Lifting of Steel Liner Module 1 for Unit 4 of Guangdong Taipingling Nuclear Power Plant Successfully Completed

A key construction milestone was reached at the Guangdong Taipingling nuclear power construction site, where the 2,000-tonne crawler crane of CNNC Machinery Engineering precisely completed the lifting and positioning of Steel Liner Module 1 for Unit 4 of Guangdong Taipingling Nuclear Power Plant. The entire lifting operation lasted 2 hours and 12 minutes, with smooth and orderly lifting, lowering, and slewing movements, and strict control over safety and quality throughout the process, marking the official commencement of main structure construction for the nuclear island reactor building. As the core barrier of the reactor containment, the steel liner module safeguards the nuclear safety defense line, and modular lifting is also a key technical step in the batch construction of Hualong One reactors. The steel liner module lifted this time integrates the base plate in one formed piece, featuring a large diameter, thin shell wall, and relatively low stiffness...

CGN Dasheng NDT Helps Power Batteries Pass Quality Tests Smoothly

News of new energy vehicle fires occasionally surfaces, and the culprit is almost always the power battery. To fundamentally address this industry-wide problem, the mandatory national safety standard "Safety Requirements for Traction Battery of Electric Vehicles" will officially take effect on July 1, 2026, ushering in the strictest examination the battery industry has ever faced. Facing high-standard testing requirements, CGN Dasheng has deployed its full suite of non-destructive testing capabilities, leveraging precise and comprehensive non-destructive flaw detection technologies to help the industry deliver a high-standard safety answer sheet. The internal structure of a power battery is wound layer upon layer, resembling a Swiss roll. During production, subtle defects such as electrode foil wrinkles, metal debris contamination, and misalignment between positive and negative electrodes may occur. These "minor issues" can evolve into overheating,...

Unit 3 of the Huaneng Changjiang Nuclear Power Phase II project—Hainan Province's first "Hualong One" nuclear power project—has been connected to the grid and is generating electricity

On August 1, Unit 3 of the Huaneng Changjiang Nuclear Power Phase II Project, the first large-scale pressurized water reactor nuclear power project under controlling construction by China Huaneng Group Co., Ltd. and the first "Hualong One" nuclear power project in Hainan Province, was connected to the grid, generating Huaneng's first kilowatt-hour of pressurized water reactor nuclear power. This marks that the unit has officially gained the capability to transmit power to the grid, taking a key step toward the goal of commercial operation. The project plans to build two 1.2-million-kilowatt nuclear power units, equipped with China's independently developed third-generation pressurized water reactor nuclear power technology, the "Hualong One." It vigorously promotes the independent design of nuclear power and the localization of equipment manufacturing, and adopts a safety design concept combining active and passive systems, which can significantly improve the reliability and safety of the nuclear power plant. ...

Adani Group Enters Nuclear Power, India's Energy Landscape May See Transformation

The Adani Group plans to triple its power generation capacity by 2035, becoming the largest private power producer. Currently, feasibility studies at Bina and Nigari are progressing intensively, and the CEO of Adani Power has also hinted at related information. Although no official announcement has been made, the company has clearly stated that it is actively evaluating the relevant possibilities. At present, only two state-owned enterprises in India produce nuclear power: the Nuclear Power Corporation and NTPC Limited. The former plans to develop 30 GW of nuclear capacity, while the latter is also preparing to develop 30 GW. Adani Power has an operating capacity of over 3.2 GW and is currently conducting evaluations...
