civil. Russia has been involved in the design and construction of research reactors in China since the late 1950s: the Heavy Water Research Reactor RFR-10 was in operation from 1958 until it was shut down in 2007. Since 2010, both countries have agreed to expand nuclear power cooperation in several areas, including VVER technology, fast reactors, exploration of uranium mines, fuel manufacturing, nuclear isotopes, decommissioning of old plants, postprocessing technology, building floating power plants and developing markets abroad. Recently, Wang Qishan, Vice Premier of the State Council and Chinese Chairman of the China-Russia Energy Cooperation Committee (CRECC), reiterated this cooperation program with his counterpart Arkady Dvorkovich, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation. Our editorial team will introduce briefly some of the major projects that involve Russian technology in China.

The earlier tests revealed 3,300 serious defects or non-conformance in the Russian equipment despite control from Atomstroyexport, and Rostekhnadzor, the inspection organization. The facility started its commercial operation on May 17 and August 16, 2007.

Editorial

Since beginning commercial operation, Atomstroyexport has continued its support to Jiangsu Nuclear Power Corporation (JNPC) through its subsidiaries such as Atomtechenergo (operation of the plant and provides personnel training) and Atomenergoremont (maintains and upgrades systems and components). Recently, Tianwan was provided with information on the safety improvement actions taken at Russian NPPs with regard for additional analysis performed after the Fukushima accident. The construction of this first phase involved Chinese civil engineering companies who acquired valuable experience, such as China Construction Nuclear Industry Corporation (CNI-23). Many Chinese enterprises manufactured a number of pieces of equipment related to instrumentation and control, low-pressure pipeline, valves and fittings. In May 2010, JNPC signed the protocols on the final acceptance of the first phase of the Tianwan nuclear power plant. This cooperation recently led to the creation of a science and technology base, established in Lianyungang, between JNPC and Volgodonsk Nuclear Power Plant. The Council of Sino-Russian nuclear science and technology research and development of international cooperation gathers researchers from the Nuclear Power Institute of China (NPIC), China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE), Shanghai Nuclear Engineering Research and Design Institute (SNERDI), Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology Research Institute (INET) and other members from JNPC. One of the subjects of cooperation is the molten-core catcher technology, which has improved nuclear safety since September 2010.

TIANWAN Nuclear Power Plant Phase 2 In 2006, Sergei Kirienko informed President Vladimir Putin’s cabinet that Rosatom would resume its expansion in Tianwan nuclear plants and intends to build six more reactors. In November 2010, the signing of a general contract to build the Phase Two took place in St. Petersburg. The plant was designed by Gidropress. The contract parties are JSC Atomstroyexport and JNPC. The key responsibility of the Russian side is the nuclear island. Atomstroyexport provides 30% of the VVER units for €1.3 billion, including nuclear island equipment. The overall project is expected to cost $3.8 billion. Atomstroyexport will not act as the principal contractor, though it

insists on retaining intellectual property rights. Iskorskiye Zavody “Izhora”, part of OMZ, manufactures the reactor pressure vessels with internals and upper units. Delivery should be completed in 2014. The delegation of the Ministry of Environment Protection of China visited the company in 2011, including representatives from the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), the Northern Regional Office (NRO), the Nuclear and Radiation Security Center (NSC) and JNPC. The Chinese experts visited the metallurgical and engineering plant production complex to become familiar with all phases of manufacture of equipment for this project. In 2012, the representatives of "TSKBM" and OJSC "Atomenergomash" also defined a possible cooperation in the production of PARS and other gas treatment systems. Areva (with Siemens) supplied the digital safety instrumentation & control system, and also the emergency diesel generator (with Motor and Turbine Union). JNPC is responsible for about 70% of the project, namely, the civil work, the turbine island with equipment and related infrastructure on the site (note: Harbin Turbine Company provides the turbine design, moisture separator reheater (MSR) and other major auxiliary engine, turbine control, flexible foundation design and other key components of the manufacturing process Machines). The civil engineering contract was awarded to China Nuclear Industry Huaxing Construction Company (HXCC), and to China Nuclear Industry 23 Construction Co for component installation. Commercial operation is due in 2018 and 2019. In December 2012, the Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin reported discussions with CNNC regarding phases III & IV of Tianwan (units 5-8), using VVER technology.

The NIIAR has an advanced level in high flux nuclear reactors, and can produces a variety of high specific activity radionuclides. In 1992 CNNC and Rosatom created Beijing Shuangyuan Isotope Technology (Shuangyuan). The company is an important supplier of medical and industrial cobalt-60 source and the exclusive californium-252 neutron source supplier. The Russian side has provided specialized equipment for preparation of californium-252 neutron source, technical information, and technical training for Chinese experts.

for cooperation in the development of marine nuclear energy for floating power plants and potentially for the propulsion of large ships. Chinese interest in this kind of power source has grown steadily in recent years and has now reached the level of formal cooperation. The first meeting for this was held at the end of November in Chengdu, Sichuan province. Around the table were representatives of power plant operator Rosenergoatom, designer OKBM Afrikantov as well as CNNC and its subsidiary the Nuclear Power Institute of China (NPIC). The Sino-Russian nuclear cooperation embraces major segments of the nuclear market. Both countries indicate their will

Meanwhile, the company also provides semiselenium -75, nondestructive testing of iridium-192 and cobalt-60 source. Shuangyuan just celebrated its twenty year birthday in October 2012.

FLOATING NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS During the 2010 annual meeting between Russia and China, Sergei Kiriyenko discussed a probable partnership in floating nuclear power plants with Chen Quifa, chairman of the China Atomic Energy Authority. China needs clean energy as its ecological environment continues to deteriorate. Compared with the traditional nuclear power plants, floating ones have better antiseismic performance and a smaller risk of a radiation leaks. in addition to this, floating plants can support a desalination of up to 24 million tons of seawater. Rosatom will be in charge of all the construction, operation and

At the same time, we can expect a rising competition between Rosatom subsidiaries, Rusatom Overseas and Atomstroyexport, and their Chinese counterparts CNNC, SNPTC and CGNPC in Argentina, South Africa and other countries that need nuclear power plant with a strong financing. As for the sales of small reactors overseas, AKME-engineering which develops a lead and bismuth coolant 100 MW reactor unit (SVBR-100) and OKBM that designs the ABV-6M, KLT-40S, ATETs-80 will face INET and NPIC for their HTR and ACP100.

JSC "Afrikantov "OKBM

E-mail: pressa@okbm.nnov.ru

DPS: Could you share your background with us? Alexander L. Berenzon:

My name is Alexander Berenzon. I am the head of the Department for Public Relations and Exhibition Activity of JSC “Afrikantov OKBM” (Russian Federation). I have been working in the nuclear industry for about 12 years; my activity is in information and analytical work. I worked in the OKBM Department for Scientific and Technical Information for few years as a specialist of search and analysis of scientific and technical information. Nowadays I organize the working process of the Department for Public Relations and Exhibition Activity; I participate in the publicity and exhibition actions, enlightening activity, media relations, cooperation with the local media and stakeholders.

DPS: What is OKBM’s historical background in the nuclear power industry?

BN-600 Reactor (central) Hall

Alexander L. Berenzon:

Joint Stock Company

Phone: +7 (831) 246-98-27

Afrikantov was the founder of the present structure of our company, which includes the powerful designing division, the experimental production facilities and the research and testing complex. About 500 nuclear reactors and steamgenerating units, a few hundred of various kinds of equipment for the nuclear industry, power industry and fleet have been created during recent decades by the projects and with direct participation of OKBM. The total lifetime of their operation is more than 10,000 reactor-years, which is comparable with the time of operation of all power reactors in the world’s experience. Particularly, 25 types of gas-diffusion machines were developed in OKBM in the 1940-1950s, nine machines were put into serial production. The first Soviet manufacturers of enriched uranium were equipped with these machines. Also 9 uranium-graphite reactors and 7 heavy water reactors for production of weapongrade nuclear materials and isotopes were created by the projects with participation of OKBM. Since the 1950s, a few generations of nuclear steam-generating units for Russian Navy ships have been developed and put into serial production by OKBM. In addition, as you know, Russia is the only country in the world which has a nuclear icebreaker fleet, and “Afrikantov OKBM” is a developer of a few generations of reactor units for nuclear icebreakers - starting from the reactor for the first icebreaker “Lenin” (put into operation in 1959) and including operating ships. Another great page of our company history and the pride of the Russian nuclear industry are fast nuclear reactors. In the 1960s and 1970s OKBM developed and took part in the construction of the fast nuclear power reactors BN350 in Kazakhstan and BN-600 at Beloyarsk NPP (Sverdlovsk region of Russia). The BN-600 reactor has been operating for more than 30 years confirming the high-level parameters and the correctness of technical ideas which were developed by OKBM engineers few decades ago.

“Afrikantov OKB Mechanical Engineering” (JSC “Afrikantov OKBM”) was created in 1945 to solve the first Soviet “Atomic Project” tasks. The first head of the organization was Igor Afrikantov, the distinguished designer and creator of new equipment for the atomic and power industries. We are very proud that his name is in the name of our company now. Igor

supplies and expensive fuel, and in developing countries, which do not have their own nuclear energy. Another project among the innovative reactor designs developed nowadays by OKBM with international cooperation is the Russian-American project of the GT-MHR, a high-temperature nuclear reactor with a helium coolant and a gas-turbine power conversion unit. This project has a great future, because it will allow the application of industrial-scale nuclear electricity and heat generation to produce the fuel of the future – hydrogen.

In addition, JSC “Afrikantov OKBM” has developed and supplies a wide range of equipment for nuclear power plants under operation and under construction - including pumps, ventilating equipment, heat exchangers, accessories and nuclear refueling equipment. The OKBM business area also includes creation of general nonstandard industrial equipment for enterprises of the fuel-andenergy complex, chemical, oil-refining, gas, shipbuilding and other industries.

DPS: What projects does OKBM have in nuclear industry?

DPS: When did OKBM enter the Chinese nuclear market? Alexander L. Berenzon:

The cooperation began about sixty years ago. In the 1950s, OKBM participated in the development of the heavy water research reactor for the research center in the People’s Republic of China. Our Chinese colleagues performed complex research on this reactor. A large team of our designers and technologists participated in the mounting activities on the reactor. The participants of this work received Chinese governmental awards for successful completion of construction. Since the 1990s, OKBM has taken part in a large cooperative work of development of the 65 MW capacity CEFR experimental fast sodium-cooled reactor in China. The construction of

During the first year I was managing the company, after that I was involved in the set-up of Polimaster Instruments UAB in Vilniaus, Lithuania, the manufacturing and sales company in the European Union market. For the last three years I have been working as director of sales and marketing for the group of companies for all Polimaster offices worldwide. Polimaster has production and marketing facilities in four geographic regions. Our office in the US is responsible for North and Latin American markets. The office in Minsk is responsible for the former Soviet Union, Middle East and Asian markets. Our office in Japan is responsible for Japanese and nearby regions, and facilities in Lithuania cover sales, manufacturing and technical support for the European Union.

This team of engineers in Minsk was responsible for designing equipment capable of dealing with the Chernobyl accident and correctly measuring emergency dose rates and personal exposure, being capable of working in severe environmental conditions, as well as dosimeters for the public.

So engineers in Minsk had a lot of experience and in 1992, when

the Soviet Union collapsed, many engineers lost their jobs after major research institutes closed. They considered their futures, and Alexander Antonovsky, who was one such engineer decided to start the company Polimaster to continue the design and manufacture of dosimeters and radiation detection equipment. This is how Polimaster was founded in 1992.

DPS: You manufacture some 140 types of equipment. What type of radiation measurement equipment does Polimaster engineer and manufacture? Alexander Gordeev: We have several product lines and

various models within each product line. Basically the product selection is designated to meet every need of people who deal with ionizing radiation, and are responsible for the detection of such radiation. The first group is electronic personal dosimeters designed to measure dose, personal dose, and dose rate, as well as sound an alarm in case thresholds are exceeded. They are used for

DPS: What is your annual production capacity? Alexander Gordeev:

It changes year to year but on average we build about 20,000 pieces of equipment of different types, from very small pocket dosimeters to very large radiation portal monitors.

DPS: In 1992 you had 15 employees and 20 years later around 200 employees located in Belarus, Lithuania, Japan, and the United States - how do you explain this fast expansion? Alexander Gordeev: Mainly this was due to an increase

in demand for the type of equipment that Polimaster produces. It was driven by historical events and world changes. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, and at the very beginning of Polimasterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, there was a demand to control the illicit

personnel safety. The second group is personal radiation detectors that are much more sensitive devices compared to electronic dosimeters and are intended for the search and location of sources of ionizing radiation, so they have a very good response time to the variations in the ambient radiation levels and sound immediately in case of the detection of any presence of ionizing radiation. The third group is radionuclide identifiers, designed to collect spectra and tell the user what exactly caused a radiation alarm and the nature of the radiation detected. Polimaster also has a product line of the large radiation portal monitors, which are installed at the border crossing points and checkpoints of entry and exits of perimeters that need to be controlled. There is also a product line of combined instruments designed to perform several functions such as ionizing radiation detectors, chemical and biological detectors and contraband detectors. So, basically, Polimaster has a complete range of equipment for safety and security in the nuclear industry, environmental protection and any other fields where prompt and accurate

trafficking of radioactive material from the former Soviet Union. So there were a lot of projects funded by the International Atomic Energy Agency, US State Department, DOE etc. to test, select and install equipment that is capable of detecting and controling trafficking of radioactive and nuclear materials at the borders and within CIS countries. Polimaster was one of the companies that, due to very professional engineering team, capable of designing

equipment that fully met international safety requirements and in fact set up industrial standards for many types of equipment used for radiation detection and measurement in this area. Another growth factor in the market for radiation detection products was the events of September 11, 2001 in the US. The world understood the threat of using radioactive and nuclear materials by terrorists and a lot of R&D and government funding was dedicated to designing better equipment to prevent and address this.

D P S : Yo u a r e l o c a t e d i n To k y o a n d represented by Marubeni Nuclear Services; have you seen any specific requirement or increase of your operation following the Fukushima accident? Alexander Gordeev: Yes, the Fukushima accident had one major effect on Polimaster – during the week after it happened, we sold out all inventory as well as all manufacturing capacity for the 6 upcoming months. The demand from the market was huge and any kind of equipment capable of measuring radiation – dosimeters, radiation detectors, identification device and so on – were scarce. I recall this was very similar to the situation after the Chernobyl accident in the former Soviet Union – there was no instrumentation, no knowledge, no training, and people did not know what to do regarding the radiation. In response to this growing demand we increased production capacities and established Polimaster’s office in Tokyo to serve as a service center, this was very important for the Japanese customers.

Calibration Station_Verification of the instruments

DPS: You firstly manufacture dosimeters and your range of products even expands to wristwatch gamma indicators - what drives your engineering? How come you offer more than 140 types of equipment - is it to remain leader or address perpetual new demands from the market? Alexander Gordeev:

There are two main factors that drive our engineering; the first one is the demand from the market. Many products were designed to answer specific market requests. For example, dosimeters that can work in severe environmental conditions. We designed ours to meet special needs of customers such as the uranium mines, first responders and so on. The other factor was the challenge to build something that

DPS: Is your market still growing in Japan? Alexander Gordeev:

Right now it is steady, a lot of manufacturers of radiation detection equipment of questionable quality supplied a lot of products to Japanese markets, but users in Japan now prefer to acquire quality and professional specification products, not just any equipment that detects radiation, so for Polimaster’s equipment which was always highend in terms of technical performance and specification, the demand remains high, but significantly smaller compared to just after the accident. The market has also shifted to the different types of radiation detection products, for example equipment for measuring food or soil contamination, etc.

outperforms the market. For example, you mention the Swiss watch, it was designed because we just could do this. We could miniaturize the product and put it in a wristwatch - that was impossible for any other company in the world to do at that time. These two factors remain nowadays as well, for example last year we engineered a food contamination monitor, which was driven by post Fukushima demand.

DPS: When did you enter the Chinese market? Alexander Gordeev: We’ve been delivering occasionally to China from the very beginning of Polimaster, but regular sales

and technical support of radiation detection equipment started in 2000, when the first official dealer/distributor in China was assigned – BELAZ Trading and Service Co.

DPS: And who was your first client? A nuclear power plant operator or another client? Dosimeter for Mining PM1604

Alexander Gordeev:

It was thirteen years ago - quite hard to recall now! In general, Polimaster was mostly distributed for the interest of Environmental Protection Agency throughout Mainland China at that time. Some models of Polimaster products were well accepted by such markets as Customs and Border Protection services, and later on, we entered the Chinese nuclear industry market with our Products.

DPS: When you entered this market did you see any specific barriers? Alexander Gordeev: The main barrier we faced at that

time and one that we still experience is communication and the language. It is very hard to understand and to build a complete picture - who is the customer, what does he need, the type of products does he really want, how to get products to the customer, etc. These were the main challenges we experienced at that time. But now we can say that all this is hard but solvable, even learning Chinese!

in a product range but at the same time have a different client base. Every company has its own pool of clients and they usually don’t compete with each other. Kadinuo, for example, is a very good supplier of products for the nuclear industry - it provides technical support as well, not only distribution. But we treat all distributors equally and intend to work on new projects with all of them, including markets in the nuclear industry.

DPS: Why did you originally choose an agent rather than dealing direct? Alexander Gordeev: We decided to go step by step and

use evolutionary approach to optimize business risks. So we

DPS: Right now, who are your major clients in China? The operators? The research institutes? Others? Alexander Gordeev:

Right now we work with a

started looking for solid local companies, which already had their own client base - no problem with communication and cultural barriers, etc. We do plan to open Polimaster’s own technical service facility in the future in this market.

DPS: You have specific dosimeters created for the Uranium Mining and Nuclear Fuel Production markets. Do you have clients such as China North Nuclear Fuel (factory 202) in Baotou or Jianzhong Nuclear Fuel (Factory 812) in Yibin? Alexander Gordeev:

No, we did not work with these companies. For the mining business, our main customer is Cameco in Canada. There are two different types of products we delivered to them, the PM1604 personal dosimeter, designed for a very severe operation environment to survive in uranium mine, as well as new personal dosimeter PM1610.

measuring equipment, and we see a lot of changes and new demands in China as well. A lot of people who are not professionals, who do not face radiation in day to day business, but are interested in radiation protection, start to think how to protect themselves, their relatives and understand what ionizing radiation is. A completely new market has appeared for products that are easy to use by non-professionals, and designed for regular households and the public. Following market demand, Polimaster designed a couple of new products; one of them is a radiation detector for the iPhone called Polismart. Any user who has an iPhone can buy the Polismart Gamma Detector and plug it in to the dock-port, to see Detector for Iphone PM1904

DPS: Do you have cooperation with the operators, s u c h a s D a y a B a y N u c l e a r Management Company? Alexander Gordeev:

Our equipment is very well designed to meet the needs of operators of nuclear power plants, for the protection of the personnel who work with any kind of radiation sources. But in China we do not deliver directly to the operators, although many of them use Polimaster equipment. However we know well and cooperate with CNNC and CGNPC, we deliver our products to them, and they supply our products to different locations and entities.

DPS: Since Fukushima, have you seen new specifications in China for your dosimeters and other gamma detection devices? Alexander Gordeev:

The Fukushima accident had a large influence on the market of radiation protection and

a map, the radiation level and share it with friends. Another product that was designed following the Fucushima demand was a detector for measuring contamination of food and soil with radioactive nuclides. It is, as everything from Polimaster, professional but small, designed for households, and easy to use. All existing equipment that measure food contamination is very large, heavy and quite expensive so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to make this technology available for regular households, make it smaller but provide the same technical specifications and performance as those in expensive professional equipment.

DPS: But you have not seen any change from CGNPC or CNNC, such as modification of your products? Alexander Gordeev:

We have several projects and requests from those organizations to design dosimeters that meet their specific needs and we have introduced a number of new technologies in new Polimaster models of dosimeters some of them were driven by demand from the Chinese market - for example the fast wireless readout of data from personal dosimeters.

DPS: China imports most of its uranium, in particular from Kazakhstan; have you provided equipment for border control to the Chinese customs? Alexander Gordeev:

Yes, we provided a different type of equipment because we have a large scope of products for border protection from radioactive materials and we deliver large portal monitors in China, and other types of detectors used for Food Contamination Monitor PM1406

DPS: What’s your strategy to ensure your products’ competitive edge? Alexey Nourlybaev:

The composition of innovative features, high quality and fair prices makes Doza one of the most competitive equipment manufacturers in Russia. The metrological background of our founders allows Doza to provide unique measuring accuracy, which is considered very valuable by Russian specialists. Our experts participate in standards and requirements development as members of several domestic and international technical committees. The radiation monitoring segment is strictly regulated, which makes standards Laser cutting machine in Doza

compliance mandatory, requiring Doza to supply equipment only after thorough tests of every piece. It is very important to continue being the leading manufacturer, not only supplier, although many companies which I know have switched from making their own equipment to reselling. In my opinion it is a dead end for a company itself and its activity area.

China has shown fantastic growth in nuclear technologies in recent years, and in my opinion, now is the time to introduce our company’s most advanced products. The portable dosimetry market is fairly full of good devices and I see potential in another area: radiation

DPS: What’s your strategy on product R&D? How much share does your R&D take in Doza’s annual budget? A l e x e y N o u r l y b a e v : R&D is one of the main departments in Doza. I cannot disclose exact numbers but our R&D account is almost unlimited. The only limit for research is the number of experts in the market. Doza has fairly strong team of researchers and is still headhunting in Russia and abroad. For example, we had to “steal” a highly-skilled scientist from CERN. Doza also employs students from the main technical universities in Russia.

DPS: What projects does Doza have in China? Alexey Nourlybaev: Several

months ago Doza took part in the NIC’2012 exhibition in Beijing to evaluate potential customers’ interest in our equipment. I saw people asking detailed questions about different features of our devices. They were technically competent and looked really interested. I see such technicians as one of our main “catalysts” in China. Now

We need to earn customers trust starting from fairly small supplies. However, we made fairly large supplies of portable dosimeters through China to Japan right after the horrible Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.

DPS: What were the main obstacles and/ or technological challenges you have encountered in China? How did you overcome them? Personal dosimeter

Nourlybaev:

The main obstacle we need to

overcome is that Doza is not well-known in China yet. We have equipment, which is cheaper than MGP’s and Canberra’s devices for example, and has better characteristics. We are new in the market, and that is why we need to work hard to show Chinese customers that our devices are among the top products in the world. Moreover, despite our equipment is fully IEC compliant, Chinese customers are often interested in running additional tests. It is hard for us to discover all aspects of the certification processes in China, but we count on Chinese partners help.

DPS:Do you have a local team to support Chinese customers? How many people are working on the support team? If not, how does Doza respond to Chinese customers’ requirements? Alexey Nourlybaev:

We have a partner, which had positive experience of supplying fairly large RMS fully manufactured by our company: Shanghai ZDAN International Co., Ltd. We have also trained ZDAN’s engineer for supporting our equipment, including lectures on physical foundation of our equipment operation. They even have Russian translator, who really helps us to communicate quickly with non-English speaking customers.

DPS: You just received a patent for the doserate meter/radiometer MKS-15D “Snegir”. Do you have a strategy for this product in China? Alexey Nourlybaev: I don’t think any special strategy is needed for that kind of a product. Snegir is beta- and gamma-

What I really want to push hard is our cutting-edge RMS devices: radioactive aerosols monitor UDA-1AB, iodine monitor UDI-1B, noble gas monitor UDG-1B, H-3/C-14 monitor UDGB01, steam generator leakage monitor UDGP-01 and many others. We tried to make the English version of our website most convenient for getting both general and detailed information on every device. We also gave away hundreds of our catalogues at the NIC’2012 exhibition. We are open to any offers and requests and I hope all our efforts will result in Doza’s rapid development in the Chinese market of radiation monitoring equipment.

1. Introduction A t o m i c E n e r g y o f C a n a d a L i m i t e d ’s ( A E C L ) P a s s i v e Autocatalytic Recombiner (PAR) is designed for use in postaccident conditions in which hydrogen is present in reactor containment. The recombiner converts hydrogen and oxygen into water vapour and heat by means of a catalytic reaction. The heat of reaction along with the PAR geometry creates a natural convective flow through the recombiner, eliminating the need for pumps or fans to bring fresh hydrogen to the surface of the catalyst (see Figure 1).

The AECL PAR has undergone extensive qualification testing for design basis accident (DBA) and severe accident (SA) scenarios for CANDU reactors and light water reactors (LWRs). Figure 1 Principle of PAR Operation

constituent). The AECL PAR capacity was studied as a function

In addition to the current qualified designs, AECL is currently completing qualification of a larger design. AECL has supplied PARs to France, Finland, Ukraine, South Korea and is currently being deployed in Canadian nuclear power plants. The intention of this paper is to discuss the qualification testing performed on the AECL PAR and the on-site, in-service testing required to assure the PAR is ready for service as well as to provide an update on the commercial accomplishments of AECL PARs. Prior to this, the characteristics, features and performance of the recombiner and the AECL PAR test facilities will be described.

2. AECL PAR characteristics, features and performance AECL’s PAR design consists of flat rectangular catalyst plates arranged vertically in an open ended box (housing), with an attached cover. Oxygen and hydrogen react at the surface of the catalyst producing water vapour and heat. The heat generated at the catalyst surface combined with the PAR geometry creates a natural convective flow through the recombiner without external power or operator action. Warm humid air with unreacted hydrogen is exhausted through the PAR outlet. Owing to its compact design, the PAR can be easily installed individually or in groups, and the modular design facilitates distribution of the required hydrogen removal capacity through reactor containment. The catalysts used in PARs are proprietary AECL formulations developed for application in radioactive environments. Two catalyst formulations, Type 89-24 and Type 99-11, are available. The catalysts have high activity for hydrogen oxidation, are not deactivated by water vapour or steam, operate over a wide range of temperatures (13 - 750 °C) and are unaffected by exposure to high radiation. The catalysts are wet-proofed using a proprietary procedure. Water is repelled, but hydrogen and oxygen are able to diffuse to the active sites for the recombination reaction to occur. PAR performance is characterized by two parameters: hydrogen removal rate (capacity) and self-start threshold. Hydrogen removal rate (capacity) Hydrogen removal rate (capacity) is defined as the amount

of temperature (286-378 K), pressure (90-400 kPa(abs)) and hydrogen concentration (0.5-6.0 vol. %). For oxygen-limited gas mixtures, the capacity is a function of oxygen concentration. PAR capacity increases with increasing pressure and limiting reactant concentration, and decreases slightly with increasing temperature. Capacity is insensitive to the presence of diluents such as steam, CO2, or N2 as long as an above-thes toichiometric amount of oxygen required for recombination is available. Self-start threshold Self-start threshold is the minimum hydrogen concentration required to develop a self-sustained convective flow through the recombiner at a given (ambient) temperature. The selfstart hydrogen concentration decreases with an increase in the ambient temperature. A PAR containing new (or regenerated) catalyst will self-start at 2% hydrogen by volume in a water vapour saturated atmosphere at 20ºC within 30 minutes. PAR catalysts are susceptible to degradation, as are all noble metal catalysts. This can be understood as the result of phenomena that remove active sites from the catalyst surface -for instance, the occupation of active catalyst sites by adsorbed molecules other than O2 and H2. Airborn volatile organic compounds (VOCs) might be present in nuclear containment air. They may originate from chemicals (paints, solvents, lubricants, glues, etc.) used during reactor maintenance outages. VOCs can also be released from painted surfaces and insulation, especially with heating during a reactor restart. VOCs can adsorb on the surface of any noble metal catalyst taking up some of the available active sites. This will lead to a temporary deactivation/degradation of the catalyst, thereby affecting PAR self-start. The amount of adsorbed VOCs will decrease with increasing ambient temperature. Adsorbed VOCs can be removed with heat generated by the exothermic reaction between hydrogen and oxygen on the catalyst surface or heating the catalyst in air in an oven. With the application of heat, eventually all VOCs will desorb from the catalyst and the original catalyst activity and performance will be restored. AECL’s PAR containing new catalyst plates will self-start at ≤ 2% hydrogen, ≤ 20°C, 1 bar and 100% RH [1]. However, after exposure to nuclear containment air, the active sites of the PAR

self-start will decrease exponentially with increasing temperature [2]. Once started the PAR operates at the design capacity. Therefore, the PAR capability to self-start (readiness for service) is the critical characteristic to monitor.

3. AECL PAR Testing Facilities The Large Scale Vented Combustion Test Facility (LSVCTF, Figure 2), located in Whiteshell Laboratories in Manitoba, is a 10 m long, 4 m wide and 3 m high rectangular enclosure with an internal volume of 120 m3. The facility is designed to be versatile so that many geometrical configurations can be achieved. The facility can be subdivided into two or three compartments using partitions, which have openings to allow internal venting. The facility incorporates extensive capabilities for instrumentation, data acquisition, gas sampling and analysis. Other features of the facility include operation at temperatures exceeding 100°C for extended time intervals and remote operation to ensure safety of the personnel. Test conditions in the facility can be controlled and measured accurately. Instrumentation and facility modifications can be performed quickly due to easy access to the interior of the test chamber. The Containment Test Facility (CTF) sphere (Figure 3) has

Figure 2 Large-Scale Vented Combustion Test Facility

an internal volume of 6.6 m3, is rated for pressures up to 10 MPa, and can be trace-heated. The facility has systems for the controlled addition of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and air. The sphere can be steam trace heated and cooled to a limited degree. It is leak-tight and thus allows experiments at elevated pressures, low oxygen, and/or the presence of selected gases. The sphere is ideal for long-term (several days) experiments where it is desired to maintain conditions for the test duration. Test conditions in the CTF sphere can be controlled and measured accurately.

4. AECL PAR Qualification The AECL PAR was subjected to cumulative stressors that simulated the operational conditions the recombiner is expected to be exposed to during its lifetime. Qualification also included subjecting the PAR to potential post-accident conditions. Baseline functional tests were performed to determine the Figure 3 Containment Test Facility

The WPT is comprised of a temperature controlled enclosure (oven chamber) where a PAR catalyst plate is inserted. A mixture of 2% hydrogen (by volume) in air is admitted into the oven chamber and over the catalyst plate at a controlled flow rate. Six infrared sensors monitor the temperature increase of the catalyst plate as a function of time. “PASS” or “FAIL” is indicated relative to the station-specific requirement for PAR self-start. A “PASS” denotes the plate will meet the requirement. However, it does not give an indication of the actual degradation of the catalyst. Thus, the plate must be regenerated before re-installation. A “FAIL” indicates that the plate has degraded beyond the stationspecific requirement. Therefore, the inspection schedule may need to be modified to ensure uninterrupted PAR availability for service.

fuel aerosols on PAR capacity was tested using a reduced-size PAR unit in the H2PAR facility in France [1]. Poisoning tests were performed to examine the separate effects of post-accident chemicals on PAR catalyst samples and the full scale PAR. The chemicals include iodine, methyl iodide, hydrazine, chlorine, hydrochloric acid, formaldehyde, benzene, cable/kerosene fires, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. The recombination activities (recombination rates) of the exposed samples were compared to the activities of new catalyst [1]. The recombiner was evaluated under CANDU operating conditions to study the effect of VOCs present in the containment air on the catalyst by installing trial PARs in CANDU reactors. Functional testing, including thermal aging and tests with sprays, was conducted in the LSVCTF and CTF at AECL-WL. Poisoning tests were carried out at AECL-CRL. Radiation aging, seismic qualification and tests including exposure to fuel aerosols were

AECL recommends performing the following activities during every maintenance outage: · Visually inspect a few plates per PAR · Test three starter plates per PAR in the WPT · Regenerate (or replace with regenerated/new catalyst plates) the starter plates in each PAR If the required self-start temperature is equal to or exceeds 100°C, the VOCs are not of great concern, as it has been determined through years of research that the AECL PAR will self-start at 2% hydrogen by volume or less regardless of the catalyst degradation level.

6. AECL PAR Commercial Experience The AECL PAR has been supplied to CANDU reactors in Canada and PWR and VVER reactors in France, Finland, Ukraine and South Korea.

7. Conclusion The AECL PAR is a device which employs a catalyst to facilitate

the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen producing water and heat. It is a passive system which self-starts/self-feeds and does not require power or operator action. It has undergone extensive qualification testing at AECL’s hydrogen test facilities and international facilities. The PAR requires in-service testing using the WPT and periodic regeneration due to the susceptibility of noble metal catalyst to degradation by VOCs. Since 2003, AECL has supplied PARs globally.

certainly not yet the leader in this field, there are many notable developments regarding SMRs in China. Just like in other parts of the world, SMRs in China represent an exciting new sector for nuclear power.

History of SMR Development in China China has been working on small reactor designs since it tested and launched its nuclear submarines in the 1970s. China has developed several small-scale reactors including Qinshan Phase I, the CNP-300, which was China’s first commercial PWR and falls into the small reactor category (i.e., less than 300 MWe in capacity). Although China has focused mostly on large-scale PWRs as its technology of choice, China also began developing SMRs for different applications back in the 1980s. China developed, built, and operated a Nuclear Heating Reactor (NHR) with a power capacity of 5 MWe, NHR-5 for district heating supply and seawater desalination. A High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTR) with a power capacity of 10 MWe, the HTR-10, was later built in Beijing. A team led by Tsinghua University and Huaneng Group is now expanding the HTR-10 design to a modular design with a power capacity of 200 MWe. Construction works for this HTR-PM demonstration project at Shidaowan, Shangdong Province, started in December 2012. Recently, CNNC also announced its own small modular design, called the ACP-100. This is a 100- 150 MWe PWR designed for electricity, heat, and/or desalination. A plant utilizing this design will have a flexible configuration, scalable from one to eight modules. CNNC already signed an agreement in 2011 with the Zhangzhou municipal government in Fujian Province, which is planning to host the first ACP-100 demonstration plant. Meanwhile, China has also become a calling point for many international designers and developers of SMRs and advanced reactor designs. Companies that have been reportedly in

Key Drivers for China’s SMR Development Although China has worked on small reactors for several decades, until very recently the country has had no strategic plan to develop and deploy these technologies. Therefore, China’s small reactor design program has been limited to small scale R&D without major advances. In the 1990s, China obtained pebble-bed HTR technologies from Germany through Chinese engineers sent there to study nuclear engineering. After their studies, these engineers came back and became a major working force at Tsinghua’s Institute of Nuclear Energy Technology (INET) to conduct the HTR-10 project. Since China’s policy shift to strongly promote nuclear energy in the mid-2000s, the nuclear industry gradually became more interested in SMR designs partially due to the global emphasis on SMRs, which remains strong even after Fukushima. China’s nuclear industry now also has financial support from the government and sufficient investment from power companies to develop demonstration units for SMR technologies. In addition, China has realized that there is a huge gap with other major nuclear power countries in terms of technology innovation, and it is working hard to close this gap. In the near future, China aims to transform from a technology importer to an exporter. Although Chinese nuclear officials have often mentioned that small reactor applications could be a solution to help remote areas without grid infrastructure and coastal areas lacking fresh water, domestic applications are unlikely to be a major driving force. Instead, technology innovation and goals to export serve as the primary drivers for SMR development in China.

Organizations Involved Several organizations are involved in SMR work in China,

stage, there have been only two major institutes involved: INET at Tsinghua University and the Nuclear Power Institute of China (NPIC) under CNNC. INET, as a pure academic institute, is China’s pioneer in working on small reactor R&D programs. Its engineers and researchers designed NHR-5, NHR-200, HTR-10, and HTR-PM for different applications. In addition, it also works on supercritical light water reactor technologies for submarines. NPIC has provided engineering design work for the ACP-100 reactor.

is slated to pave the way for an 18-unit (3,780 MWe) power

In addition, China Guodian Group formed a joint investment, Zhangzhou Energy Company, with CNNC to develop the first ACP-100 demonstration plant in Zhangzhou, Fujian (CNNC has 80% share; China Guodian has 20% share). China Power Investment Corporation (CPIC), which is one of the three power companies that can own and operate nuclear power plants in China, is also interested in small reactor designs and is currently conducting research on small reactor project siting and already signed a collaborative agreement with Zhuzhou municipal government in Hunan Province. China Guangdong Nuclear Power Corporation (CGNPC) seems to be behind on the small reactor design and development competition; however, CGNPC is making some progress in this area. China Nuclear Power Technology Research Institute (CNPRI), the R&D branch of CGNPC, formed a team which is responsible for small reactor R&D in 2012 and hosted a small reactor forum in Xi’An in September 2012. In addition, CGNPC also has held talks with NuScale from the U.S. SNPTC, the state-owned enterprise that is in charge of AP1000 technology transfer is also aware of the competition. It has held talks with B&W in the U.S. to seek potential opportunities on small reactor technology transfer.

plant. However, the first step in the HTR-PM project consists of construction of two commercial-scale 210 MWe units, although it is considered a demonstration plant. Although the project obtained a construction permit in 2009, it only began construction in December 2012 due to differing views within China’s nuclear industry that questioned the safety performance of pebble-bed core designs amid China’s post-Fukushima reviews. At the end of 2012, the project finally obtained the permit to proceed and poured first concrete. It has been estimated that construction time for the first demonstration project will be approximately 50 months after first concrete. Currently, the project has pre-ordered 90% (in costs) of its components, and many of these are in the midst of manufacturing. Large key components, such as the reactor pressure vessel (RPV), steam generators, and turbine-generator systems have been ordered. Except for the RPV and steam generators (SGs), all components can be derived from standard nuclear-grade manufacturing. It appears that Shanghai Electric Co. will produce the RPV, Harbin will be in charge of the SGs, and Fangda Carbon New Material Technology Co. will be in charge of the reactor vessel internals. Therefore, there is little concern that China will be able to produce the necessary major components for the HTR-PM. Meanwhile, the main Helium ventilator and control rod drive mechanism (CRDM) are still in R&D. Instrumentation and control (I&C) systems and electrical equipment remain weak points, where foreign suppliers may be enlisted to complete the supply chain.

The HTR-PM team has already completed comprehensive testing of key technologies for fuel kernel production. A fuel production line is under construction with capacity of producing 300,000 fuel elements per year at Northern Fuel Fabrication Plant in Inner Mongolia. China also has a contract with SGL Group in Germany for supply of the initial 500,000 machined graphite spheres for the HTR-PM demonstration project. However, validation of large scale fabrication of the pebble fuel with high quality has yet to be proven. This may still be a challenge for the HTR-PM team. Besides its technical challenges, the economics of HTR-PM are still questionable compared to large-scale PWRs. Strategies are proposed to lower its cost, including simplified reactor auxiliary, I&C, and electrical systems as well as modular construction.

be reduced to RMB 20,000/kWe (~$3,200/kWe) in the future.

Conclusions It seems quite clear that China’s nuclear industry is quickly following the recent international trend to develop small reactor technologies. Each nuclear power company in China is developing its own strategic plan. The HTR-PM and ACP100 will be the first batch of Chinese SMRs to be built and demonstrated. Other SMR designs might eventually be developed and deployed in the future. However, the domestic market is still uncertain for small reactors due to the large scale deployment and feasible economics of larger 1,000 MWe nuclear power plants in China. As a result, China may be targeting the international market rather than domestic applications for its small reactors in the next decades. Nonetheless, the domestic market remains important in connection with efforts aimed at demonstrating the safety and economics of these technologies. Thus, the new SMR sector in China is certainly one to watch going forward.

between one and eight modules. The first demonstration project in Zhangzhou is slated to start construction at the end of 2013 with an aggressive construction schedule. It is set to provide the city with electricity, heat, and water desalination. The design uses passive safety features already included in Generation III designs and has an underground siting option. The ACP-100 design has an output power level of 100 MWe. According to CNNC, the ACP-100 estimated construction time is 30 months and a design life of 60 years. The fuel cycle length for this PWR is expected to be 24 months. Economics is definitely a challenge for small reactor designs due to the economies of scale rule. China has also acknowledged this issue. According to CNNC, it estimated that the first demonstration project will cost approximately RMB 25,000/kWe (~$4,000/kWe).

The grid-connection of the Hongyanhe NPP not only optimizes Liaoning’s electricity supply structure but also speeds up the process of realizing the targets of energy saving and emission reduction. It will help to improve the environment and air quality. Compared with the same scale of thermal power plant, the first four units of Hongyanhe NPP will realize an annual reduction of standard coal consumption of 10 million tons, carbon dioxide emission reduction of 24 million tons and sulfur dioxide emission reductionof 230,000 tons, which equals building 66,000 hectares.

These experts said that the long-term nuclear power development plan was approved by the State Council in 2007. The plan defines that our installed nuclear power capacity will

Statistics show that the installed nuclear power capacity for the

units in operation is about 9 million kW, only 1.3% of China’s total power capacity. The percentage in other countries is as high as 16%, with even higher figures in France, Japan and the US. “Apparently, the nuclear markets in France and Japan almost reached saturation, and the demand for uranium resources is very stable now. While, the domestic demand of uranium in China is very limited, so it is a buyer’s market”, Said Yu Zusheng, a senior expert from the committee of State Nuclear Power Technology Co., Ltd. He also said that China has an opportunity to seek the saying on the international uranium price. Currently, each million kilowatts will cost 130 to 150 tons of natural uranium (uranouranic oxide), said one expert. So if the installed nuclear power capacity can reach 40 million kilowatts by 2020, the annual domestic demand of uranium will increase to between 5200 and 6000 tons. At the end of last year, CNNC announced that a breakthrough was made in the geological exploration of natural uranium. The largest uranium deposit was discovered in Erdos, Inner Mongolia. CNNC said that more and more uranium resources were discovered each year, which could not only meet the demand of the domestic nuclear market but set a solid base for the mid and long-term development of Uranium. We therefore have the opportunity to have a say on the international uranium price. And it is said that a price negotiation system among national nuclear prices is underway. “However, as uranium is a very special resource, the price is not only determined by market supply and demand, other factors also influence it. So we must prepare our own uranium resource reserve,” said one expert.

Haiyang NPPs Unit1 Internal Components Delivered Recently, the ships loaded with Haiyang Unit 1 reactor internal arrived at Haiyang Nuclear dock. The internal was loaded in Portsmouth, US, on 9th, December 2012 and arrived in Shanghai Port on 6th, and on 10th they were shipped to the Haiyang NPP site. The internal is one of the most important key pieces of equipment for nuclear island. It consists of upper and lower internal parts. It offers a support for the reactor core and provides directions for the control rod drive package. Also, it forms a passageway for the reactor coolant. The Haiyang unit 1 internal was made by Westinghouse’s Newington plant.

International Cooperation China and France Might Dominate the British Nuclear Market The recent British nuclear development program will be valued at hundreds of millions of pounds, however, Centrica Company, the only British nuclear company, has officially stated to it will retreat from the four NPP construction projects. Now, EDF (Electricite de France) is looking for new partners. Chinese state owned company, CGNPC is engaging in the cooperation discussion with EDF, which means the prospective nuclear supply for the UK market will be controlled by French and Chinese governments. GMB was against Centrica’s retreat. They believe that the nationalization of the British nuclear market is the only way to keep it from the domination of France and China. Centrica, as the only British nuclear enterprise, possesses the capital and professionals for the construction of the four NPPs. Furthermore, EDF promises to give Centrica 20% of the shares of the four NPPs. However, the Fukushima accident resulted in a modification of British nuclear regulations which will cause an increase of the construction cost. Because of that, Centrica decided to quit from the construction plan. Sam Laidlaw, Chief Executive of Centrica, said “Since our initial investment in the program, the requirement of further investment keeps growing, and the construction schedule extended. Based on the considerations of a long investment period and capital turnover rate, we think it will not be an ideal program for Centrica and our shareholders.” Two of the four NPPs are located in Somerset and the other two in Suffolk. Although Centrica gives up its 20% share in the four NPPs, it still has 20% of eight current British NPPs, which will shut down during the next two decades. Source: http://www.china-nea.cn/

Dilemma for French Nuclear According to a report from Tianxia Caijing ("Global Finance") of China National Radio, nuclear power, aviation and railways have always been regarded as the three pillars of the SinoFrench economic cooperation, but it seems that France is falling into a dilemma. On the one hand, China will remain the largest global market for nuclear power and France will not give up this opportunity. On the other hand, France fears being replaced in the future by Chinese nuclear power companies, which constantly reinforce technologies. Wei Jianguo, Secretary General of CCIEE (China Center for International Economic Exchanges) shared his comments on the subject. Wei Jianguo is Deputy Director and current Secretary General of CCIEE and a member of the CPPCC National Committee. His research covers international trade, foreign investment and China-Africa Cooperation. For the Sino-French cooperation in the field of nuclear power, some thought that China depended on French companies, and others believed that Chinese companies would replace their French counterparts. China or France - which has stronger voice? According to Wei Jianguo, in terms of vehicles as well as other products, the Chinese market is admired and appreciated abroad. French nuclear technology is relatively advanced for a given time, but if France does not implement or develop in practice, these technologies will eventually become obsolete. Thus, in the future, France should further cooperate with China to seek more opportunities taking advantage of the Chinese booming nuclear market. French nuclear magnates want to get their hands on the Chinese market, but at the same time, they are afraid. Faced with this dilemma, how will France weigh the pros and cons? In this regard, Wei Jianguo said that France would finally choose to enter this market. It is still a useful method to develop a new market with advanced technology. If France does not transfer its technologies as soon as possible, it will lose the Chinese market as they become outdated. For the prospective international nuclear cooperation, what should Chinese enterprises pay attention to meet with the requirement proposed by French peers? Wei Jianguo believes that China has a perfect mastery. We cannot only cooperate with France, but also with the United States and Japan, even with Russia. Chinese enterprises should fully control the market, and make better decisions. Then, we must admit that France has advanced technology, so we can cooperate with France. We hope that we transfer more technologies as soon as possible, which will benefit the Chinese companies. Source：http://finance.huanqiu.com/

The Signing of I & C Agreement will Boost Chinese Nuclear Power Localization Westinghouse Electric Group will cooperate with SNPAS (State Nuclear Power Automation System Engineering Company) to supply I & C (Instrumentation and Control) systems for AP1000 NPPs. SNPAS and Westinghouse signed the I & C agreement in Beijing, which clearly defined the basic clauses and terms, as well as duties and work scopes for both parties. It also mentioned the plan of the prospective cooperation for other projects. According to the cooperation model they defined in the agreement, SNPAS will work as a general contractor for AP1000 projects and Westinghouse as a sub-contractor. David Howell, senior vice president of Westinghouse Nuclear Automation, said that the agreement will allow Westinghouse to capitalize on the most optimized local resources to supply the most advanced global technology for NPPs. Qiu Shaoyang, general manager of SNPAS spoke highly of the cooperation. There are four AP1000 PWR in construction located in Sanmen and Haiyang. Sanmen Unit 1 will realize the grid-connection and start to operate next year. The other three units will generate power in 2016. China will continue to construct AP1000 units, and it will also develop a local advanced reactor. China signed the technology transfer agreement in 2007, which defined a plan for the construction of NPPs in Sanmen and Haiyang. SNPAS is a joint venture set up by SNPTC (State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation) and SAIC (Shanghai Automation Instrumentation Co., Ltd). It supplies I & C systems and equipment for Sanmen NPP and Haiyang NPP. It is now engaging in the development of I & C systems for advanced large-size PWRs. The requirement of localization for nuclear projects is increasing. And more local suppliers and contractors are involved in domestic NPP projects. Even before the construction of the NPPs, Westinghouse and other contractors had already signed cooperation agreements with local suppliers. Foreign contractors now attach more importance to keeping stable partnerships with local suppliers. Source：http://realtime.xmuenergy.com/

China and Argentina Will Expand the Nuclear Cooperation China and Argentina have extended their cooperation in the field of nuclear energy with the recent signing of two agreements covering operations and technology, as well as the use of

Chinese goods and services in Argentine exports. Both agreements were signed in Buenos Aires by utility Nucleoeléctrica Argentina SA and China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) in the presence of Argentine federal planning minister Julio de Vido, Chinese ambassador Yin Hengmin and CZEC general manager Mao Xiaoming (CZEC is a subsidiary of CNNC). Under the first agreement, Nucleoeléctrica and CNNC will cooperate on issues related to reactor pressure tubes, including engineering, fabrication, operation and maintenance. It will also cover the manufacture and storage of nuclear fuel, licensing, life extension and technological advances. This agreement is aimed at both operating and future nuclear power plant projects. The second agreement calls for the transfer of Chinese technology to Argentina. Under the accord, Argentina could act as a technology platform, supplying third countries with nuclear technology incorporating Chinese goods and services. In addition, the CNNC delegation presented technical and financial aspects of its CAP-1000 reactor, which is one of several designs being considered for Argentina's fourth nuclear power reactor. The signing of the two agreements follows a July 2012 nuclear cooperation accord between Argentina and China involving studies for a fourth nuclear power plant, financed by China, and in transfer of fuel fabrication and other technology. Argentina has two operating power reactors, one at Atucha and the other at Embalse. A second unit at Atucha is nearing completion. Work began on this in 1981 but was suspended due to lack of funds in the 1990s before resuming in 2006. All three units are pressurized heavy-water reactors (PHWRs). Embalse is a 600 MWe Candu-6, while the Atucha units are a Siemens design unique to Argentina. Government plans call for the construction of a fourth unit and a feasibility study has already been conducted. In July 2007, Nucleoeléctrica signed an agreement with Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd (AECL) to establish contract and project terms for construction of a 740 MWe gross Enhanced Candu 6 reactor, as well as completing Atucha 2. A further 740 MWe Enhanced Candu 6 unit was proposed. However, the government has also been talking with reactor vendors from France, Russia, Japan, South Korea, China and the USA, suggesting that the choice of reactor design may not be certain. A final decision on Atucha 3 is pending completion of Atucha 2. In September 2007, AECL signed a memorandum of understanding with Nucleoeléctrica and CNNC to conduct a joint study for cooperation in the design, manufacture, construction

and operation of Candu nuclear power reactors on future projects in Argentina, Canada and China. In addition, CNNC and Nucleoeléctrica agreed to strengthen cooperation in sharing and exchanging their Candu 6 reactor operational and maintenance experience. Source: http://realtime.xmuenergy.com/

Completion of Construction and Concrete Pouring of the First Volute in Fuqing NPP On 5th February, the concreting for the volute of 3PX pump room in B district of Fuqing NPP was finished. The construction of the volute is one of the most difficult parts of civil nuclear work. It is combined with highly intensive steer bars, the bonding process is very complex and the space for construction is severely limited. Furthermore, it requires a high degree of accuracy for the installation of the embedded parts. The concrete is made with fiber and ganister sand, which make concreting more difficult. The construction team formed a new strategy based on previous experiences. They combined the D district and F1 district to finish the concreting. The highest concreting of Fuqing NPP reached 6.363m. One month and half were saved from the project with enhanced site supervision which guaranteed the quality of the project. This successful concreting was closely related to the cooperation between each company involved in this project. It was finished before the Chinese Spring Festival which helps the realization of 2013 targets.

China to Develop More Coastal NPPs As early as in the 1980s, China began selecting sites for inland NPPs, and several sites were chosen. However, 41 units in operation are located in or near coastal areas. The Fukushima accident, as well as a report from Wangjiang local government, resulted in the opposition of local people. The three proposed new inland NPPs might fail to gain approval from the 12th Five Year Plan. Although the investigation showed that the sites for the three inland NPPs are favorable for construction and more capital would be invested in Pengze NPP project, it only represents local governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confidence of the inland NPPs and nuclear enterprises. It does not reflect a practical significance. There are 21 coastal units engaging in preliminary work, which together produce 22.24 million kW. 12.42 million kW of units in operation and 27.05 million kW of units are in construction, all the three add up to 61.71 million kW, which is 8 million kW less than the previous estimation of 70 million kW.

work could officially start), but investigation shows the qualified conditions have already been prepared. It will take less than two years to get the final approval for construction，which means if a “road ticket” can be received in 2014, the projects can start to be constructed by the end of 2015, and an installation can be finished before 2020 - that would help to reach the previous target of 70 million kW. The three inland NPP projects have already finished the bidding for their main equipment. If no constructions are approved, the successful bidding will be delayed or canceled. However, NDRC might give the “road ticket” to coastal projects to replace the inland ones to meet the target of 70 million kW. The equipment for those NPPs has not yet started bidding, so new orders will be delivered to relevant enterprises in the future. Source: http://news.bjx.com.cn/

Polimaster 公司国际部副总监 Alexander Gordeev 先生专访邮箱：pressa@okbm.nnov.ru

DPS: 您可以介绍一下您的背景吗？您是什么时候加入 Polimaster 公司的？ Alexander Gordeev:

我是一名工程师，同时也负责市

电话 : +7 (831) 246-98-27

DPS: 你们生产的设备类型超过 140 种，那么就辐射测量来讲，你们设计制造了哪些仪器？ Alexander Gordeev:

我们有多条生产线，每个生产线

都有多个产品模型。我们致力于为每个需要接触电离辐射或负责辐射量监

场推广工作。我毕业于白俄罗斯州立大学，主修无线物理学和电子学。在

控的人提供我们的产品。我们生产的设备分为几种。第一种是个人电子剂

这所学校，我不仅取得了硕士学位还取得了博士学位。我还获得科罗拉多

量计，用于计量测量、个人剂量、剂量率及事故临界点报警等。这是一种

大学的工商管理硕士学位。我是 2000 年加入 Polimaster 公司的，负责

个人安全防护型电子放射剂量计。第二种是个人放射量探测仪，该仪器

北美、拉丁美洲、亚洲、中东等除欧洲和独联体以外的所有地区的市场

的放射测量敏感度更高，用于电离辐射的搜寻定位。这款设备能够快速探

营销和技术支持工作。2004 年我们在美国弗吉尼亚州的阿林顿市成立了

测外围环境的电离辐射度并及时做出警示。第三种是放射性核素识别仪，

Polimaster 公司。起初我负责公司管理，之后我们又在立陶宛的首都维

通过收集分析光谱告知用户引发警报的放射因素及放射元素的种类。我们

尔纽斯建立了 Polimaster 仪器 UAB 公司，负责欧洲市场的营销及产品制造。在过去的三年中，我作为市场营销总监负责管理集团所有公司的市场营销部。我们的公司主要分布在四个国家，负责本区域的生产和营销。位于美国的公司，负责北美及拉丁美洲市场；位于白俄罗斯明斯克的公司，负责前苏联、中东和亚洲市场；位于日本的公司，负责日本及周边市场，立陶宛公司负责所有欧盟地区的销售、制造和技术支持。

DPS: Alexander Antonovsky 在 20 年前成立了 Polimaster 公司，他成立公司的目的是什么？是否是因为受到切尔诺贝利事故的影响？ Alexander Gordeev:

明斯克曾经是前苏联辐射测量

和 CBRN 便携式探测仪器的主要研发地。那里有测量仪、放射探测、监控仪等设备的大型设计和制造工厂、政府科研机构等，这些设备应用于核电、航空等多个领域，还可用来应对突发状况。因此这里聚集了许多经验

校准站

丰富的专家和工程师。切尔诺贝利核电事故发生后，市面上很难找到能够探测高度放射量的放射量测定器。于是明斯克的工程师们肩负起高度

还有集电离辐射探测、化学生物探测、违禁物品探测于一体的综合设备。

放射量的测定器设计工作，这些仪器不仅能够准确测量放射剂量率、环境

我们生产的产品应用行业广泛，包括核电安全领域、环境保护及所有会涉

计量，还可以在极度恶劣的环境中运作。他们同时还为普通百姓设计了民

及到电离辐射测量的领域都可以用我们公司生产的产品。

用放射量测定仪。1992 年苏维埃政府解体，大型科研机构关闭后很多工程师失去了工作，因此他们开始谋划其它发展途径。1992 年，Alexander Antonovsky 决定成立 Polimaster 公司以继续从事放射量测定仪和放射探测设备的设计和制造。

DPS: 你们的年产量是多少？ Alexander Gordeev:

每年的产量数额不尽相同，平均

年产量为 2 万件，产品类型种类繁多，小到袖珍计量仪，大到大型门式辐射检测器。

专访

DPS: 1992 年你们只有 15 个员工，而现在你 DPS: 现在贵公司的日本市场需求是否还在增们在白俄罗斯、立陶宛、日本、美国均设立公司，长？员工人数高达 200 人。对公司的快速扩大，您 Alexander Gordeev: 目前来讲市场需求已经趋于稳有何看法？定。许多制造商进入日本市场为其提供各式设备，但是质量参差不齐。日

Alexander Gordeev:

公司得以迅速壮大主要是由于市

本工程师更倾向于购买有质量保证的专业设备，因此我们的市场销量依然

场对我们产品的需求的增加，世界局势变动及某些历史事件推动我们公司

很大，但是不像事故刚发生时那样快速增长了，设备的需求方向也变的多

快速成长。苏维埃政府解体后，各国政府开始控制非法放射物走私活动，

样化了，如对于食物和土壤污染探测设备的需求等。

主要针对的是前苏联的走私活动。因此国际原子能机构、美国国务院、美

DPS: 你们最早做辐射计量仪设备，现在又推出了电子腕表伽马射线计量仪，你们的产品能够推陈出新的动力是什么？是如何研发出 140 多种设备的？你们是如何能够满足不同的市场需求并保持市场竞争力的？ Alexander Gordeev:

主要有两大因素推动我们设计如

此多的设备类型。一是市场的需求。我们生产的很多产品是根据客户的要求设计的，如能够在极度恶劣的环境下运行的计量仪设备，及铀矿、应激反应所需的设备等。另外一个因素是我们一直致力于走在市场前沿。正如你之前提到的腕表，我们设计这种腕表计量仪是因为当时市场上没有第二家公司能够将计量仪设备缩小安装在腕表上了，我们是独一无二的。正是这两个因素推动我们推陈出新，如去年我们设计研发了食物污染检测仪，这款产品是针对福岛事故而设计的，有一定的市场需求。

校准站 - 仪器检测

DPS: 你们是什么时候进驻中国市场的？

国能源部等部门投资了很多项目用于设备的研发、测试，这些设备将用于前苏联、独联体国家边境地区的辐射物品测量及违禁品探测。

Alexander Gordeev:

公司刚刚成立的时候与中国有过

几次合作，但是正式的合作是在 2000 年，我们与别拉斯（中国）贸易服 Polimaster 公司的专业团队有幸参与到这些项目中，我们的设备达到国际安全要求，并且我们的辐射探测、测量设备成为行业同类设备的标杆。 2001 年 9·11 事件使得世界开始关注恐怖分子活动和核辐射威胁。许多国家政府开始投资科研机构进行辐射物品的探测设备研发，以期预防类似恐怖事件的发生。

DPS: 你们在日本设立了公司并且是日本瓦红核电服务机构的代表，福岛事故后，日本有没有对你们的产品提出更高的要求，产品需求量有没有增加？ Alexander Gordeev:

是的，福岛事件对我们确实产生

了一定的影响。我们 6 个月的库存产品在一个礼拜之内售罄。日本的需求量非常大，实际上只要是与辐射测量相关的设备他们都会购买，如辐射量测量仪、辐射探测器、识别设备等，市面出现了供不应求的局势。那种情形让我联想到了切尔诺贝利事故，区别在于那时候我们没有探测识别设备、没有相关的专业知识、没有专家，也没有人组织培训来指导人们如何应对这种事故。为了满足日本客户的需求，我们增加了生产量，并在日本东京建立办事处和服务中心。

校准站 - 准直器务有限公司建立合作关系。他们作为我们在中国的经销商开始向中国市场

专访

出售我们的产品。

DPS: 你们为什么不自己销售产品而选择代理商呢？

DPS: 谁是你们的第一个客户，是核电站运营企业吗？

Alexander Gordeev:

这是 13 年前的事情了，已经记

不清楚了。但当时我们的主要设备都供应给了国家环保署。我们的部分产

我们的原定计划是有规划的进入

中国市场，同时这样可以降低市场风险。我们选择的合作公司都是有一定客户资源的，这样就可以避免语言不同和文化差异造成的阻碍。我们计划未来在中国建立一家技术服务公司。

品受到海关和边境部门的肯定，随后我们慢慢进入到中国核电市场。

DPS: 刚进入中国市场的时候有没有遇到阻碍？ Alexander Gordeev:

我们最初遇到的障碍就是沟通问

题。因为存在语言障碍，我们很难制定出进入中国市场的规划，包括客户群定位、了解客户需求、如何进行产品推广等。但是我们有信心克服这些困难，并且我们已经开始学习汉语了。

DPS: 你们有专门应用于铀矿和核燃料市场的专业计量仪。你们是否与中核北方核燃料有限公司（202 厂）或中核建中核燃料元件有限公司（812 厂）有合作？ Alexander Gordeev:

我们目前没有与这两家单位合作。

在矿业领域，我们目前的主要客户是加拿大 Cameco 公司，我们负责向他们提供两种产品：一是 PM1604 个人剂量计，这种产品可以在严峻的铀矿环境中应用，另一种是 PM1610 仪器。

DPS: 现在你们在中国最大客户是核电站运营企业还是研究机构？ Alexander Gordeev:

我们在中国有几家分销商，产品

覆盖四个市场领域—环境保护、医疗、公共安全、核电。

DPS: 你们与核电站运营商有合作吗，如大亚湾核电运营管理有限公司？ Alexander Gordeev:

我们的设备完全满足了核电站运

营商的要求，为那些与辐射源直接接触的员工起到防护作用。虽然中国运

DPS: 你们在中国有三个分销商，分别是别拉斯（中国）贸易服务有限公司、北京华恒鑫达科技发展有限公司和卡迪诺科技贸易（北京）有限公司，他们的市场方向有什么不同？你们采取了什么样的合作方式？ Alexander Gordeev:

实际上现在还有一个分销商在代

理我们的产品 - 北京日之阳有限公司。他们代理的是同样的产品，只是客户群不同。每个分销商都有自己的客户资源，彼此之间不存在竞争关系。如卡迪诺公司主要负责核电市场的产品供应，他们不仅销售产品还向客户提供技术支持。未来我们会与这些分销商共同参与中国项目，当然也包括

营商有购买我们的设备，但是我们与他们没有直接合作关系，事实上我们与中核集团、中广核集团合作，他们购买我们的产品后再分配到各个企业单位。

DPS: 福岛事故发生后，中国市场有没有对你们的计量仪、伽马探测仪等设备提出新的规范要求？ Alexander Gordeev:

福岛事故对中国市场产生了很大

影响。很多非核电领域的人开始关注辐射防护。他们的工作和辐射无关，只是单纯为了保护自己和家人不受辐射影响。我们认识到这是一个全新的

核电项目。

市场，因此我们开始设计民用辐射测量设备。

矿用计量仪 PM1604

探测器 PM1904

我们研发设计了几个新的产品，其中一个是为 IPhone 手机设计的辐射探测仪—Polismart，任何使用 IPhone 的用户都可以购买 Polismart，将其连接到手机上就会显示辐射覆盖的地图，还可以与朋友共享。日本福岛事故后，应市场需求我们设计了一款可以探测食物和土壤放射性核素的污染探测仪。与以往探测仪的笨重、昂贵不同，这个仪器小巧轻便，适用于普

专访

DPS: 中国的大部分铀是从哈萨克斯坦进口。你们是否为中国海关提供相关设备以帮助其进行边境管理？ Alexander Gordeev:

是的。我们有很多产品可以应用

于边境管理。如大型门式检测器及其它海关或边境管理用探测设备等。

通家庭。虽然体积缩小了，但是其采用的还是大型探测仪的技术规格。

DPS: 中广核或中核集团有没有对贵公司的产品提出新的要求？ Alexander Gordeev:

我们有根据他们的要求改进计量

仪。我们在现有的产品中加入了新的技术，有些是根据中国市场需求研发的，如可以快速显示探测读数的无线个人计量仪。

DPS: 中国现在正在大量建设核电站，因此再过 20 年中国将成为世界最大的核电国。 Polimaster 有没有拓展中国市场的战略规划？中国市场对 Polimaster 的影响是什么？ Alexander Gordeev:

近几年中国核电市场快速发展壮

大，我们对此非常关注。我们制定了几种方案以期在中国市场占有一席之地。我们有参与中核集团、中广核集团的项目。我们按照中国客户的要求设计产品，以期更好的为中国核电市场服务。中国设备的本土化发展势头强劲。因此我们认为该类设备“中国制造”势必成为必然，我们正在就这一问题做出努力和尝试。我们从多个角度采取了多个解决方案，如在中国本土寻找合作伙伴进行本地制造，或者在中国成立自己的公司进行市场营销，同时为中国市场提供技术服务。未来有多种可能性，我们会采取多元化的战略计划进驻中国市场。

DPS: 对于其它同样希望走入中国市场的企业，你有什么建议吗？ Alexander Gordeev:

根据市场调整战略规划，要有针

对性。寻找有实力的本土合作伙伴，学习汉语。

SPC Doza 公司销售分销部总监

Alexey Nourlybaev 采访邮箱：a010077@gmail.com

DPS: 您能简单介绍一下您的个人情况吗？您是什么时候加入 Doza 的？您的职位什么 ? Alexey Nourlybaev:

我于 2003 年毕业于莫斯科工程物

理研究所（国家研究核大学）。这所大学是俄罗斯优秀的核设施人才的主要发源地。我自己尝试了不同领域的工作 - 信息安全，视频监控系统等。 2009 年我最终加入 Doza，成为服务与支持部负责人。现在我是销售和分

手机：+7 985 6446996

DPS: 贵公司是辐射监测设备和放射生态应用设备的主要供应商之一，您能多谈谈您其他的业务吗？ Alexey Nourlybaev:

目前 Doza 是一家占有较大市场份

额的大公司，拥有员工超过 200 人。我们最近刚刚建成单独的生产厂房，这大大地促进了 Doza 公司不断发展壮大。我们主要集中于以下几块市场：便携式辐射监测和光谱测定、辐射监测系统、医疗和实验室设备、校准装置。Doza 公司生产的多样化丰富了公司的收益模式，因此它能在供求变化无常的市场上保持相当的独立性。我们的业务几乎涉及到辐射监控的各个方面，我们坚持不断探索，以向客户提供完整的解决方案为目标。另外，Doza 发行自己的科技杂志“ANRY”，它在俄罗斯的辐射监测领域很受欢迎。我们也安排进修课程，邀请优秀的科学家做演说。 “监测和安全” 是我们成立的一家私立教育机构，它获得了所有所需的办学执照，还向学生颁发政府承认的证书。

X 射线医药计量测量仪

销部总监，工作重心转移到为公司制定和实现战略目标上来。

DPS: 能否介绍一下 Doza 的历史背景？它是如何创立的？ Alexey Nourlybaev:

SPC Doza 公司是由俄罗斯主要度

量衡研究所的几名职员创立的，这几名职员具有商业头脑，善于抓住机遇，1991 年俄国革命之后，他们就创立了此公司。Kubeysin Nurlybaev 是我的父亲，他萌生了创办公司的最初想法，成为 Doza 公司的第一任负责人。Doza 在俄语中是“dose”的意思，它形象的说明了公司的经营方向。 Doza 公司几乎从零做起，最初供应辐射监控设备。我认为公司的成功源于创立者艰苦卓绝的奋斗。

先进的辐射监控设备

专访

DPS: Doza 产品研发的策略是什么？产品研发费用占年度预算的多少？ Alexey Nourlybaev:

是 Doza 的主要部门之一。我不能

透漏精确的数字，但是我们的研发费用几乎没有上限，唯一的限制是投放到市场上的专家的数量。Doza 有强大的研究团队，但仍然在国内外物色人才。例如我们从欧洲核子研究委员会“挖”来高级技能科学家。Doza 也雇佣来自俄罗斯重点技术高校的学生。

DPS: Doza 是给国际原子能机构，美国军方和俄罗斯供应辐射监测设备的主要供应商之一，它是什么时候进入中国市场的？ DOZA 激光切割机

DPS: Doza 保持产品竞争优势的策略是什么呢？ Alexey Nourlybaev:

创新特色，高品质和合理的价格

使 Doza 成为俄罗斯最具竞争力的设备制造商之一。创立者们的度量衡学背景使 Doza 公司的产品有独一无二的测量精度，而这又恰是俄国专家非常重视的一方面。我们的专家作为几个国内外技术委员会的成员参与标准和需求开发。辐射监测这一块要求严格，强制遵循标准，Doza 的设备必须通过每一项测试才可以向外供应。我认为成为一流的制造商而不仅仅是供应商是非常重要的。但是很多公司选择从制造设备变为转售设备，这公司本身和业务范围都是死胡同。

新型制造设备

Alexey Nourlybaev:

早在 2010 年我们已经给田湾核电

站供应设备，同时也提供诸如 UMF-2000 分光仪和便携式放射量测定器等不同种类的实验室设备。中国在过去的几年里核技术有了惊人增长，所以现在也是推销我们最先进的产品的好时机。便携式放射量测定市场上的装置几近饱和，我们发现了其它产品的市场潜力：辐射监测系统。在供应和设置大范围辐射监测系统上我们有丰富的经验，包括设计阶段，我们都可以提出完整的解决方案。

DPS: Doza 在中国有哪些项目？ Alexey Nourlybaev:

几个月前，Doza 参加了在北京举

办的 2012 中国国际核工业展览会，展会上，我们评估了潜在客户对我们装备的兴趣。展会山人们针对我们的装置的不同特点进行了详细的询问。他们精通技术，看起来是真的对我们的设备感兴趣。我把这些人当作我们在中国市场的主要“催化剂”之一。现在的主要任务就是让他们得到所有他们想了解的关于 Doza 设备的所有信息。

ANRI 杂志谈论在中国的大项目还言之尚早，从小额订单供应上赢得客户的信任才是

专访

DPS: Doza 是否有一个中国团队服务中国的客户？这个团队有多少人？若没有，你们是如何回应中国客户的需求的？ Alexey Nourlybaev:

我们有一个合作伙伴 - 上海智丹

国际贸易有限公司，它在销售我们生产的辐射监测系统方面有积极的经验。我们也培训上海智丹的工程师支持我们的设备，包括举行设备操作物理基础的演讲等。他们还有俄语翻译，这在帮助我们与非英语国家客户进行有

AECL 非能动自动催化复合器 1

L.B. Gardner1 和 K. Marcinkowska1 加拿大安大略省乔克河加拿大原子能有限公司

摘要加拿大原子能有限公司（AECL）的非能动自动催化复合器（PAR）是一种非能动装置，用于事故发生后减少核反应堆安全壳内的氢气。该复合器采用 AECL 专利催化剂，该催化剂能够促进氢气和氧气发生放热反应以产生水蒸气。由于反应产生的热量以及复合器的几何形状，复合器中发生对流现象：周围的富氢气体进入复合器入口，热而潮湿的贫氢气体从出口流出。加拿大原子能有限公司的非能动自动催化复合器已通过了大量针对加拿大重水铀反应堆（CANDU）和轻水反应堆（LWR）的资格试验，迄今为止已出口法国、芬兰、乌克兰和韩国，目前正在加拿大的多间核电厂得到有效利用。

1、前言加拿大原子能有限公司（AECL）的非能动自动催化复合器（PAR）设计用于事故发生后反应堆安全壳内出现氢气的情况。该复合器通过催化反应将

氢气和氧气转化为水蒸气并释放出热量。由于反应产生的热量以及复合器的几何形状，复合器内发生自然对流现象，因而无需用泵或风扇将新生的氢气抽送或吹送至催化剂表面（见表 1）。在论述上述试验之前，将先行叙述此 AECL PAR 以及 AECL PAR 试验设施 AECL PAR 经过了大量针对加拿大重水铀反应堆（CANDU）和轻水反应堆

的特征和性能。

（LWR）的设计基准事故（DBA）和严重事故（SA）情景的资格试验。该类资格试验是在白贝实验室（AECL-WL）的大规模泄放燃烧试验设施（LSVCTF）和安全壳试验设施（CTF）上、乔克河实验室（AECL-CRL）中以及国际性试验设施（法国的 H2PAR 和 REKO-1，德国的 THAI）上进行的。

2、AECL PAR 特征和性能 AECL PAR 的设计是扁平的矩形催化剂板沿竖直方向置于开口的盒子（外壳）中，并附有连接的盖子。氧气和氢气在催化剂表面发生反应，产生水蒸气和热量。无需外部动力和操作员动作，产生于催化剂表面的热量以及 PAR

受挥发性有机化合物（VOC）的作用，PAR 催化剂可能容易发生退化或中毒现象。由于核反应堆安全壳内存在低浓度的挥发性有机化合物，因此周

的几何形状将促使复合器内发生自然对流现象。带有未反应氢气的潮湿热空气通过 PAR 出口全部排出。

期性的 PAR 催化器再生可能必不可少。AECL 的整板测试仪（WPT）用于在使用过程中检查催化剂板，以确定其是否需要再生。

PAR 的紧凑设计使其无论是单独安装还是成组安装均简单易行，模块化的设计也便于在反应堆安全壳内对所需的氢气移除能力进行分配。

除了已有的合格设计，AECL 目前正在进行针对更大规模设计的资格试验。迄今为止，AECL 已向法国、芬兰、乌克兰和韩国供应 PAR，而且此 PAR 目前正在加拿大的多间核电厂得到有效利用。

PAR 内的催化剂采用 AECL 为放射性环境中的应用而开发的专利配方。有 89-24 和 99-11 型两种催化剂配方可用。该催化剂对于氢气氧化具有很高的活性，不会因水蒸气或蒸汽的作用而失效，可在很大的温度范围内（13 -

或在空气中加热恢复其初活性。此外 AECL 还证明，暴露于 2% 氢气条件下，一个新（或再生）催化剂板所产生的热量可以使 PAR 中临近的催化剂板再生。

PAR 的性能通过两个参数来表示：氢气移除速率（能力）和自启动临界值。

2.1、氢气移除速率（能力）

接着，得到再生的催化剂板所产生的热量又将使其临近催化剂板再生，从而产生“多米诺效应”，最终使得该 PAR 内的所有催化剂板再生 [2]。因此，定期对一个或多个启动催化剂板进行再生处理将保证 PAR 持续不间断的可用

分为两个或三个隔间，这些隔间均配有用于内部排气的开口。该设施在仪表配备、数据采集、气体采样和分析等方面具有丰富的功能。该设施的其他特性包括：可在高于 100° C 的温度条件下运行很长的时间间隔、支持远程操

2.2、自启动临界值自启动临界值是指在给定（环境）温度下复合器内产生自持式对流所需的最低氢气浓度。此自启动氢气浓度随着环境温度的上升而下降。在氢气体积比为 2%、水蒸气饱和的空气环境中、温度为 20ºC 的条件下，一个采用新（或再生）催化剂的 PAR 将在 30 分钟内自启动。与所有惰性金属催化剂相同，PAR 催化剂易于退化。这一点可以理解为活性部位从催化剂表面被去除这种现象的结果——例如，催化剂活性部位被除 O2 和 H2 之外的被吸附的分子所占据。核安全壳空气中可能存在空气传播的挥发性有机物（VOC）。这些挥发性有机物可能产生自反应堆维修停运期间所使用的化学制品（涂料、溶剂、润滑油、粘合剂等）。VOC 也可能由喷漆表面释放或者在绝缘处理中释放，特别是反应堆重启时的加热过程。 VOC 能够吸附在任何惰性金属催化剂表面，占据一部分可用的活性部位。

图 2 大规模泄放燃烧试验设施

这将导致催化剂暂时性的钝化 / 退化，从而影响到 PAR 的自启动。被吸附的 VOC 量将随着环境温度的上升而减少。在催化剂表面发生的氢气氧气放热反应所释放的热量可以去除吸附的 VOC，也可用烤炉对置于空气中的催化剂进行加热达到去除 VOC 的目的。通过加热，最终可去除吸附在催化剂表面的所有 VOC，从而恢复催化剂原有的活性和性能。置有新催化剂板的 AECL PAR 将在氢气≤ 2%、温度≤ 20° C、压力为 1 巴、相对湿度为 100% 的条件下自启动 [1]。但在暴露于核安全壳空气中之后，PAR 催化剂的活性部位可能会被 VOC 占据，从而暂时性地影响到 PAR 的自启动能力。催化剂的状况将取决于安全壳空气中的 VOC 浓度、催化剂暴露于安全壳中的持续时间以及安全壳温度。PAR 催化剂暴露于 VOC 中之后，PAR 可能需要氢气浓度大于 2% 以及 / 或者温度高于 20° C 的条件以快速自启动。如果催化剂在氢气浓度中暴露的时间较长，复合器将在较低的氢气浓度以及 / 或者较低的环境温度下自启动。对于给定的催化剂状况（退化等级）来说， PAR 自启动所需的氢气浓度将随温度的上升而呈指数下降 [2]。PAR 一旦启动，即以设计能力运行。因此，PAR 的自启动性能（随时待用）是需要监视的关键特性。

作以保障人员安全。该设施内的试验条件可以精确地控制和测量。由于可以很便利地进入试验室内部，所以可快速进行仪表配备和设施更改。安全壳试验设施（CTF）球体（见图 3）的内部空间为 6.6m3，额定压力达 10MPa，并且具有伴热功能。该设施具有控制氢气、氧气、氮气和空气添加的多个系统。该球体可在一定限度内实现蒸汽伴随加热或冷却。该球体具有防漏性能，因此可在高压、低氧和 / 或选定气体存在的条件下进行试验。对于需要在试验期内保持试验条件的长时间（数天）试验，该球体是十分理想的试验场所。CTF 球体内的试验条件可以实现精确的控制和测量。

6、AECL PAR 商业经验 AECL 已将其 PAR 供应至加拿大的 CANDU 反应堆和法国、芬兰、乌克兰及韩国的压水反应堆（PWR）和水 - 水高能反应堆（VVER）。AECL PAR 的两个型号（PAR1 和 PAR2）现已通过资格试验并安装在核动力应堆上。第三个型号（PAR3）的设计能力更强，目前正在进行资格试验。

7、结论

的。 AECL PAR 采用催化剂促进氢气和氧气之间发生产生水和热量的反应。

5、AECL PAR 使用期间的检验 AECL PAR 无需特别维护。然而，为确保 PAR 的可用性，即在要求的特定电站条件（温度和氢气浓度）下 PAR 的自启动性能，有必要对催化剂进行定期测试。AECL 为定期现场测试开发了整板测试仪（WPT）——见图 4。

该 PAR 装置是一个能够自启动 / 自给的非能动系统，无需动力或操作员动作。该 PAR 装置在 AECL 的氢气试验设施和国际性试验设施上经过了大量的合格试验。由于惰性金属催化剂对 VOC 引起的退化的敏感性，该 PAR 装置在使用期间需要采用 WPT 进行测试，并需要定期进行再生处理。AECL 自 2003 年开始在全球范围内供应 PAR 装置。

WPT 由受温度控制的外壳（炉室）组成，供 PAR 催化剂板插入。含有 2% 氢气（体积比）的空气混合物以受控流率进入炉室，到达催化剂板上方。六个红外线传感器用于监测催化剂板温升随温度的变化。“通过”或“失败” 的指示与电站对 PAR 自启动的特定要求相关。 “通过”表示催化剂板符合要求。

8、参考资料 [1] J.V. Loesel Sitar 和 K. Marcinkowska，“AECL 专利氢气复合器资格试验联合报告”，CANDU 业主集团报告，COG-00-217，2003 年 12 月。

但是，WPT 并不指示催化剂实际发生的退化现象。因此，催化剂板在再次安装前必须进行再生处理。“失败”表示催化剂板已经退化到不符合电站特定要求的状况。因此可能需要修改检验时间表以保证 PAR 持续不间断的可用性。

模块反应堆的重视。尽管日本发生了福岛事件，这种发展趋势依然强劲。目前，中国核工业集团得到政府和一些电力公司的金融支持，有足够的资金为小型模块反应堆技术研发示范装置。此外，中方意识到在技术创新方面与其他专业化核电国家有很大的差距，但中方正努力缩小这种差距。中国致力于在不久的将来从技术进口国发展成为技术出口国。尽管中国核电官方人员宣称小型反应堆可以解决偏远地区没有电网基础设施和沿海缺少淡水的情况，但是在国内应用很难成为小型堆发展主要驱动力。相反，技术创新和出口技术成为发展小型模块反应堆的主动力。

积极参与小型堆研发的组织机构包括学术性组织机构、技术公司、核电公用事业单位和其他投资者在内的等许多机构都参与了中国小型模块化反应堆的工作。虽然中国小型反应堆项目还处于研发阶段，但是已经有两家重要的机构

小型模块化核反应堆在中国的发展历程作为第一个对小型反应堆理念进行投资的电力公司，华能集团联合中国 20 世纪 70 年代，中国测试并发射了核潜艇，之后就开始从事小型模块化核反应堆的设计。中国已经研发了几个小型反应堆，包括秦山核电一期的 CNP300 压水堆。CNP300 是中国第一个用于商业运行的压水堆，它属于小型反应堆的范畴（发电量少于 300 兆瓦）。

核工业建设集团公司和清华大学共同成立了华能石岛湾核电公司，该公司在山东省建立高温气冷堆示范工程（华能拥有 47.5% 的市场份额，中国核工业建设集团公司有 32.5% 的所有权，清华占有 20%）

尽管中国选择集中精力研发大型

反应堆，但是中国早在 80 年代就着手开发小型反应堆以适应不同的应用。

另外，中国国电集团也成立了联合投资公司，由漳州能源公司和中核集

华能集团组联合团队正将 10 兆瓦的高温气冷堆扩大为 200 兆瓦的模块化设计。高温气冷堆示范工程已于 2012 年 12 月在山东石岛湾开始施工。

中国电力投资公司是中国拥有和运作核电厂的三大电力公司之一，它同样对小型反应堆的设计感兴趣。当前，该公司正在现场指导研发小型反应

中广核看似在小型反应堆设计方面失去竞争力，然而，近期中广核在这个领域取得了一些进步。中广核的旗下研究院，即中国核电技术研究院，于 2012 年成立了专门负责小型反应堆研究与开发的团队，2012 年 9 月在西

者和研发者追逐的焦点。据报道，很多公司和中核集团洽谈合作，包括 B&W 公司（mPower 反应堆的设计者），NuScale Power 公司和 Hyperion 公司（现在是四代技术）。

中国小型模块化反应堆发展的关键驱动力尽管中国从事小型反应堆研发数十年，但是截止目前，中国在发展和部署这些技术没有一个战略性计划，因此小型反应堆的设计仅限于利用之前的技术进行小规模研究和开发。上世纪 90 年代中国工程师被派往德国学习核电工程，由此获得球床高温气冷堆技术。回国后这些工程师成为清华大学核能与新能源技术研究院指导 10 兆瓦高温气冷堆的主力军。2000 年开始，中国政府要求加强核能发展，核能行业才逐渐关注小型模块反应堆的设计，部分原因还要归于全球对小型

负责 AP1000 技术转移的国营企业—国家核电也意识到了竞争。国核与 B&W 公司在美国进行会谈，寻求小型反应堆技术转移的潜在可能性。

目前与将来的项目目前，高温气冷堆示范电站和 ACP100 是两个最有希望推进到示范阶段的设计项目。

应用 ACP100 的核电站将可以配备数量灵活的模型配置，数量从 1 到 8 不等。预计 2013 年底在漳州开工的第一个示范工程有施工周期将十分紧凑，它旨在为漳州市提供电力，热能和淡水。这项设计的非能动安全性能在第三地反应堆设计中有所应用，该项目已秘密着手进行选址工作。ACP100 的输出功率是 100 兆瓦。中核称 ACP100 的施工期为 30 个月，设计寿命为 60 年。压水反应堆的燃料循环周期预期为 24 个月。由于经济规模的限制，设计小型反应堆依然面临巨大挑战。中国已经

月。目前，这个项目已经预定了占总费用 90% 的部件，大多已在制造阶段。像反应堆压力容器，蒸汽发生器，汽轮发电机系统等大型关键部件已经预定。除了压力容器和蒸汽发生器，所有的部件都可以从核级制造商那里买到。据悉，上海电气将制造压力容器，哈尔滨电气制造蒸汽发生器，方大碳素新材料科技公司负责压力容器的内部构件。因此，中国本身可以为高温气冷堆示范工程生产出必要的主要元件，这点无需担心。

同时，氦通风扇和控制驱

动机构依然还在研究开发中，仪器控制系统和电力设备依然是国内弱项，可能要依赖国外供应商，才能彻底完成这个项目的供应链。示范项目小组已经完成了对燃料芯核的关键技术的综合试验。位于中国内蒙古的燃料生产线正在建设中，这个北方燃料工厂每年可以生产 300000 个燃料组件，中国还与德国 SGL 集团签订了初期为高温气冷堆示范工程提供 500000 个加工石墨球的合同。然而，尚未证实大规模制造高品质球状燃料的确切消息。对于高温气冷堆示范项目小组来说，这仍是一个挑战。与大规模压水堆相比，除了技术问题，经济条件也是大问题。解决的办法就是降低花费，包括简化反应堆辅助设备，仪器仪表和控制系统及部件结构等。

ACP-100 随着小型模块反应堆的研究日趋国际化，2010 年中核集团下的核动力研究院将目光转向发展具有非能动安全特性的小型集成模块化压水反应堆。中核将 ACP100 作为动力资源的多功能途径。ACP100 同时适用于电力、工业用热、脱盐处理。并且适用于缺乏能源的偏远地区和工业基础设施。据报道，初期安全预估报告递交时预估 ACP100 的工程设计在 2012 年底完成。中核计划在 2013 年年底获得开工权。

中国核电产业多渠道谋求铀矿话语权 “目前国际铀矿市场是买方市场，因此我国核电企业应利用这一有利时机，提前谋求铀矿价格话语权。”多位核电专家在接受上海证券报采访时表示。而据记者了解，目前我国核电企业集体谈判价格的机制正在形成。全球铀矿仍是买方市场。目前，“国际铀矿现货价格已回落至 71 美元

/ 磅，虽然这一价格不太可能下跌至上世纪 90 年代天然铀（八氧化三铀）每磅不足 10 美元的水平，但却仍有下跌空间。”一位资深专家分析说。据了解，自 2003 年以来，国际铀矿价格快速攀升，2007 年一度曾接近 140 美元关口，此后便开始回落。“铀矿国际市场价格的波动，正给我国核电发展和铀资源的战略启示。”在第十届中国国际核工业展览会上，多位业内专家向记者表示。这些专家表示，2007 年国务院批准的核电中长期发展规划，确定 2020 年我国核电装机容量建成 4000 万千瓦、在建 1800 万千瓦的目标。为保障核电的健康发展，应开源节流并举，建立长期稳定的天然铀资源保障体系。实际上，“虽然我国核电发展目标有大幅增长，成为未来世界核电最具增长性的市场。但是与世界其他国家相比，我国核电发展仍然很低。”中国核学会秘书长付满昌说。统计数据显示，目前我国已投产核电装机容量约

2 月 17 日 15 时 09 分，辽宁红沿河核电站一期 1 号机组首次并网成功，这标志着我国东北首个核电站正式进入并网调试阶段，具备发电能力。辽宁老百姓从此用上经济、清洁的核电。

“显而易见，法、日等国核电市场已经接近饱和，对铀资源的需要量相对稳定，中国当前铀资源需求量有限，铀矿正处于买方市场。”中国核电技术公司专家委员会资深专家郁祖盛说。他告诉记者，在这种情况下，正有

捷克共和国法国电力集团 EDF 努力寻求达到有国家支持的担保价格，以确保在英国的核电输出量。而这一行动启发了捷克国有电力公司，该公司正在为泰梅林核电站（未来将建的核电站项目）寻求一个类似的运作模式。“谈判只是刚刚开始。” 捷克首席财务官 Martin Novak 在本周 2 月 1 日发布的采访中这样告诉彭博社，要得到政治界的一致支持将需要长时间的磨合期。正如 EDF 失去了英国合作伙伴 Centrica 公司一样，捷克也很难找到一个合适的合作伙伴。Novak 说： “我们必须做好自己单干的打算”。与此同时，泰梅林项目的招标工作正在有序进行中。去年阿海珐被取消竞标资格，今年有资格投标的公司就只剩下俄国原子能公司和美国西屋电气公司。阿海珐对捷克取消其资格进行了上诉，但同时也有言论呼吁 1 月 18 日制定一个条款以保证竞标过程照常进行。日本日本经济贸易产业省（METI）提议对电力系统进行大修检查，并建议从下一个财政年开始将新能源的预算增加一倍。据路透社报道，这项改革分为三个阶段，最后一个阶段会在 2018-2020 年完成，届时公共事业单位将会失去电力系统的传输和分配垄断权，新的竞争机制将会引入电力行业。新的草案呼吁公用事业单位从 3 月份开始向国家提供剩余的电力以复兴国家电力市场。专家小组现在正在完善该草案。在第一个阶段，日本将建立国家电网。为了确保稳定的电力供应和公平竞争，全新的监控机制将会在 2015 年左右运行。同时， METI 宣布下一个财政年的四月伊始，新能源行业的预算高达 977 亿日元—用以实现新能源部署的最大化，而今年预算额仅有 435 亿日元。风电行业也将得到政府的大力支持，发电工程预算为 2.7 亿美元，技术开发（特别是大型离岸风电的技术开发）预算为 1.55 亿美元。研究开发高性能的太阳能电池领域将获得 1 亿美元，而地热方面将得到 1.2 亿美元的资金支持。日本据日本时报 2 月 10 日报道，日本核监管机构 NRA 开除了一位高层官员，原因是这位官员涉嫌与地区公共设施和电力公司的高官秘密召开至少 30 次会议，此举违反了管理规定。NRA 秘书处处长 Tetsuo Nayuki 私自将一份关于 Tsuruga 抗震情况的分析报告交给了日本原子能公司（JAPC），这一行为引起了民众的强烈抵触情绪。原因是该报告尚未公布于众。日本时报称，该事曝光后他就被 NRA 开除了。据报道，Tetsuo Nayuki 曾经和 JAPC 公司的高官召开了 8 次会议，和北陆电力公司召开过 7 次会议，与九州电力公司和日本东北电力公司的高官分别召开了 4 次会议。NRA 禁止本组织的官员单独参与这种会议。英国法国电力集团 EDF 继续与英国能源和气候变化部进行商讨，讨论的焦点确定位于萨默塞特郡的欣克利角核电站的电力输送的第一个 20 年的执行价格，同时在协商的问题还包括确立政府担保的工程费。 7 月份 George Osbourne 大臣公布了新的计划，即国库将花费 400 亿英镑（即 620 亿美元）投资重要基础设施建设，这个项目是在

新闻摘要

政府接受担保之后的 12 个月内开始实施。EDF 财政执行官 Thomas Piquemal 在 2 月 14 日发表的一篇文章中分析道，“对于像欣克利角核电站这样的工程来说，这个投资意义重大”。现在 EDF 正在就执行价格与英国政府进行谈判，如果达成一旦意见，我们可以就可以制定财政结构，开始寻求合作伙伴。同时，基础设施债务和担保等问题也会在于英国政府签订的合同中出现。” 美国上周，参议员 Barbara Boxer （民主派 - 加利福尼亚人士）和 Bernie Sanders （无党派人士 - 佛蒙特州人士）提出遏制温室气体排放的策略，即征收碳税并且列入立法，这一举措有利于发展核电和可再生能源。虽然这项提议没有获得党派支持，但是与他们之前提出的限额交易体系相比，征收碳税相对操作起来更简单。根据法案，释放一吨二氧化碳或甲烷征收 20 美分，没过十年增加 5.6% 的费用。 Boxer 和 Sanders 说，碳税只用于 2900 家排放温室气体的企业，包括炼油厂，天然气处理厂和煤矿加工厂。本周，从美国总统奥巴马的国情咨文演讲中得知，他已经催促国会起草立法，全线追随 2003 年 7 月提出的麦凯恩 - 利伯曼限额交易法案。当时，奥巴马是这项法案的担保人，那时他还只是伊利诺斯州的一个美国参议员。哈萨克斯坦 2013 年 1 月 13 日，哈萨克斯坦所有就地开采的铀矿都受到暴风的巨大影响，目前这些铀矿已经正常运转了。2 月 20 日哈萨克斯坦原子能公司发言人发邮件给 NIW，就民众提出的问题作出回应。公司发言人 Kristina Podshivalova 说，“铀矿开采之所以中断，是因为损坏的输电线路，但是事故并没有破坏生产设备。尽管电力故障影响了铀矿的生产，但是我们还是期待按照合同所约圆满完成工作。” 阿海珐日前透露，旗下子公司 Katco（阿海珐和哈萨克斯坦国家原子能共同分股）负责的 Tortkuduk 和 Muyunkum 工厂只停工了三天，因为他们提前准备了柴油发电机。哈萨克斯坦原子能公司的生产量到底受到暴风多大的影响，现在尚未得出具体结论。“公司财政损失可能会增加铀的价格。且原子能公司需要资金修复飓风带来的损失，”Podshivalova 写道， “输电线路和员工的宿舍都需要重新修整”。美国美国核管理委员会表示将会对美国联合能源集团运行的九哩岬核电厂和安特吉管理的菲茨帕特里克核电厂增加监管系统，这两个核电厂均位于纽约的 Scriba。核管会发言人 Diane Screnci 说，每运行 7000 小时，九哩岬核电厂菲茨帕特里克核电厂就会意外停电且停电次数超出阈值，因此需要增加额外监管。核管会声称，核电站年龄和反应堆没有任何关联。但是瑞士信贷银行本周发布的报告估算截止到 2012 年，美国反应堆舰队的中断时间持续了 5100 天，比前今年多了 1000—2000 天。银行称这一情况在 2013 年会有好转。在过去的五年里，舰队的运行费和维修费以每年平均 4.8% 的速度增长，目前花费已经达到 20 亿美元；这些项目造成了成本膨胀，其中燃料费，资本支出维修费，分别增加了 3% 和 5%，并仍然保持上涨势头。瑞士信贷银行强调金融界关注核电厂的运行期限，而运营商更关注的是成本增加及电价下滑。
