打造新时期我国核电、核燃料产业命运共同体

Building a Community of Shared Future for China’s Nuclear Fuel Industry in the New Era

核燃料产业是高技术战略性产业,既要求战略性又要求经济性,属技术密集产业,核燃料是核电站反应堆安全稳定运行的关键保障,与核电相互依存度高,市场容量有限。新时期,我国核电进入规模化发展阶段,为核燃料产业发展带来了重要机遇,同时也对产业经济性和安全保障能力提出更高要求。当前,我国核燃料产业已经取得了突破性成果,但与国外先进水平相比仍有差距,正处于攻坚爬坡的重要阶段。文章简要回顾了我国核燃料产业取得的成绩,分析了当前的情况,就发展壮大我国核燃料加工产业提出了思考。文中所述的核燃料产业包括铀纯化转化、铀浓缩、核燃料元件等环节的科研、设计、装备加工及生产运行体系。

The nuclear fuel industry is a technology-intensive high-tech strategic industry characterized by strategy and economy.Nuclear fuel secures the safe and stable operation of nuclear power plant.It is highly interdependent with nuclear power development with limited market capacity.In the new era,China's nuclear power has entered the stage of large-scale development,which has brought important opportunities for the development of nuclear fuel industry,and also put forward higher requirements for industrial economy and security support capabilities.At present,China's nuclear fuel industry has achieved some breakthroughs,but there is still a gap compared with the advanced level of foreign countries,and we are now at an important stage of overcoming difficulties and ramping up.This paper briefly reviews the achievements of China's nuclear fuel industry,analyzes the current industrial development issues,and puts forward some thoughts on developing and strengthening China's nuclear fuel processing industry,and building a new era of nuclear power and nuclear fuel community of shared future.The nuclear fuel industry referred to in this article involves the scientific research,design,equipment manufacturing and production operation systems in uranium purification and conversion,uranium enrichment,and nuclear fuel elements.
