What is the breakthrough in nuclear fuel research?

It is reported that on June 8, Xu, deputy director of the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the new accelerator originally proposed by the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences drives the advanced nuclear energy system. The system can improve the utilization rate of uranium resources from "less than 1%" to "more than 95%", the treated nuclear waste is less than 4% of spent fuel, and the radiation life is shortened from several hundred thousand years to about 500 years.

China independently completed the advanced nuclear energy system driven by accelerator.

The safe disposal of spent fuel (nuclear fuel used in reactors) is a common challenge faced by the international nuclear energy community. Spent fuel produced by traditional nuclear reactors can only be reused after spent fuel treatment, and the high-radiation nuclear waste produced can only be permanently buried or stored in metal tanks. This time, the safe disposal scheme of spent fuel researched by China, also known as accelerator-driven subcritical system (ADS), is internationally recognized as the most promising disposal scheme of spent fuel since the early 1990s.

All these have laid a foundation for exploring a more efficient and safer nuclear fuel cycle system, and it is expected that nuclear fission will become a sustainable, safe and clean strategic energy source in the next ten thousand years. At the press conference that day, researcher Xu Hushan, deputy director of the Institute of Modern Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that developing clean, efficient, safe and reliable nuclear fission energy is a strategic choice to solve the future energy supply and ensure the sustainable development of China's economy and society.

The investment target can focus on the nuclear power sector leader:

Taihai Nuclear Power (42.03 -0.05%, Diagnostic Unit): It is a core nuclear power equipment provider.

Liu Ying Co., Ltd. (14.04 +0.2 1%, diagnostic unit): The first neutron absorbing material board production line in China was built.

Shanghai Electromechanical Co., Ltd. (20.23 -0.93%, consulting unit): mainly produces complete sets of lifting equipment for nuclear power, and independently won the bid for Qinshan Nuclear Power Phase III 7 million nuclear power project. As one of the largest comprehensive equipment manufacturing groups in China, the company has formed the core competitive advantages of complete sets of equipment, general contracting of projects and providing customers with modern comprehensive services.

CNNC Technology (20.70 +2.32%, consulting unit): As the main valve manufacturer of nuclear power under CNNC, the beneficiary countries have vigorously developed nuclear power, and the company is committed to creating a new growth pole for nuclear power valves. In addition, valves for nuclear and chemical industry are another outstanding business of the company, mainly used in nuclear fuel processing and other aspects.
