华龙一号持续改进与压水堆核电技术展望

Continuous Improvement of HPR1000 and Outlook on PWR Technology

在以人工智能技术应用等为代表的新一轮工业革命蓬勃发展的背景下,为实现“双碳”目标与新能源技术发展相互促进,国家制定了民用核能“积极、安全、有序”的发展策略。作为成熟可靠的核能技术,压水堆在今后相当长的阶段仍具有广阔发展前景,但也面临着诸多问题与挑战。本文通过介绍我国自主研发的第三代压水堆核电技术-华龙一号的技术特征与持续改进情况,分析了压水堆技术在安全性、经济性等方面面临的挑战,并结合人工智能技术的发展现状与在核电领域的应用实践,展望人工智能技术在压水堆技术领域的未来发展。

Under the background of the booming new industrial revolution,which is characterized by artificial intelligence(AI)technology,China has determined to develop the civil nuclear energy in a positive,safe and orderly way to achieve the mutual promotion of the“carbon peaking”and“carbon neutrality”goals and the new energy technology development.As a kind of mature and reliable nuclear energy technology,the pressurized water reactor(PWR)technology still has broad development prospects over a long period in the future,despite plenty of problems and challenges faced.The technical features of HPR1000,a self-developed third-generation PWR technology in China is presented in this paper,and its continuous improvements are summarized and the challenges on safety and economy are analyzed.Combining the development status of AI technology with its application practices in the nuclear power energy field,an outlook on the future development of AI technology in the PWR technology field is provided.
