CityU's CLP Power Low Carbon Energy Education Centre offers
visitors an inspiring and enlightening experience as they learn about the
importance of low carbon energy in addressing the environmental challenges we
face.
A 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
A virtual tour was organized by the Nuclear
Division of “CLP Power Low Carbon Energy Education Centre at CityU” on 23
October 2021. The virtual tour was presented to over 175 participants by Ir Dr
B L Luk and Mr K B Chan of CityU. The virtual tour began with an introduction of
climate change impacts and different types of low carbon energy resources
including wind, hydro, solar, gas and nuclear power. The speaker explained the power generation
principles, advantages and limitations of different low carbon energy resources
as well as their future development potential.
The virtual tour also provided a full spectrum of information on nuclear
energy from fundamental knowledge, reactor principles, nuclear power plant
operation and safety, the nuclear fuel cycle, radiation principles, radiation
in our daily life, to the future development of nuclear energy. The speaker presented a scaled model of
Hualong One Nuclear Reactor, China’s first indigenous, third-generation
pressurized water nuclear (PWR), that is installed with various active and
passive engineering systems to improve reactor safety to typically 10 times
above that of a currently operating nuclear reactor. Last but not the least, a
3D Immersive Display of Daya Bay Nuclear Station which gave the visitors a
virtual tour inside the PWR reactor building was presented.
On behalf of the Nuclear Division, we wish to express our sincere gratitude to Ir Dr B L Luk and Mr K B Chan for providing an enlightening virtual visit and an insight into the merits and characteristics of each low carbon energy resource and a low carbon future.
