Nuclear power plants will not have much impact on the surrounding environment, and nuclear power plants will only have an impact on the surrounding environment if they leak. Taohuajiang nuclear power station has little influence on the surrounding environment.

After the Fukushima nuclear accident, the National Nuclear Safety Administration attached great importance to the possible impact of extreme external events on the safety of nuclear power plants. Not only did the seismic safety of taohuajiang nuclear power station site be rechecked, but also higher safety requirements were put forward from the design, which further improved taohuajiang nuclear power station's ability to deal with serious accidents. So it has little impact on the surrounding environment.

The environmental impacts of nuclear power plants include non-radioactive and radioactive impacts. Non-radioactive impact mainly refers to the emission of chemical substances, thermal pollution, noise and the consumption of land and water resources, similar to the impact of thermal power plants on the environment. The main impact of nuclear power plants on the environment is radioactivity.

During the operation of power plant nuclear reactor, various radionuclides will be produced due to the fission of nuclear fuel and the absorption of neutrons by structural materials, corrosion products and impurities of cooling water in the reactor. A very small amount of fission products may leak into coolant or moderator through cracks in the cladding of nuclear fuel elements and be discharged into the environment.

Extended data:

Inland nuclear power plants are safe and reliable;

"As long as nuclear safety regulations and standards are strictly observed and reasonable and effective engineering measures are taken, the safety of inland nuclear power plants in China is guaranteed. Moreover, the discharge standard of liquid effluent from inland nuclear power plants in China is stricter than that in coastal areas, and the current technology will not cause pollution, which will affect the distribution of water resources and water safety in this area. "

On September 8th, Su Gang, a senior engineer of China Nuclear Power Engineering Co., Ltd., who participated in the survey, said at the 20 15 China International Energy Summit.

According to the investigation report of China Academy of Engineering, with the acceleration of economic development in inland areas, the gap between power supply and demand will increase in the future, and the total energy consumption and per capita energy consumption will increase substantially in the future. Therefore, it is suggested that the country should develop inland nuclear power on the basis of coastal nuclear power construction in the layout of nuclear power.

"Now, the technology adopted by our country is the most advanced technology in the world, with the highest security." Wang Binghua, chairman of State Power Investment Corporation, once said that although the safety of inland nuclear power plants is still in doubt, it will definitely be released next year.

Du Xiangwan, an academician of China Academy of Engineering who holds similar views, believes that "both coastal and inland nuclear power plants must be developed on the premise of' safety first' through in-depth scientific argumentation."

Nowadays, the regulations and standards for the site selection of inland nuclear power plants in China are becoming more and more perfect, and the site selection process is rigorous and meticulous. China Nuclear Energy Industry Association began to carry out inland nuclear power research in 2008, and has successively completed reports such as Problems Needing Attention in Inland Nuclear Power Plant Sites and Suitability Analysis of Different Types of Units, and Study on Water Environmental Impact of Inland Nuclear Power Plants.

Whether inland nuclear power plants are safe or not has long been decided by other countries. According to statistics, more than half of the nuclear power plants in operation in the world are built inland. For example, there are 2 1 nuclear power plants in the Mississippi river basin, with a total installed capacity of more than 30 million kilowatts. The fact that inland nuclear power plants have been operating safely in other countries for half a century proves that the development of inland nuclear power plants is safe and secure.

Liu Baohua, director of the Nuclear Power Department of the National Energy Administration, has publicly stated that the development of nuclear power in China is generally healthy and safe. At the same time, he has been demonstrating whether to build inland nuclear power plants during the 13 th Five-Year Plan period. However, from a technical point of view, China inland nuclear power plant has adopted the third generation pressurized water reactor technology, becoming the most advanced nuclear power technology in the world.

People's Daily Online-Construction of inland nuclear power plants may be lifted next year.
