Report


HKIE Nuclear Division - Annual Report of Session 2017/18

 

As the Division enters its 31st anniversary, the development of nuclear power in the Mainland is entering into a new stage with the first batch of Generation III+ nuclear power plants due for commissioning in the coming year. Meanwhile, nuclear reactors equipped with more established technologies have been commissioned one after another in the past years. In brief, 38 nuclear power units are in commercial operation as at the end of March 2018 with a total installed capacity of 37 GW while 18 nuclear units are under construction. Early in March of this year, the National Energy Administration called for the new construction of 6-8 nuclear power units in 2018.

 

The current programme includes construction and commissioning of a demonstration unit of Generation IV comprising of twinned high temperature gas-cooled reactors at Shidaowan in Shandong. Furthermore, it is encouraging to see that the constructions of the indigenous Hualong One reactors with Generation III+ PWR design are underway at Fuqing Nuclear Power Station in Fujian and also at the Fangchenggang Nuclear Power Station in Guangxi. In fact, Hualong One projects are being actively promoted at home and aboard as a key contribution to the “Belt and Road Initiatives”. These projects would certainly create a golden opportunity for career development of the well-prepared professional engineers in Hong Kong.

 

Taking opportunity from the foreseeable demands of nuclear power and the related technological developments in the region, we are working hard to pursue for the establishment of the nuclear engineering discipline in the Institution. At present, we have made good progress and are preparing necessary documents for compiling a comprehensive proposal for submission to the Institution for consideration and approval.

 

Despite numerous economic, public and policy challenges in the world including negative public perceptions caused by the Chernobyl and Fukushima accidents, nuclear power is expected to remain as an essential energy source in the foreseeable future. It has been an indispensable choice and has been playing an important role in our national energy policy to combat climate change, to execute the Paris Agreement and to reduce smog from air. To this end, we consider that the role of nuclear energy becomes dominant and its associated safety measures are being recognized by the regulator and the public.

 

In this session, we organized (including collaboration with City University and other learned societies) various technical seminars and visits to enrich our members on the latest development in the nuclear industry, in particular on related safety issues. Eight conferences and seminars were provided with overwhelming attendance as well as fruitful technical exchange during Q&A session from our members. In addition, we organized four technical visits to Daya Bay Nuclear Power Base, Hong Kong Observatory, the CityU Nuclear Reactor Simulator Laboratory, and the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Treatment and Recycling Facility in EcoPark, Tuen Mun respectively. These visits aroused much interest to our members and were oversubscribed.

The Nuclear Division is committed to promote understanding and engineering knowledge of nuclear technology for the interest of its members and the general public, and for the benefit of the society at large. Finally, we wish to express our sincere gratitude to all those who had helped during the Session 2017/18 and made it successful in serving the Institution and our community. Members are welcome to visit our website at http://ne.hkie.org.hk or contact us by email to nuclear@ne.hkie.org.hk.
