China has the capability and qualification to provide nuclear-level digital instrumentation control systems

Wang Binghua, chairman of the State Power Investment Corporation, Wei Suo, deputy general manager, assistant to the general manager of the State Power Investment Corporation, Wang Zhongtang, general manager of the State Nuclear Power, and Rick Edwards, executive vice president of Lockheed Martin, attended the press conference. The meeting was chaired by Wei Suo.

The NuPAC ​​platform, as a reactor protection system platform, is the key equipment for the digital instrument control system of nuclear power plants. It can ensure the safe shutdown of nuclear power plants under the conditions of abnormal accidents such as earthquakes and tsunamis in nuclear power plants. It is a “safeguard” for nuclear power plants. The NuPAC ​​platform has passed the administrative license of the China-US government nuclear safety regulatory agency, which indicates that the state-owned nuclear power company's own nuclear power plant possesses the capability and qualification to provide nuclear-grade digital instrumentation control systems for all types of nuclear power units in China. At the same time, it broke the long-term monopoly of internationally renowned nuclear power equipment control companies in this field, provided China's advanced nuclear power technology access to European and American markets, provided technical access, and initially established the national power market position in the international nuclear power equipment control field.

In recent years, the security of network information has attracted much attention. The highly reliable FPGA technology has been highly praised by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and is the latest generation of preferred technical solution for reactor protection systems. The NuPAC ​​platform based on FPGA technology was jointly developed by China National Nuclear Power Automation Instrumentation Co., Ltd. and the United States Martin Corporation. For the first time, FPGA technology successfully applied in aerospace and other fields was innovatively applied in commercial nuclear power plants. This technology does not depend on software running, and it realizes software hardwareization. It can effectively resist network attacks. The system architecture adopts unique modular and universal design. Its intrinsic safety features provide the highest security barrier for nuclear power plant operation.

China National Nuclear Power owns the complete intellectual property rights of NuPAC ​​platform, independently develops the source code, and can continuously improve and develop it without restriction; under the framework agreement that meets the Sino-U.S. government agreement on the peaceful use of nuclear energy, the state nuclear autonomy can be provided to the global market. Platforms and services.

The NuPAC ​​platform can be used in all reactor-type nuclear power units, various types of civil nuclear power plants, and can also be used in high-end industrial control areas such as heavy-duty gas turbines, rail transportation, and other high security and reliability requirements.

At the meeting, China National Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. signed a cooperation agreement with the National Nuclear Power Demonstration Power Plant Co., Ltd., Shandong Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. and other users. NuPAC ​​platform will be applied to Rongcheng CAP1400 demonstration power station project and Haiyang project.

Major Office of the Ministry of Science and Technology, State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, National Energy Administration, National Nuclear Safety Administration, China Nuclear Energy Industry Association, China Electricity Council, Harbin Electric Group, Dongfang Electric Corporation, Shanghai Electric Nuclear Power Group, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Tsinghua Universities, relevant academicians and experts, national power investment, national nuclear power and related leaders of related units attended the conference.
