The world's first core module of "Linglong 1" has been completed and will be shipped to Hainan for assembly.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues about the past. According to CTOnews.com news on July 13, CNNC announced today that the core module of the world's first land-based commercial modular reactor "Linglong No. 1" has completed factory acceptance in Dalian and is about to be shipped to Hainan nuclear power, which marks a historic step in the modular manufacturing of small pressurized water reactor units.

According to the official WeChat of ▲ Tuyuan, the core module of the "Linglong No. 1" reactor mainly includes two key equipment: pressure vessels and steam generators, which are independently designed and purchased by the China Nuclear Power Research and Design Institute of the China Nuclear Power Research and Design Institute of the China Nuclear Power Corporation.

CNNC said the design and construction of the Linglong 1 was revolutionary and groundbreaking. Its most prominent feature is modular construction, which shortens the construction cycle, improves safety and reduces manufacturing costs through standardized design, manufacturing and batch production of a single module. The modular small reactor system is simplified, the equipment size is small, the transportation is convenient, and the operation is more convenient. According to the user load demand, the modular small reactor system can be flexibly combined with scale, rolling development and construction, and the economic benefit is remarkable.

CTOnews.com learned from the official that the "Linglong 1" will generate 125000 kilowatts of electricity. After completion, the annual power generation will reach 1 billion kilowatt hours, meeting the needs of 526000 families. At the same time, it is equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 880000 tons, equivalent to afforestation 7.5 million trees. Its popularization and application can optimize the energy structure, reduce the consumption of fossil energy in China, greatly promote energy saving and emission reduction, and help to achieve the goal of "double carbon".
