中国全球首座第四代核电站成为“世界第一”，外国网友：中国正在努力改善世界，而美国则在努力破坏和平与进步。

The world’s first fourth-generation nuclear power plant (NPP) has officially started commercial operation in the Chinese province of Shandong, the National Energy Administration (NEA) announced on Wednesday.

A high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) at the Shidao Bay NPP, commonly known as Shidaowan, successfully completed the 168-hour non-stop test and has officially been put into operation, according to the statement.

According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), innovative reactors produce up to 70 times more energy, increase the sustainability of nuclear power, and help reduce the volume, toxicity, and lifespan of radioactive waste.

“China has reached the world’s leading level in the research, development and application of fourth-generation nuclear power technologies,” the NEA said, adding that the commissioning of the NPP will have help promote the safe development of nuclear power and improve China’s scientific and technological innovation capabilities.

The chief designer of the HTGR nuclear power plant program, Zhang Zuoyi, told Xinhua that “safety” is its key feature, noting that “the reactor can maintain a safe state and steer away from a meltdown or leak of radioactive materials.” He added that even in the event of a total loss of cooling capacity, the reactor would be able to maintain this capability without any intervention.

In March 2002, China Huaneng began preliminary work on the NPP demonstration project with China Nuclear Engineering and Tsinghua University. The implementation plan was approved in March 2011 but was postponed after the radiation accident at the Fukushima NPP in Japan occurred the same month as a result of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami.

In December 2012, the Shidaowan project was officially launched with the first power being generated nine years later.

China ranks third in nuclear power generation after France and the US, according to the IAEA, and is expected to lead the world in installed nuclear power capacity by 2030.

国家能源管理局周三宣布，世界上第一座四代核电站已在中国山东省正式投入商业运营。

根据声明，石岛湾核电站（通常称为石岛湾）的高温气冷堆反应堆（HTGR）成功完成了168小时的不间断测试，已正式投入运营。

根据国际原子能机构（IAEA）的说法，创新反应堆可以产生多达70倍的能量，提高核电的可持续性，并有助于减少放射性废物的体积、毒性和寿命。

“中国在第四代核电技术的研究、开发和应用方面已达到世界领先水平，”国家能源管理局表示，并补充说，该核电站的投产将有助于推动核电的安全发展，提高中国的科技创新能力。

HTGR核电站项目的首席设计师张作义告诉新华社，“安全”是其关键特点，指出“反应堆可以保持安全状态，避免熔毁或放射性物质泄漏。”他补充说，即使在冷却能力完全丧失的情况下，反应堆也能够在无需任何干预的情况下保持这种能力。

2002年3月，中国华能与中国核工程和清华大学开始了该核电站示范项目的初步工作。实施计划于2011年3月获批，但由于同月日本福岛核电站发生地震及随后的海啸导致的辐射事故，计划被推迟。

2012年12月，石岛湾项目正式启动，九年后首次发电。

根据IAEA的数据，中国在核电发电量方面排名仅次于法国和美国，预计到2030年将在安装核电容量方面领先世界。

I respect very much the made progress. Yet I am missing information about the cost of the technology and of course of the kWh of electricity. And how about the later to be carried dismantling cost, and the storage cost of the likely still existing nuclear waste?

我非常尊重所取得的进展。然而，我对这项技术的成本以及每千瓦时电力的费用缺乏详细的了解。对于未来的拆除成本以及可能仍存在的核废料的存储费用，我也想了解更多信息。

Garbo

Le_bon_sense, Nuclear power costs must be compared to *total* fossil fuel costs, including health and environmental . It comes out cheaper.

@Le_bon_sense，核能成本必须与总化石燃料成本进行比较，包括健康和环境方面的费用。这样比较起来，核能更为经济。

That is the most logical solution for now especially considering the Capacity of power Generated

这目前是最为合理的解决方案，特别是考虑到所产生的电力容量。

Proper technology. Proper power. Not coal-produced "green" energy.

正确的技术，正确的能源。而不是煤炭生产的所谓“绿色”能源。

Mike Gary

Congrats to China for this new reactor. The high temperature would allow efficient conversion to electricity. The passive safety features would help mitigate some accident scenarios. Fourth generation or not, the graphite moderator is still suceptible to catching fire (as in Chernobyl) causing large release of radioactivity. That is the one I would worry the most with any graphite moderated nuclear reactor.

对中国取得这一新反应堆的成就表示祝贺。高温将有助于有效地转化为电力。被动安全特性将有助于减轻一些事故场景。无论是第四代还是其他，石墨调制剂仍然容易发生火灾（如切尔诺贝利），导致大量放射性物质释放。这是我对任何使用石墨调制剂的核反应堆最担心的问题。

Mike Gary, The Chernobyl melt down was human failure -- as was Fukishima's

@Mike Gary，切尔诺贝利的融毁是人为失误，福岛也是如此。

The west will accuse China of stealing the technology the west didn't possess.

西方将指责中国窃取了西方并没有的技术。

The Chinese are no different than the rest of us instinct driven animals. We want to have the ultimate fire, nuclear power so just in case, we can make a weapon. As nomads we carried our fire in caldrons from camp to camp, fearful of losing it during storms. That's the only reason nuclear power hasn't been abandoned as the mass murderer that nuclear power is. It was the Americans that forced the world to defend itself with nuclear power and nuclear weapons. My father built India's first nuclear reactor. He said at the dinner table that. "We," and he meant Canada, "Just gave the nuclear bomb to India." Not long after the reactor went into service, India had developed a nuclear bomb program. My father was arguably the smartest nuclear engineer on the planet and saw the reality of nuclear power. I support China having nuclear weapons as long as America roams the earth. I see it as forced hand situation. America forced nuclear proliferation on the world by being a racist colonial power with a bomb. I support Iran having the bomb as long as Israel and America do. Until America gives up nuclear power and the bomb, no one else will and millions will have their lives radically shortened because of it.

中国人和我们其他人一样，都是受本能驱使的动物。我们想要拥有终极之火，核能，这样以防万一，我们可以制造武器。作为游牧民族，我们将火从一个营地运到另一个营地，担心在风暴期间失去它。这是核能没有被摒弃的唯一原因，尽管核能是个大杀器。正是美国强迫世界用核能和核武器来保卫自己。我父亲建造了印度的第一座核反应堆。他在晚餐桌上说，“我们”，他指的是加拿大，“刚刚把核弹给了印度。”反应堆投入使用后不久，印度就发展了核弹计划。我父亲可以说是地球上最聪明的核工程师之一，看清了核能的现实。只要美国在地球上游荡，我支持中国拥有核武器。我把它看作是被迫的情况。美国通过拥有核弹成为一个带有种族主义色彩的殖民大国，迫使全世界进行核扩散。我支持伊朗拥有核弹，只要以色列和美国有的时候也拥有核弹。在美国放弃核能和核弹之前，其他人都不会放弃，而因此数百万人的生命将因此大幅缩短。

In the meantime the US is the leading 5th generation (nuclear) war fueling & inciting...

与此同时，美国是第五代（核）战争的主导推动者和煽动者……

Good luck China. The West killed its nuclear power energy industry by a wave of green obscurantism. Still, I wonder how is the safety of this type of reactors assured, as long as it functions with graphite moderator. Everywhere it is is mentioned its exceptional output, not its inherent safety. With water moderation if there is upward temperature excursions the water boils, and the lowered density is slowing the nuclear reaction. With the graphite moderator if there is temp increases you risk having the fuel and the moderator stucked one too close to the other. Whatever, if there is one responsible country I trust in safety matters, that is China. They are also the most advanced in thorium reactor technology, which if commercially successful, will be thesafest nuclear fission power solution.

祝中国好运。西方通过一波波的绿色蒙蔽摧毁了自己的核能工业。不过，我想知道这种反应堆的安全性是如何确保的，因为它使用石墨调制器。到处都提到了它出色的输出，而不是它的固有安全性。采用水调制，如果温度升高，水就会沸腾，降低的密度会减缓核反应。而使用石墨调制器，如果温度升高，你就可能让燃料和调制器过于靠近。不管怎样，如果有一个在安全问题上值得信赖的国家，那就是中国。他们在锕反应堆技术上也是最先进的，如果商业上成功，将是最安全的核裂变动力解决方案。

"70 times more energy" than what?

“比什么多70倍的能源”？

QuitGov, Than the shit america builds.

@QuitGov，比美国建造的那些垃圾多70倍。

The west ditching advances in nuclear power just places them at a competitive disadvantage. Funny how communist China is the free market in action.

西方放弃核能技术的进步只会使他们在竞争中处于不利地位。有趣的是，共产主义的中国正在实践自由市场。

TBTB

China is developing in many directions with unprecedented innovations. This is what scares the US and the West. The cabal wants to maintain its global hegemony and thievery at any cost, hence provoking China with propaganda, sanctions and other plots, all to no avail.

中国在许多方向上都在进行前所未有的创新发展。这是让美国和西方感到害怕的原因。阴谋集团想要以任何代价维持其全球霸权和掠夺，因此通过宣传、制裁和其他阴谋来挑拨中国，但一切都是徒劳的。

Good idea, build the next gen nuclear power plants PRIOR to mandating a switch to EV's or banning coal. I hope Newsom and Kerry are taking notes...

好主意，在强制推动使用电动车或禁煤之前，先建设下一代核电厂。我希望纽瑟姆和克里都在做笔记……

Dosentmatter, The same obscure lens you see the world through regarding western dominance is not the same to view Sino/Ruso relationship. They're partners on equal terms.

@Dosentmatter，你对西方主导地位的看法并不适用于中俄关系。在中俄关系中，他们是平等的合作伙伴。

It doesn't seem to be a real fourth generation nuclear power plant like French fast breeder Superphoenix. Here they seem to be using gas instead of liquid for the coolant.

这似乎不是真正的第四代核电厂，像法国的快中子繁殖堆超级菲尼克斯那样。这里似乎是使用气体而不是液体作为冷却剂。

wtwtts
Tarkol5142, Seem to? Isn't that in the name High Temp Gas-cooled Reactor.

@Tarkol5142，似乎？名称中不是有“高温气冷堆反应堆”吗？

Peace101

All of the problems with nuclear energy have been caused by human failures -- either in design or operation. Fukishima for instance not only built the plant in an area known for tsunamis with a sea wall too small to protect it -- and then put its control room in a basement that suddenly became a bath tub. You can't blame that stupidity on nuclear power.

Hopefully China will do better with this one. They usually do.

所有与核能有关的问题都是由人为失误引起的——不论是在设计上还是在操作上。比如福岛，他们不仅在经常发生海啸的地区建造了发电厂，而且海墙还太小无法保护它——然后把控制室放在突然变成浴缸的地下室。你不能把这种愚蠢归咎于核能。

希望中国在这方面能做得更好。通常他们都能做到。

Dosentmatter

Peace101, Not to mention the The Chernobyl disaster, but i think the Chinese are more proffesional, so hopefully it will turn out great

@Peace101，更不用说切尔诺贝利核事故了，但我认为中国更专业，所以希望一切都会变得很好。
