China's fourth-generation nuclear power technology has made a major breakthrough in going global

It is reported that during President Xi Jinping's visit to Saudi Arabia, Wang Shoujun, chairman of China Nuclear Construction Construction, and chairman of Saudi Nuclear Energy and Renewable Energy City signed the "Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation in Saudi High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor Project"
.
This is an important measure for China and Saudi Arabia to jointly implement the "Belt and Road" initiative, and it is also a major breakthrough
in China's fourth-generation nuclear power technology high-temperature gas-cooled reactor project to achieve "going global".

According to China's nuclear construction department, high-temperature gas-cooled reactor is the fourth generation of advanced nuclear power technology with completely independent intellectual property rights in China, which has the characteristics and advantages of inherent safety, multi-functional use and modular construction, and will not cause accidents such as core melting and large-scale radioactive release under any circumstances, and will not affect
human health and the environment.

After more than 30 years of basic research, experimental reactor operation and demonstration project construction, China has systematically mastered all the key technologies of high-temperature gas-cooled reactors and is in a leading position
in the world.
High-temperature gas-cooled reactors have become an important preferred reactor type
for China's nuclear power "going global".
