Hongyanhe Nuclear Power's Cold Source Management Experience Featured on WANO Official Website

Recently, the World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) published a feature report on its official website titled "Operational Excellence in Action: Hongyanhe transforms its Cold Source Resilience," introducing Hongyanhe Company's practical progress in ensuring cold source water intake to nuclear power peers worldwide.

Cold source safety is a critical component of the nuclear defense-in-depth system. Coastal nuclear power plants generally pay close attention to the impact of seasonal marine organism accumulation on plant water intake safety, a natural environmental challenge commonly faced by coastal nuclear power plants globally. As the first nuclear power plant in Northeast China and currently the nuclear power plant with the largest installed capacity in operation in the country, Hongyanhe Company has in recent years actively promoted the transformation of cold source management toward "proactive prevention and ecological governance," effectively mitigating the impact of marine organism accumulation on water intake safety and significantly enhancing the cold source safety assurance capability of its units.

This feature on the WANO official website serves as another external validation of the Company's commitment to "Safety First." Hongyanhe's cold source management experience directly echoes WANO's principle of "Strong Plant Operational Focus," fully reflecting the philosophy that "preventing event recurrence is not merely an improvement in technical measures, but a continuous pursuit of operational excellence in an ever-changing environment," further enhancing the Company's influence in the international nuclear safety field.
