Visit to Nuclear Reactor Simulation
Laboratory and CLP Power Low Carbon Energy Education Centre at CityU
Date, Time & Venue
25 November 2017
(Saturday); 10:00 am; assemble outside Room 3202, 3/F, Lau Ming Wai Academic
Building (Academic 3 Building), City University of Hong Kong, Tat Chee Avenue,
Kowloon Tong, Kowloon.
Programme Highlights
In the Nuclear Simulator
Laboratory, the operating features of a full scope nuclear reactor simulator
and the MAAP severe accident simulation software will be demonstrated. In the newly commissioned low carbon energy
education centre, 3-D immersive display of the core parts of the nuclear island
of Daya Bay/Ling Ao Nuclear Power Plant will be shown, and information on
various low carbon energies, such as wind and solar energy, will be displayed
and explained. In addition, a model of China’s latest generation 3 nuclear
reactor, Hualong 1, will be exhibited.

Report
Technical Visit to the Nuclear
Reactor Simulation Laboratory and CLP Power Low Carbon Energy Education Centre
at the City University of Hong Kong
Prepared
by Ir Richard FUNG
A
group of 22 visitors of the Nuclear Division, led by its Chairman Ir Dr Vincent
Fong, paid a visit to the Nuclear Reactor Simulation Laboratory and CLP
Power Low Carbon Energy Education Centre (CLP Power LCEEC) of the City
University of Hong Kong (CityU) on 25 November 2017.
The
group was well received by Ir Dr B L Luk of CityU. He began with an introduction
of topics from nuclear power development in China, and the medical applications
of nuclear technology to the careers for nuclear graduates in Hong Kong. He further introduced the operation of
Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR) and the in-house Generic PWR Reactor Simulator
and its simulation software on severe nuclear accidents and atmospheric
radiological dispersion. He then simulated
PWR plant behaviour in the loss of coolant flow and during reactor coolant pipe
break accidents, explaining the evolution of plant parameters and their
significance. The simulator is a useful
educational and research tool at both undergraduate and post-graduate levels
for the university.
The
group also visited the CLP Power LCEEC.
The centre has several themes of low carbon energy, to include wind,
hydro, solar, gas and nuclear, supported by a large number of physical models
and interactive software displays. Key features
of each energy are highlighted and explained.
Further information was provided in nuclear safety and radiation. Among the displays, there was a 3D immersive
display that gave the visitors a virtual tour inside the PWR reactor building,
and a large scale physical model of Hualong 1, a PWR equipped with the latest
safety technology that has been developed in China.
Nuclear
Division expressed thanks to Ir Dr Luk for providing an enlightening visit and demonstration,
together with an insight into the capability of the simulator and software and
the merits and characteristics of each low carbon energy source.
