WANO Peer Review Successfully Conducted for Hainan Nuclear Power Units 1 and 2

From July 13 to 31, the World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) conducted a three-week operational peer review of Hainan Nuclear Power Units 1 and 2. The review involved 22 industry experts from 5 countries and regions, who carried out a comprehensive and systematic assessment of Hainan Nuclear Power across ten core areas including organizational management, operations, maintenance, and technology, through various methods such as on-site observations, personnel interviews, and document reviews. In addition, the expert team conducted a special evaluation of the plant's nuclear safety culture status and the implementation of Significant Operating Experience Reports (SOER).

At the review summary meeting, the review team announced the assessment results and provided professional recommendations for the plant's continuous improvement. The expert team recognized three innovative technological achievements developed by Hainan Nuclear Power: the direct-reading electronic lens dosimeter, the automatic carbon brush grinding device, and the dynamic measurement technology for subcritical control rod worth. These mature practices will be promoted as industry strengths to WANO member plants.

WANO assessments are conducted by professional review teams composed of senior nuclear energy experts from member organizations worldwide, who identify areas for improvement in plant safety and reliability through systematic verification while simultaneously identifying advanced management practices that can serve as references for the entire industry. During the assessment, employees in various positions across the company had the opportunity to engage in in-depth face-to-face exchanges and mutual learning with international experts.

This WANO assessment serves not only as a comprehensive and systematic verification of Hainan Nuclear Power's nuclear safety control and full-process unit operation management, but also provides authoritative professional guidance for the company to refine its management systems and standardize operational processes, driving the company's operational management to continuously benchmark against world-class standards.
