SPIC Haiyang Nuclear Power Unit 3 Hot Functional Test Successfully Completed
At 17:30 on August 13, the hot functional test (HFT) of Unit 3 at SPIC Shandong Nuclear Power Haiyang Nuclear Power Plant was successfully completed, laying a solid foundation for subsequent fuel loading and first grid connection of the unit. ▲Aerial view of Shandong Nuclear Power Haiyang Nuclear Power Plant. The hot functional test is the most critical non-nuclear comprehensive verification phase before nuclear fuel loading, often referred to as the "final exam" or "mock exam" before a nuclear power plant officially generates electricity. By executing a series of tests simulating actual operating conditions within the pressure and temperature ranges of normal reactor operation, it comprehensively verifies the reliability of nuclear island and conventional island systems and equipment under hot operating conditions, ensuring that relevant parameters meet design requirements. ▲On July 4, during the normal residual heat removal system (RNS) test at the heat-up platform of the hot functional test...
