Report

Technical Visit to Daya Bay Nuclear Power Base in Shenzhen

Prepared By Ir Richard FUNG

The Nuclear Division organized a one-day technical visit to Daya Bay Nuclear Power Base on 4 November 2017 with 34 participants. 


The Daya Bay site consists of three nuclear power stations, the Guangdong Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station (GNPS), the Ling Ao Nuclear Power Station (LNPS) and the Ling Ao Nuclear Power Station Phase 2 (LNPS 2) which were fully commissioned in 1994, 2003 and 2010 respectively.  The Daya Bay site currently has the largest operating nuclear capacity in China, with its six Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR) nuclear generating units having a total installed capacity of 6,108 MW gross and representing about a sixth of the national nuclear power capacity.  80% of the output of GNPS is delivered to Hong Kong to meet about 25% of its electricity consumption.


During the visit, participants were provided with a video and a technical presentation on nuclear power and safety considerations at the Daya Bay site to cover topics including site selection, engineering design, plant operation, regulation and emergency management, and tours of the exhibition centre which is fitted with many electronic displays but included a 1/10 scaled model of the reactor and the nuclear steam supply system of GNPS, a full scale replica of a fuel assembly and a 1/100 scaled model of the third generation Hualong 1 nuclear power plant that is now undergoing the Generic Design Assessment, as a regulatory licensing process in the UK, of the full scope simulators of GNPS and LNPS 2 with the latter one installed with digital control technology, of the full scale fuel handling training facility and of the viewing platforms of GNPS and LNPS.


The participants expressed much interest in nuclear operation at Daya Bay and there were many discussions during the visit.  The visit offered a useful opportunity to address the interest and further the understanding of the participants in nuclear power in China as well as in Daya Bay.
