Technology Introduction and Independent Innovation:the Development History of Nuclear Power Technology in New China
In the early 1970s,the Communist Party of China and the government made arrangements for the construction of nuclear power.Using the conversion of the driving force of national nuclear power as the dividing standard,China's nuclear power construction has gone through three stages of development.from 1970 to 1994,driven by the transformation of the nuclear industry from military to civilian use,China adopted two models of self-reliance and foreign introduction to build the Qinshan Nuclear Power Station and Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant marking the beginning of nuclear power construction.From 1994 to 2010,driven by the transformation of energy structure,China adopted the approach of"self-sufficiency and international cooperation"to continuously promote the process of nuclear power self-reliance,forming the ability of million kilowatt level nuclear power plants to autonomously develop,laying the foundation for the development of third-generation nuclear power.Since 2010,driven by the promotion of green development China has actively promoted the self-reliance of third-generation nuclear power,and has made breakthroughs in the construction of the fourth generation nuclear power demonstration projects,promoting the transformation of China's nuclear power from following and leading.From the history of China's nuclear power technology development,it can be seen that breakthroughs in core technologies must be based on independent innovation,and international scientific and technological cooperation is an important way to enhance the country's scientific and technological innovation capabilities.
