Gold Molybdenum Co., Ltd. entered the field of key materials for a new generation of nuclear power safety technology

On September 7, 2016, Gold Molybdenum Co.
, Ltd.
(601958) reached a cooperation agreement with CGN Research Institute in Shenzhen on the commissioned research and development of new nuclear fuel cladding materials related technologies and finished products, and completed the signing of the project cooperation contract under the joint witness of Ma Jiancheng, General Manager of Gold Molybdenum Co.
, Ltd.
, and Hao Zhijian, Vice President of China General Nuclear Power Research Institute, marking that Gold Molybdenum Co.
, Ltd.
has taken a solid step
in the research and development and manufacturing of fuel rod cladding materials at the forefront of refractory metal materials applied in nuclear power.

The research on key technologies of fault-tolerant fuels is the direction of breakthroughs in the world's nuclear power field after the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan, and it is also an important opportunity
for China's nuclear fuel research and development to achieve leapfrog development.
The molybdenum alloy cladding material research and development project undertaken by Gold Molybdenum Co.
, Ltd.
is one of the important research contents in the national science and technology major special project "Research on Key Technologies of Accident Fault-tolerant Fuel", aiming to achieve a breakthrough in accident-tolerant fuel cladding materials and replace traditional nuclear fuel rod cladding materials, thereby improving the safety and economy of
nuclear power.
If the project is successful, it will also be of great significance
to promote the transformation and upgrading of gold molybdenum and high-end products.

CGN Research Institute is the main nuclear power technology R&D platform of China General Nuclear Power Group, a state-recognized national (enterprise) technology center, and a national energy nuclear power plant nuclear-grade equipment research and development (experimental) center and a national energy advanced nuclear fuel element research and development (experimental) center
.
The project of "Key Technologies for Accident-tolerant Fuels", led by China General Nuclear Power Research Institute and participated by many domestic participants, will break through key technologies such as advanced cladding materials and core design, preparation, testing, irradiation testing, and safety evaluation, and lay a solid foundation
for the development of accident-tolerant fuels with independent intellectual property rights in China.

Gold Molybdenum Co.
, Ltd.
is the third molybdenum product and technical service provider in the world and the first in Asia, deeply cultivating the molybdenum industry for more than half a century, and is the only molybdenum industry in the world that integrates molybdenum mining, mineral processing, smelting, chemical industry, deep processing and technology research and development
.
The company adheres to the business philosophy of "science and technology leadership, quality and cost determination", and is not only the leader of the formulation of national molybdenum product standards, but also a participant
in the formulation of national molybdenum industry standards and policies.
The company has the only national (enterprise) technology center, provincial engineering center, postdoctoral research workstation, enterprise academician expert workstation specializing in the research and development of molybdenum and related refractory metals, and has established long-term cooperative research and development relations with well-known domestic universities and research institutes, and is committed to the basic research and application research and development
of molybdenum and molybdenum alloy functional materials.
Among them, the project of "Key Technology and Application of High-performance Molybdenum Alloy Material Preparation" jointly completed with Xi'an Jiaotong University won the second prize of National Technical Invention Award, which realized the significant improvement of the core technology of molybdenum alloy materials and laid a solid foundation
for the continuous expansion of the application of molybdenum alloy.

Gold Molybdenum and CGN Research Institute agreed to take this project as a major and priority direction for scientific and technological cooperation between the two sides, and through this project cooperation, realize the strong combination of the advantages of both parties and help China's nuclear industry open a new chapter
