地下核电站的研究经过几十年的蛰伏,重新进入研究人员的视野。本文总结了上世纪50年代以来国外地下核电领域的研究成果,介绍了近年来我国地下核电方面的研究历程和研究现状。地下核电利用洞室围岩增加了一道实体屏障,有利于实现从设计上实际消除大量放射性物质释放的可能性。

One of the new directions of safe development for the future nuclear energy after Fukushima accident is to investigate the innovations for a better design that is safer and more acceptable by the public, which may imply the return of underground nuclear power plant. In this review both foreign and domestic R＆D achievements are introduced with dedicated preamble on recent studies of underground nuclear power plant in China, which demonstrate the convenience of surrounding rocks as barrier of preventing radioactive materials to the Outside environment for the implementation of ＂practical elimination of large radioactive release＂ by design.
