China's nuclear fuel recovery can be reused for 3,000 years

China Internet TV News (China News): Chinese scientists have made major technological breakthroughs in nuclear research: the recovery of uranium and thorium (with "bu" sound) materials from nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors. And if the bismuth material can be recycled on the power reactor, it means that under the existing nuclear power scale, China's proven uranium resources can only be used for about 30,000 years, which can be used for about 3,000 years.

The technical name for this technology is called "Power Pile / Spent Fuel / Aftertreatment Technology". According to experts, nuclear power plants generate electricity by releasing fission reactions in nuclear reactors. It is the same as the coal-fired power station: when the nuclear fuel cannot maintain a certain amount of power, it needs to be replaced. These replaced nuclear fuel assemblies are called spent fuel. In layman's terms, spent fuel is similar to “cinder” in thermal power stations, but it is definitely not “cinder” but “big baby”.

Because nuclear power in today's world only burns about 3% to 4% of nuclear fuel, it can't maintain its rated power. These nuclear fuels also produce new nuclear fuels during the combustion process.

Wang Jian, chief engineer of the post-treatment pilot project of China National Nuclear Corporation: At this time, we need to post-process the nuclear fuel, that is, through a series of chemical processes, the nuclear fuel that has not been burned by the nuclear power plant, and the newly produced nuclear fuel, Made into the fuel components needed for our nuclear power.

The principle of recycling sounds simple and the operation is extremely difficult. How to cut, separate, extract, purify, etc. these components that have strong nuclear radiation and are fatal to the human body? Every step is a problem. After 24 years of scientific research, Chinese scientists have finally broken through the complete technical system after repeated experiments.

Wang Jian, chief engineer of the post-processing pilot project of China National Nuclear Corporation: It is entirely a facility that is designed, built and developed independently by our country.

Wang Junfeng, the chief commander of the post-processing pilot project of China National Nuclear Corporation: We last time (test), we produced qualified uranium products and antimony products, so we said that we succeeded.

Sun Qin, general manager of China National Nuclear Corporation: In the nuclear fuel industry, we are one of the few countries that can form a nuclear fuel cycle. Therefore, we will be able to have both the international level of technology and technology. The right can even play a guiding role.

Previously, France, the United Kingdom, Russia, Japan, India and other countries have mastered the power reactor spent fuel reprocessing technology, but each country's core technology system is strictly confidential. China's nuclear fuel has been developed for more than 20 years. At present, there are 13 nuclear power units built. Each year, a large number of spent fuel components are produced. There is only one way to save the technology before it is mastered.
