More than 8,000 people held their posts during the critical period of Taipingling nuclear power plant construction.

  CCTV News:"Hualong No.1" is the third generation nuclear power technology with completely independent intellectual property rights in China, and it is one of the most accepted third generation nuclear power models in the world nuclear power market. At present, 19 "Hualong No.1" nuclear power units are being built in batches in many places across the country. As the first "Hualong No.1" nuclear power base in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Taipingling Nuclear Power Station has completed the acceptance of the outer dome in the past two days and entered a critical period of construction. During the Spring Festival, there were more than 8,000 builders sticking to the work site.

  During the Spring Festival, the reporter came to Taipingling Nuclear Power Station in Huizhou, Guangdong Province. As soon as he entered the door, the reporter felt the steaming enthusiasm. Like "Spider-Man", dozens of builders were banging on the highest point of the unit, doing a hot job.

  CCTV reporter Wu Tianbai:At the highest dome of Unit 1 of "Hualong No.1" Taipingling, we can see that dozens of workers are stepping up construction. Their main job today is to check and accept the installed dome steel bars. The field staff told me that although the dome area is as big as five basketball courts, their work is all fine work in millimeters.

  Yi Mingxiong, Deputy Manager of CGNPC Huizhou Nuclear Power Engineering Management Department:Measure the spacing of steel bars, with 5 bars as a group. You can see that the spacing of 5 bars is 100 (mm). The main acceptance spacing is the size of steel bars, how many steel bars there are and how many joints there are, all of which should be counted.

  Yi Mingxiong’s job during the Spring Festival is to complete the quality acceptance and installation of the outer dome of the nuclear power plant. The outer dome is the key equipment to ensure the safe operation of the nuclear power plant, and the capping of the dome means that the nuclear power plant can start the next operation test.

  This year is the second year that Yi Mingxiong has held his post during the Spring Festival. He said that the project can’t stop. Once we stop, when we start again after the festival, we should familiarize ourselves with the 800 tons of steel bars and 28,000 joints on the dome.

  Yi Mingxiong, Deputy Manager of CGNPC Huizhou Nuclear Power Engineering Management Department:The whole shell should be capped, which is a control point. If it is unqualified, it must be rectified, and the next working procedure can not be carried out until it is qualified.

  The work on the dome is in full swing, and the inside of the nuclear power plant is also steaming. This year, they will not only do a good job in the installation and commissioning of Unit 1, but also weld the core main pipeline of Unit 2, which has entered a critical stage of engineering construction.

  Ji Wenbao, Deputy Chief Engineer of CGNPC Huizhou Nuclear Power Machinery Department:Our (unit) equipment is particularly large, with nearly 110,000 welded joints, 150,000 meters of large and small pipes, and more than 1,400 tons of such supports.

  Ji Wenbao told reporters that during the Spring Festival this year, more than 8,000 people will stay in the whole power station. They hope to send Chinese New Year wishes to their families through the reporter’s lens.

  Ji Wenbao said that Taipingling Nuclear Power Station is expected to be put into operation in 2025, and a total of six "Hualong No.1" units are planned to be built, which can provide Greater Bay Area with over 50 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity every year, which can be used by Shenzhen for five to six months.

  Ji Wenbao, Deputy Chief Engineer of CGNPC Huizhou Nuclear Power Machinery Department:We are in a new era of dreaming, and time waits for no one. Everyone wants to leave our own mark on the wheel of history. In the process of Taipingling nuclear power construction, we have realized our dreams.
