    Recently, Greg Clark, Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, said that progress in the UK on China's third-generation nuclear power technology Hualong 1 is good
    .

    According to the official website of China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGNPC), during the 9th China-UK Economic and Financial Dialogue held in Beijing, CGN Chairman He Yu met with Clark and his entourage, and the two sides exchanged
    views on the UK nuclear power project, Hualong One Universal Design Review (GDA), China-UK supply chain cooperation, renewable energy development and other related matters.

    During the exchange, Clark made the above statement, and said that "the British side is very satisfied with the support and cooperation of CGN, and the participation of British enterprises has also helped the smooth development of GDA".

    Clark also said that the British government attaches great importance to the cooperation between CGN and British supply chain enterprises over the past decade, and hopes that Chinese and British enterprises will continue to expand supply chain cooperation
    .

    He Yu said that CGN hopes to bring more of its decades of nuclear power construction experience to the UK's EPR (French third-generation advanced pressurized water reactor nuclear power technology) project, and is confident that it will work with EDF to control the cost and construction
    period of the Hinkley Point C project.

    Clark said the transition to clean energy is a common challenge
    facing the international community.
    In this regard, China and the UK already have a solid foundation for cooperation, that is, the Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant project in the UK
    .
    He said it was the largest infrastructure investment project
    in all of Europe.

    As the UK's first new nuclear power project in more than 20 years, Hinkley Point C signifies the restart
    of the UK nuclear power industry.
    Located in Somerset, UK, the project is jointly funded by a consortium led by CGN and EDF, and will provide reliable, low-carbon electricity
    to about 6 million customers in the UK.

    On September 29, 2016, China, the United Kingdom and France signed a package cooperation agreement in London on new nuclear power projects in the UK, confirming CGN's shareholding investment in Hinkley Point C and Weathersville C in the UK, and the holding investment in the Bradwell B Project (hereinafter referred to as the "BRB Project").

    Among them, Hinkley Point C will adopt EPR technology, and Bradwell B project will adopt Hualong No.
    1 technology solution, which is the first time that China's independent nuclear power technology has entered the developed country market
    .

    The latest progress of the BRB project is that on December 11, local time in the UK, the project officially started the geological exploration work of the site adaptability stage, which is the first "ground breaking" of the BRB site and is a key step
    towards development and construction.

    The BRB project is located in Essex, in the southeast of the United Kingdom, facing the English Channel and in close proximity to the Bradwell A nuclear power project
    , which is being decommissioned.
    According to Zheng Dongshan, General Manager of CGN UK, the main task at this stage is to obtain test data related to seismic analysis of BRB project sites, such as seismic wave refraction, micro-motion, seismic wave reflection, etc
