摘要(Abstract):
世界需要建设新的核电,以满足电力需求增长,取代将退役的运行机组,同时继续推进核电对环境的重要贡献。为此,研发了一系列新机型,即第三代和第三代+,以保证近期部署计划之选用,在美国至2010年,在欧洲至2015年。由美国西屋公司研发的AP1000是一个二回路百万千瓦级的压水堆核电厂,具有非能动安全特性,大大简化了电厂设计,使电厂造价和电价更具有竞争性,它是第一个获得美国核管会最终设计批准的第三代+核电设计。简单描述了AP1000的设计特性和主要技术性能,参考有关文献给出了较详细的评估。分析了中国核电在21世纪初十几年间从第二代向第三代过渡的历史性转变中面临的机遇和挑战。如果在中国建造第一座AP1000,关键因素是平衡它所带来的风险和利益。
