Swedish delegation on spent fuel and low-level radioactive waste disposal visits Chinese Academy of Sciences
The Swedish nuclear power delegation invited by Tsinghua University Tianjin High-end Equipment Research Institute (referred to as "High-end Institute"), State Key Laboratory of Tribology, and New Qingyan Investment Co., Ltd. visited the Chinese Academy of Sciences on the morning of October 12, 2017. Relevant persons in charge of the Tianjin High-end Equipment Research Institute of Tsinghua University accompanied the visit and exchange; Academician Zhan Wenlong, former vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, received the delegation.
The Swedish delegation first introduced the exchanges with the high-end institute, and asked Academician Zhan Wenlong to support and help the cooperation between the two parties. Academician Zhan Wenlong introduced the progress of the pilot project ADS undertaken by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, including the site selection and the second phase of the project in Huizhou City, Guangdong Province; and the new pilot project being launched. The relevant person in charge of our institute introduced the basic situation of the construction process, organizational structure, and scientific research results of the high-end institute, and expressed the desire to continue in-depth cooperation in the two pilot projects undertaken by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Finally, the Swedish delegation introduced Sweden's technological advantages in the geological disposal of spent fuel and the disposal of medium and low-level radioactive waste, as well as the results of the visit with the high-end hospital.
Nuclear power spent fuel and medium and low-level geological storage technology is the shortage and key technology of nuclear power radioactive waste disposal in China. At the same time, it has the characteristics of multi-discipline and technology intersection, high reliability requirements, long research and development cycle and high investment demand. Sweden SKB company in the field of research and development for 40 years, the cumulative investment 40 billion, engineering applications in the forefront of the world. China's R & D foundation in this field is very weak. The introduction, digestion, absorption and application of this technology will fill the domestic gap and produce huge social benefits and economic value.
