Jiang Feng struck while the iron was hot and said to Prime Minister Wen: "The development of domestic nuclear power technology has historical positive and negative examples as a mirror. The positive example is France, and the negative example is ourselves. Since our first introduction of French technology, precious opportunities are actually ahead, but we have never grasped them well. It has been 24 years since my country developed nuclear power. France, Canada, Russia... Foreigners have taken turns to train troops on our territory, but our progress in core technology has always been unsatisfactory and we have to pay expensive prices again and again. I believe that after the lessons of replacing the market with technology again and again, the Chinese people can wake up."

Prime Minister Wen said a long time later: "Then what do you mean?"

Jiang Feng replied: "Actually, I want to go overseas to train troops!"

"Go overseas to train?" Premier Wen Daqi said.

"The concerns about this thing in China are almost well known to everyone. I can't find a place to do experiments in China, right?" Jiang Feng replied with a smile, "So I thought I should find a place overseas to build nuclear power projects and accumulate technology. When the technology is mature, I will be moving back to China for development."

"Oh, so that's it." Premier Wen nodded, "But in that case, there will be a lot of investment and cost recovery will be more difficult."

Jiang Feng said indifferently: "Cost recovery is easy. Not only do I have to build a nuclear power plant overseas, but also a factory. I will never lose money by raising electricity with the factory."

In fact, the idea of ​​building a nuclear power plant abroad was that Jiang Feng came up when he reached that package of cooperation plan with South Africa, in order to solve the problem of power shortage faced by his plan in South Africa.

Later, as his interests in North Africa and other places gradually increased, Jiang Feng planned to expand this plan to these areas where he had significant economic interests.

With these as the basis, Jiang Feng naturally won’t worry about recovering costs.

Premier Wen then said, "Well. I understand. Anyway, your business practice is very smart. No one can lose yourself. I am sure about this. I will explain it clearly to the others about this matter so that everyone can guess it."

After the two of them finished the phone call, they felt relieved that they could finally get a job.

Global nuclear energy went through the experimental demonstration stage, the rapid development stage, the slow development stage and the beginning of recovery stage in the second half of the 20th century.

During the same period, China's nuclear power development lags behind by about 20 years.

1954-1965 was the experimental demonstration stage. During this period, a total of 38 units in the world were put into operation, which belonged to the early prototype reactor, namely the "first generation" nuclear power plant. During this period, in 1954, the former Soviet Union built the world's first nuclear power plant - a 5mw experimental graphite boiling water reactor; in 1956, the UK built the 45mw prototype natural uranium graphite gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plant; in 1957, the United States built the 60mw prototype pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant; in 1962, France built the 60mw natural uranium graphite gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plant; in 1962, Canada built the 25mw natural uranium heavy water reactor nuclear power plant.

From 1966 to 1980, it was a stage of rapid development. During this period, a total of 242 units were put into operation around the world, which belonged to the "second generation" nuclear power plant. Due to the impact of the oil crisis and the optimistic nuclear power economy, nuclear power achieved rapid development. During this period, the United States built 500-1100mw pressurized water reactors and boiling water reactors in batches, and exported them to other countries; the former Soviet Union built 1000mw graphite reactors and 440mw, 1000mw vver type pressurized water reactors; Japan and France introduced and digested the pressurized water reactors and boiling water reactor technologies of the United States; France's nuclear power generation increased by 20.4 times, and the proportion increased from 3.7% to more than 40%; Japan's nuclear power generation increased by 21.8 times, and the proportion increased from 1.3% to 20%.

Between 1981 and 2000, due to the three mile island in the United States in 1979 and the Chernobyl nuclear accident in the former Soviet Union in 1986, the world directly led to the stagnation of nuclear power, and people began to reassess the safety and economy of nuclear power. In order to ensure the safety of nuclear power plants, countries around the world have taken measures such as adding more safety facilities and stricter approval systems to ensure the safety and reliability of nuclear power plants. During this period, 26 nuclear power units were closed, and almost all of the closed nuclear power units did not reach and were far less than the original design life. Some units were even fully completed and were forcibly closed before they were put into commercial operation. For example, the Thtr30 high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plant in Germany, the 800,000-kilowatt boiling water reactor nuclear power plant in the United States, etc.

Since the 21st century, with the recovery of the world economy and the increasingly serious energy and environmental crisis, the advantages of nuclear power as a clean energy have emerged again. At the same time, after years of technological development, the safety and reliability of nuclear power have been further improved, and the development of world nuclear power has begun to enter a recovery period, and countries around the world have formulated active nuclear power development plans. The advanced light water reactor nuclear power plants developed by the United States, Europe and Japan, namely the "third generation" nuclear power plants, have made significant progress, and some have been put into commercial operations or are about to be launched.

Today, nuclear power, hydropower and coal power together form the three pillars of world energy supply and play an important role in the world's energy structure. At present, more than 30 countries and regions have built nuclear power plants. According to statistics from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), as of the end of 2004, there were 440 nuclear power plants built and put into operation in more than 30 countries and regions around the world, with an installed capacity of more than 300 billion kilowatts, accounting for more than 21% of the world's total installed power generation capacity. In addition, there are 26 nuclear power plants in the world under construction, and at least 100 nuclear power plants are being designed and prepared to be built, mainly concentrated in countries such as China, India and Russia in Asia.

From the perspective of nuclear power technology development, the technologies used in nuclear power plants built in the 1950s and 1960s are basically collectively called the first-generation nuclear power technology, and the technologies used in nuclear power plants built in the 1970s to the present are basically collectively called the second-generation nuclear power technology.

As early as the 1980s, in response to the problems of nuclear energy safety and economics that had begun to appear at that time, major nuclear energy development countries led by the United States began the research and development of third-generation nuclear energy technologies.

Although global nuclear energy entered a trough of slow development in the 1990s, these countries and corresponding nuclear power technology companies adjusted the nuclear power industry on the one hand on the one hand, and on the other hand, they still carried out extensive and in-depth research and development of third-generation nuclear energy technologies. Now, a number of third-generation advanced nuclear power plants have been formed, represented by Westinghouse Ap600/ap1000, French and German EPRR, US General Electric Abwr, Russian Vver1000, etc.

In fact, Jiang Feng is not very satisfied with the French EPR technology. Not only is the most expensive, but the technology is not the most advanced. But the actual situation is here. The American Westinghouse AAP600/AP1000 technology is naturally advanced, but they won’t sell it to you!

Fortunately, Jiang Feng does not lack technology, he just needs an opportunity to develop nuclear power.

China's nuclear power development process lags by about twenty years relatively behind the global nuclear power development process. China began to explore nuclear power in the 1970s, China's nuclear power began to start in the 1980s, and China's nuclear power entered a period of development in the 1990s, and China's nuclear power development period was at the trough of the world's nuclear power development.

The trough period of global nuclear energy development and the relatively lag behind by China's nuclear power development process, which has given China's nuclear power now a chance to basically stand on the same development starting line as global nuclear energy. The valuable experience and lessons accumulated by the development history of global nuclear energy and China's nuclear power so far are valuable assets for the further development of global nuclear energy and China's nuclear power in the new century.

For this reason, Jiang Feng felt that he should do something, engage in nuclear power technology cooperation, build nuclear power plants overseas, and cultivate a group of nuclear power technical talents.

Although I don’t have a nuclear power technical talent at hand, this is not a problem. It is probably what they are willing to borrow a group of people from China. In addition, it is not a very troublesome to recruit a group of technicians to train from scratch. If your company has favorable conditions, it is very convenient to recruit technicians from China, but also recruit technical talents from various countries.

Although China is now quite repulsive about nuclear power plants, in the long run, it is imperative to develop nuclear power potential.

Energy has become a constraint on the sustainable development of the national economy. As a main component of domestic energy, coal is not only the main source of environmental pollution, but also the frequent catastrophic work-related accidents have become the focus of social attention. The transportation of more than one billion tons of coal is also the main factor constituting my country's transportation tension.

Although hydropower is environmentally friendly, its development requires a certain cycle. The ecological and environmental problems caused by its development have also begun to attract public attention, and the resources it can develop are also limited.

Other renewable energy sources such as wind and light are difficult to scale in the short term.

Under such circumstances, it is completely necessary to accelerate the development of the nuclear power industry. Independent design, independent construction, and independent operation of large nuclear power plants are an important step that must be taken in China.

As domestic mining, smelting, concentration, component manufacturing and other capabilities have begun to take shape, nuclear power equipment manufacturing has also developed accordingly. At this time, it is entirely possible to accelerate the development of the domestic nuclear power industry if it can cooperate with international third-generation nuclear power technology.

Jiang Feng also considered the reason for choosing France as his partner.

In recent years, France's energy demand has grown slowly, with an average annual demand growth of about 1.5%. Therefore, France's nuclear power development is currently facing a dilemma. On the one hand, there is basically no demand for new nuclear power plants in the current and recent power supply market. On the other hand, after 2015, most nuclear power plants will begin to reach their lifespan and the power supply market will begin to have a large gap. For this reason, there has also been a debate on the development of French nuclear power in France, or it will start to start a new nuclear power plant now, or it will not be temporarily set.

But no matter whether you are using nuclear power projects or not, R&D cannot be stopped. Cooperating with people to carry out nuclear power plant projects is naturally the first choice. You can train troops and make money, so why not do it?
