IYNC BULLETIN International Youth Nuclear Congress IYNC BULLETIN International Youth Nuclear Congress March 2014 www.iync.org Asia Going Nuclear Editorial Bulletin: Asia Going Nuclear Dear IYNC community, The nuclear industry is growing in Asia where 49 nuclear power reac- tors are under construction. One of the main objectives of the 2012- 2014 term IYNC officers was to develop the IYNC network in this region. Besides our historic partners such as South Korea and Japan, IYNC has made great progress in extending its network to India and China. Those two countries have started their local YGN (Young Generation in Nu- clear) with the help of IYNC and are willing to be involved more in our activities and to take a significant place in the IYNC congress. China joined the IYNC Board last August. To start the cooperation, an IYNC delegation visited the country in November. Don’t miss the report of this historic trip in this bulletin. I’m currently working on the AP1000 construction site in Sanmen, China. It’s a great challenge and a unique opportunity. The nuclear industry offers great experience worldwide. Don’t miss them and travel while you’re young! Asia will also have an important contribution in our next congress in Burgos on July 6-12 2012. Top executives from China and South Korea have already confirmed their presence and we are close to confirm the presence of important speakers from Saoudi Arabia and India. Besides that, other important top executive have confirmed their presence to the congress like Mike Weightman (former ONR HM Chief Inspector), Ken Ellis (WANO Managing Director), Alejo Vidal-Quadras Roca (Europe- an Parlement Vice-President) and Danny Roderick (President and CEO of Westinghouse). Registrations are now open for Burgos. Please check our website iync.org/iync2014 and register if you don’t want to miss this unique opportunity to broaden your international network.

March 2014 / IYNC Bulletin 4 Intro Chinese Trip China joined the IYNC Board last August. To start the cooperation, an IYNC delegation visited the country on November 16-23 2013. The trip was organized with the help of the Chinese Nuclear Society. The IYNC delegation had the chance to travel to Beijing, Sanmen, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Taishan. Meetings were organized with the recently funded Chinese Young Generation in Nu- clear but also with youth groups of companies such as SMNPC, SNPEC, SNERDI and CGN. Techni- cal visits were organized to Sanmen AP1000 and Taishan EPR construction sites as well as Daya Bay NPP. The IYNC2014 Executive Committee also held its quarterly meeting in Beijing. This is an important step in the history IYNC when we consider the growing nuclear industry in this booming country. IYNC is expecting great results from this trip such as Chinese participants and speakers to IYNC2014 as well as a candidature from China to organize the congress in the future. It was also an unforgettable experience for the young members of the IYNC delegations to discover the Chinese nuclear industry, make public presentations and have meetings in a dif- ferent environment they are used to. Here is the agenda of the week: Sunday, November 17th Location – Beijing • Introduction to China: culture and business • IYNC2014 Ex-com Teleconference Monday, November 18th Location – Beijing • Meeting with Chinese YGN (CNS, CNPE, NPIC, CGNPC, SNPTC, CIAE and Xian, Shanghai, Tsinghua universities) at CNPE (CNNC) and visit of CNPE Tuesday, November 19th Location – Sanmen • Visit Sanmen NPP (AP1000 project) • Meeting with SMNPC youth Wednesday, November 20th Location – Shanghai • Visit the State Nuclear Power Engineering Corporation (SNPEC) youth Thursday, November 21st Location – Shanghai • Visit the SNPTC Research Institute (SNERDI) Friday, November 22nd Location – Shenzhen • Meeting with CGNPC and Daya Bay NPP Visit Saturday, November 23rd Location – Tai Shan • Visit Tai Shan + IYNC presentation March 2014 / IYNC Bulletin 5 IYNC Delegation Nicolas ANCIAUX Raquel OCHOA IYNC President IYNC2014 General Chair Senior Engineer Nuclear Engineer at Westinghouse (China) at Gas Natural Fenosa Engineering (Spain) Alexander TSIBULYA Denis JANIN IYNC Founder IYNC2014 Technical and First President Program Chair Partner at Radiant Capital Nuclear Engineer at E.ON Partners (US-Russia) (Germany) Melissa CRAWFORD Shengke ZHI IYNC Vice President IYNC2014 Plenary Nuclear Instrumentation & Panel Chair and Controls Engineer Deputy Business Manager at Siemens 2009–2013 at Clean Energy, AMEC (Germany) (UK) Ekaterina RYABIKOVSKAYA Shin-etsu SUGAWARA IYNC Grants Committee IYNC2010 Participant Secretary Research Scientist at Managing Editor CRIEPI (Japan) at Rosatom Newspaper March 2014 / IYNC Bulletin 6 Nuclear Power in China Tianwan Nuclear Power Station in Lianyungang city, Jiangsu province, China (Image: Atomstroyexport) Mainland China has 20 nuclear power reactors Nuclear power has an important role, especial- in operation, 28 under construction, and more ly in the coastal areas remote from the coal- about to start construction. fields and where the economy is developing Additional reactors are planned, including rapidly.

  • Nuclear Energy and Environment
    In Memoriam of Alain Bugat Alain Bugat, Honorary President of the National Academy of Technologies of France, former General Administrator of the Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique (CEA) and a staunch defender of nuclear energy, initiated the three-Academies collaboration on Nuclear energy. He had invested much time and effort in shaping this report, bringing together experts from the three academies and giving it credibility and excellence. To our great grief, he passed away in January 2019 at a time where the report was already at an advanced stage of completion. The memory of his energetic and charismatic personality rests in our minds. Nuclear Energy and the Environment A COLLABORATIVE PROGRAMME BETWEEN FRENCH and CHINESE ACADEMIES May 2019 Foreword This report on nuclear energy and the environment is jointly released by the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Technologies of France and the French Academy of sciences. It is a second collaborative study of the three academies on nuclear energy matters. The first report, issued in August 2017, covered many aspects of nuclear energy and offered joint, mostly technical, recommendations for the direction of nuclear energy in the future. It was an attempt to provide an objective overview of many scientific and technological issues on nuclear energy (its position in the future energy mix, benefits, strengths and weak points, research and development perspectives, technology and safety, engineering etc.), as well as societal issues (education, training, risk perception, public awareness etc.). But it was admittedly far from being exhaustive. Environmental issues were not considered in sufficient depth in the previous report despite their being crucial for the future of this industry, and the Academies felt it necessary to pursue their cooperation and further address these important issues.

Since January 2002, China, the most heavily populated country with more than 1.3 billion inhabitants in a territory of 9.5 million km2 (17 times larger than France), has a nuclear capacity of 9 GWe with 11 nuclear plants on line. Forecasts of electricity consumption report a need for 900 to 1,000 GWe per year through 2020, and at this time the country’s objective is to increase nuclear- generated electricity from 1% to 4% of its total output. This means a need for additional 30 GWe, which is the equivalent of twenty 1,500 MWe reactors. In addition to nuclear power, China is pushing renewable energy. With the passage of the 2005 Renewable Energy Law, China's government imposed a national renewable energy requirement that is expected to boost the use of renewable energy capacity from 10 to 12 percent by 2020, up from 3% in 2003.

  • Chinese Nuclear Society
    Chinese Nuclear Society Invitation for International Summit on Nuclear Energy and Environment Development The International Summit on Nuclear Energy & Environment Development (ISNEED) will be held in Weihai, China from May 15 to 17, 2019, hosted by the Chinese Academy of Engineering in cooperation with Chinese Nuclear Society, French National Academy of Sciences and National Academy of Technologies. With support of the 2017 program (Program Phase-I), three academies (the Chinese Academy of Engineering, French Academy of Sciences, and National Academy of Technologies of France) from China and France jointly drafted a splendid report titled Joint Proposals On Future Of Nuclear Energy which received warm response after its release in the IAEA General Conference. In 2018, the three academies continued the cooperation to implement Program Phase-II and chose “nuclear energy and environment” as the topic of the joint research. The research deals with the central issue of the impact of nuclear energy on the environment considering all operations from uranium mining to radioactive waste disposal. The joint research results of the three academies Program Phase-II will be released on this summit. The summit will focus on the application of civil nuclear technology, the sustainable development of nuclear energy. The summit has invited experts from China, France, Russia, Japan, Sweden, Ukraine, IAEA and the other nuclear players in the world through Keynote session, plenary session, and Roundtable Discussion. The summit will bring new impetus to accelerating development of the world nuclear energy, enhancing influence of the nuclear industry and promoting more potential countries to realize nuclear power generation.
