On October 11, the Chinese Nuclear Society Forum (Fourth Session) on “Advanced Thermal Hydraulics” was held at the Qihang Activity Center of Harbin Engineering University.
The participating experts and representatives jointly discussed future key scientific and technological R&D and breakthrough directions in thermal hydraulics for advanced nuclear energy systems, and promoted innovative, intelligent, and green development of nuclear reactor thermal-hydraulic technology.
LIU Jing, Vice Administrator of the China Atomic Energy Authority (CAEA); XIN Feng, Deputy General Manager of China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC); YIN Jingwei, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Nuclear Society; and LIU Jianqiao, Vice Chairman and Secretary-General of the Chinese Nuclear Society, attended the opening ceremony and delivered speeches.
Academician YE Guoan, ZHANG Di, and CHEN Yanfeng of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; Academician LEI Zengguang, LIN Feng, and SU Guanghui of the Chinese Academy of Engineering; TANG Chuanbao, President of the Nuclear Power Institute of China; WANG Jinjun, Deputy Director of the Department of Systems Engineering of the CAEA; and CHEN Liang of the Science and Technology Innovation Department of CNNC attended the opening ceremony. GAO Keli, Deputy Secretary-General of the Chinese Nuclear Society, presided over the opening ceremony.
LIU Jing raised four requirements for the high-quality development of thermal hydraulics: First, promote the deep integration of scientific research and engineering applications, while balancing basic scientific research and the solution of engineering problems; Second, grasp the characteristics of new heat transfer media, take major projects as a guide, deepen thermal-hydraulic research, and support the R&D of advanced reactors; Third, promote the coordinated layout of research breakthroughs and platform construction; Fourth, advance the integrated development of education, science and technology, and talent, and establish a university-enterprise joint talent cultivation mechanism.
XIN Feng noted that in recent years, CNNC has achieved a series of results in thermal hydraulics and made landmark progress in key thermal-hydraulic technologies for multiple cutting-edge nuclear energy systems. The group will continue to optimize its research system, play its role as a source of original technology, and join hands with all parties to explore new principles, technologies, and methods in thermal hydraulics, contributing wisdom and strength to support the high-quality development of the nuclear energy industry.
LIU Jianqiao expressed the hope that the participating experts would conduct in-depth discussions and exchanges on topics such as theoretical innovation and technological breakthroughs in advanced thermal hydraulics, and work together to bring China’s advanced thermal-hydraulic research to a new level. The Society will continue to build high-level platforms for academic exchange and collaborative innovation, support original innovation and industry-university-research collaborative development in thermal hydraulics, and make new and greater contributions to promoting the high-level development of China’s nuclear science and technology.
YIN Jingwei hoped that research institutions, universities, and enterprises would take this forum as an opportunity to continue to deepen industry-university-research-application collaborative innovation, jointly overcome key core technologies in thermal hydraulics, cultivate and expand the contingent of leading talents in the nuclear industry, and contribute to national development.
At the release ceremony of the 2024 China Nuclear Science and Technology Development Report, YE Qizheng, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, delivered remarks online. He voiced the hope that the report would enhance society’s understanding of the nuclear cause, build consensus in the industry, encourage nuclear science and technology workers to scale the heights of science, and contribute to safeguarding national energy security and achieving high-level scientific and technological development.
LIU Jing, XIN Feng, LIU Jianqiao, Academician YE Guoan, Academician ZHANG Di, Academician CHEN Yanfeng, Academician LEI Zengguang, Academician LIN Feng, Academician SU Guanghui, WANG Jinjun, CHEN Liang, TANG Chuanbao, and YIN Jingwei jointly released the report and presented copies to student representatives.
The plenary report session was moderated, respectively, by Academician LEI Zengguang, Academician YE Guoan, and HUANG Yanping, Chief Scientist of CNNC. Academician SU Guanghui, HUANG Yanping, DU Shuhong, Director of the Science and Technology Committee of China Nuclear Power Engineering Co., Ltd., Professor SHUAI Yong of Harbin Institute of Technology, Professor ZHANG Xinrong of Peking University, Professor TAN Sichao of Harbin Engineering University, Professor SHI Lei of Tsinghua University, Professor LIU Xiaojing of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Professor PAN Liangming of Chongqing University, Professor ZHANG Yangjun of Tsinghua University, and ZHANG Donghui, Chief Scientist of the Nuclear Technology Support Center, delivered plenary reports respectively.
The Chinese Nuclear Society Forum is a high-end thematic strategic forum in the nuclear field hosted by the Chinese Nuclear Society. It has successively held three thematic forums on advanced nuclear power, advanced nuclear chemical engineering, and advanced uranium resource technology. The forum facilitates exchanges and discussions on cutting-edge technologies and industrial development in the nuclear field, providing expert intellectual support for scientific and technological innovation in the nuclear energy field and national nuclear industry planning.
