Unanimously Approved! China's First ISO International Standard in the Field of Fusion Fueling Officially Released

On August 10 local time, the international standard ISO 19991:2026, "Fusion Technology — Experimental Magnetic Confinement Fusion Facilities — Ultrasonic Molecular Beam Injection Fueling Technology for Fusion Devices," formulated by China, was officially released. Earlier, during the final voting process, all 12 countries, including France, Germany, and Russia, cast affirmative votes. This is the first ISO international standard in the field of fusion fueling and the second ISO international standard in the fusion field led by the Southwestern Institute of Physics (SWIP) under the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC). Ultrasonic molecular beam injection fueling technology is a key fuel supply technology for controlled nuclear fusion devices. This technology, an advanced fusion fueling technology originally developed by China, forms high-speed, directional molecular beams through adiabatic gas expansion. It features high speed, strong directionality, relatively high fueling efficiency, and low particle recycling, significantly enhancing the fuel control capability of fusion devices. It has been applied to more than ten magnetic confinement fusion experimental devices both domestically and internationally.

Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Plant Equipment Criticality Classification System Goes Live

Recently, the equipment criticality classification system at Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Plant was officially put into operation, marking a new stage in equipment classification management transitioning from traditional offline spreadsheet management to online systematic management, and opening a new chapter in digital management. Equipment classification is the foundation of equipment reliability management. To optimize production management and maintenance resource allocation, and to ensure the safe, stable, and economical operation of nuclear power units, nuclear power plants need to implement classified management of equipment, making plant maintenance resources more focused on critical equipment that affects the safe and stable operation of units, and optimizing equipment maintenance costs. However, the traditional equipment classification management model faces many pain points. The classification work involves 740,000 equipment functional locations, with a huge and scattered amount of data, relying on manual maintenance; the synchronization of equipment classification data with SAP and CCM system data lags behind, and the approval of the classification process relies on offline circulation, resulting in long cycles and difficult version management.
