Nuclear Power "Golden Man"

Like the 6 million students this year, employment is what Zhang Xiang (pseudonym) is most worried about right now. thing. However, he is not worried about finding a job, but worrying about "which company to go to."

Zhang Xiang is a third-year postgraduate student majoring in reactor engineering at the Nuclear Energy Institute of Tsinghua University and will graduate in half a year. Now he is holding invitation letters from China National Nuclear Corporation, China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group and a nuclear power equipment manufacturing plant in Northeast China, and is hesitating.

"Salary is no longer the main issue now," Zhang Xiang did not disclose the salary offered to him by the two state-owned enterprises, but one of his classmates said that now graduates from Tsinghua University are working in the nuclear power industry with an annual salary of 100,000 is just a starting number.

The "main problem" that makes Zhang Xiang very conflicted is: his mentor is from China National Nuclear Corporation and strongly recommended him to work at China National Nuclear Corporation, but the price offered by China General Nuclear Power Corporation is more attractive, and China General Nuclear Power Corporation has also entrusted the school with employment The head of the department came to talk to Zhang Xiang and strongly invited him to "come over."

New prey for headhunting companies

Zhang Xiang, who lives in Hubei, was admitted to the Tsinghua Institute of Nuclear Energy in 2006 and is currently working on a project at a research institute with his mentor. This research institute is affiliated with China National Nuclear Corporation and has been dealing with nuclear reactors for many years. Therefore, students who graduate from here have more practical experience and are more in demand.

As a result, this research institute located in a remote suburb of Beijing could not avoid headhunting companies.

Zhang Xiang was introduced to CGN by Lao Wang, a “hunter” from a headhunting company in Beijing. Zhang Xiang's major is reactor technology, which is indispensable in the construction of nuclear power plants. Therefore, in addition to several major nuclear power companies, many upstream and downstream nuclear power construction supporting companies also covet such talents.

“Our headhunting team originally did not do business with graduates, and we have never been involved in the nuclear power industry. In the past, we only hired mid-level and senior management talents with more than 5 years of experience. But now that we are boosting domestic demand, there are people everywhere across the country. When building nuclear power plants, what is most lacking are these front-line operators and architects." Lao Wang said that they are also responsible for recruiting people in financial management and mechanical and electrical fields for some nuclear power companies, nuclear power construction companies, and nuclear power equipment manufacturing companies.

At a time when all walks of life are laying off employees for the winter, the nuclear power investment boom has given headhunting companies a new bonanza. Many headhunting companies are doing everything they can to squeeze into the nuclear power industry through connections.

Despite Lao Wang’s repeated persuasion, Zhang Xiang still cautiously said, “Let’s see and then talk.” In this small research institute, there are only more than 30 graduate students graduating this year. Like Zhang Xiang, they have also received invitation letters from many companies.

Tsinghua University, North China Electric Power University, Harbin Institute of Technology and other universities that offer nuclear energy majors, the employment situation of nuclear energy majors this year is also very good, and most students who have not yet graduated have been booked in advance.

CGN has the habit of going to Tsinghua to recruit every year, but this time, they started the recruitment very early. They had already gone to Tsinghua for one round of recruitment in April of the beginning of the year, and in December they issued a supplementary recruitment notice in Tsinghua. , involving a wider range of nuclear energy majors, and almost all students from Tsinghua Institute of Nuclear Energy and Department of Nuclear Engineering can apply.

A newly admitted student said that CGN’s recruitment is like a revolving door, with full preparation and quick execution. "In order to recruit people, their human resources staff are exhausted. Every time they receive an email from the company, they are sent at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. Many of our students here have turned off their phones and gone to sleep. The phone notifications from CGN cannot come in, so they send text messages instead." , if there is still no confirmation, they will call again and again until every student confirms to come for the interview."

The "market" for nuclear energy students from Shanghai Jiaotong University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, and North China Electric Power is also hot. A Northeastern University student was happy to share his and his classmates’ salaries at the Nuclear Energy Talent Forum: There are 36 people in the class, 3 are going to graduate school, 4 are going to China National Nuclear Power Corporation, 3 are going to China Guangdong Nuclear Power Plant, and 3 are going to Huizhou Power Plant and other companies. 26 people.

Among them, CGN promised that the entry-level monthly salary after tax would be around 6,000-7,000, and with bonuses it would be around 120,000 a year.

The rise and fall of nuclear majors

Nuclear power majors were not so happy.

In the early 1990s, the nuclear major experienced the impact of the military-to-civilian transition of the nuclear industry and the market-oriented reform of universities. Nuclear majors in many universities have been "closed and transferred", and only a few such as Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, and Harbin Institute of Technology are left offering this unpopular course.

The oil crisis and environmental protection strategy in the early 20th century led to the recovery of China's nuclear power industry. But at this time, a talent gap has emerged - the above-mentioned universities only train about 400 undergraduates majoring in nuclear power each year, far less than the thousands of undergraduates required to put two nuclear power units into operation each year.

Therefore, around 2005, many colleges and universities restarted the competition for setting up nuclear energy majors and cultivating talents. When Zhang Xiang first entered Tsinghua in 2002, the School of Nuclear Energy had only a few majors and less than 300 students. Now, Tsinghua has a School of Nuclear Energy and an Engineering Physics Department, with more than 10 classes in nuclear energy majors, training every year. Thousands of people.

Even some secondary vocational schools now offer courses related to nuclear power.

Now, with the central government’s 4 trillion yuan economic stimulus plan, nuclear power projects with huge investments and long industrial chains have become the new darling of the local economy. Nuclear power plants in Yangjiang and Taishan in Guangdong, Haiyang in Shandong, and Sanmen in Zhejiang have recently started construction or come online.

As a result, in addition to the two giants CNNC and China Guangdong Nuclear Power, Shandong, Guangdong, Fujian and other places that are developing nuclear power projects have also joined the recruitment army.

The approval cycle for nuclear power projects is usually very long. Some projects can apply for pre-approval and start construction first. Therefore, many local nuclear power projects have already started construction in the early stages of operation, and there is an urgent need for nuclear power talents. Even provinces that have not yet obtained nuclear power passes are already preparing talent reserves.

Some power equipment manufacturing companies such as China Power Investment Corporation are also vigorously expanding their workforce to prepare upstream and downstream equipment such as nuclear power motors and turbines.

“The safety of nuclear power determines that the production of nuclear power equipment has very high requirements,” Lao Wang explained. The production of nuclear power equipment requires full-process monitoring, and those with full-process monitoring qualifications must have a certificate issued by the Nuclear Safety Administration. Qualification certificates, such talents are generally trained by nuclear power equipment manufacturers themselves after recruiting from universities.

In addition, competition in nuclear power technology is also one of the driving forces for various nuclear power companies to recruit talents.

The recently launched domestic nuclear power projects use third-generation nuclear energy technology. There are two options: AP1000 technology from the United States and EPR technology from Europe. The Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in Guangdong, which is undergoing preliminary work, will adopt EPR technology, and the Sanmen Nuclear Power Plant in Zhejiang will introduce AP1000 technology.

Compared with the widely used second-generation nuclear power, the third-generation AP1000 is only a mature technology and has not yet built an actual power station. Therefore, there is a saying in the nuclear power industry that "whoever turns AP1000 into a power station will leave." "At the forefront of nuclear power in the world".

Under different nuclear power technologies, the principles of safety supervision are completely different. Therefore, as China moves toward third-generation nuclear power, its original operator and safety supervision talent experience needs to be re-trained. The National Nuclear Power Technology Corporation, established in 2007 to introduce, digest and absorb AP1000 technology, also appeared on the battlefield for nuclear power talents this time.

The Legend of Operator’s Annual Salary

Faced with numerous recruiters, students majoring in nuclear power also have their own career plans.

China National Nuclear Corporation is the cradle of national nuclear power talents. There are many talents, but the salary is average. Many people go there to get a Beijing household registration. Students who want to engage in nuclear power research will choose the China Institute of Atomic Energy, a subsidiary of CNNC.

China Guangdong Nuclear Power was originally separated from China National Nuclear Corporation because it designed and built mostly civilian projects, had abundant funds, and received generous benefits.

“China General Nuclear Power Corporation is introducing European EPR technology. Many students go there hoping to go abroad, but basically those sent abroad are those with several years of design experience and no newcomers will be sent.

"A classmate of Zhang Xiang said.

In order to compete with CNNC in terms of design capabilities, CGN established the China Nuclear Power Technology Research Institute in 2006. The pay here is also good, you can learn real things, and it's just work. The place is too remote.

The other company is the National Nuclear Power Technology Company, which was established just last year. It has been established for a short time and lacks talents, so it is currently recruiting people. Many students who go to this company are optimistic about the prospects of AP1000 technology. After all, the first-generation nuclear power workers who have mastered the third-generation AP1000 nuclear energy technology will be more valuable in the future.

In addition to these three major nuclear power companies, many students are also willing to work in nuclear power plants. At present, the most lacking thing in the nuclear power field is operators in the nuclear power plant to manage nuclear reactors.

“It takes 8 to 10 years to train a qualified nuclear power plant main control room operator. "Wang Binghua, chairman of the State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation, said that in addition to rigorous training, a nuclear power main control room operator also needs 3,000 hours of practical operations before officially taking up the job. Therefore, most of the operators of US nuclear power plants are submarine service personnel.

The operator's exam lasts for 8 hours, and the operator and senior operator trained through huge training costs are finally awarded a license by the National Nuclear Safety Administration. "Golden Man".

"The current annual salary of an operator is more than 100,000 yuan and nearly 200,000 yuan. Zhang Xiang seemed to have understood everything clearly, "And the salary for senior operators and captains at higher levels is even more sky-high." "He heard the legend that "a commander or captain earns millions a year."

Of course, not everyone is optimistic.

Li Ganjie, director of the National Nuclear Safety Administration, previously When giving a lecture to students majoring in nuclear energy at Tsinghua University, he said that with so many colleges and universities majoring in nuclear power in a short period of time, when these students graduate in a few years, will the employment situation in nuclear power still be as good as it was in China? When joining the WTO, colleges and universities trained a large number of financial professionals, leading to today's surplus.
