China's Nuclear Industry

China's Nuclear Industry 

China's nuclear industry dates back to 1955. After decades of development, China has established a complete system of nuclear science, technology and industry, evolving from having no nuclear power to owning homegrown Gen III technology, achieving technology upgrading and expanded production of nuclear fuel, and realizing rapid development and industrial application of nuclear technology. On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of China's nuclear industry in January 2015, President Xi Jinping commented, "Over the past 60 years, several generations of scientists and others in the nuclear industry have made outstanding contributions to our national security and economic development. Their hard work, innovation, and trailblazing efforts have enabled our nuclear industry to develop from scratch and thrive with remarkable achievements. As a high-tech strategic industry, the nuclear industry is an important cornerstone of our national security." He went on to emphasize "the need for a continued focus on safety and innovation in pursuit of peaceful uses of nuclear energy, and the importance of further improving the competitiveness of our nuclear industry in an effort to add a new great chapter to the annals of the development of the industry". 

中国核工业

中国核工业创建于1955年，经过几十年的发展，建立了完整的核科技工业体系，实现了核电事业从“零的突破”到拥有自主知识产权的三代核电技术的重大跨越；实现了核燃料技术更新换代和生产规模扩大；实现了核技术应用的产业化和发展跃升。2015年1月，在中国核工业创建60周年之际，习近平作出批示：“60年来，几代核工业人艰苦创业、开拓创新，推动我国核工业从无到有、从小到大，取得了世人瞩目的成就，为国家安全和经济建设作出了突出贡献。核工业是高科技战略产业，是国家安全重要基石。要坚持安全发展、创新发展，坚持和平利用核能，全面提升核工业的核心竞争力，续写我国核工业新的辉煌篇章。”
