CNNC develops nuclear power station simulator
WUHAN, CHINA - An upgrade project on a nuclear power station simulator has been completed for Phase III of Qinshan Nuclear Power Company Limited in Wuhan.
The plant was developed by China Nuclear Power Operation Technology Company Limited (CNPOTECH), a subsidiary of the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC). The simulator has been accepted for use in nuclear power stations to train operators and managers.
The technology has been successfully applied in simulators for nuclear power stations, including Qinshan Phase I, Qinshan Phase II, Qinshan Phase III, Daya Bay and Ling'ao.
As the main force in the growth of China's nuclear power, CNNC has prioritized the development of a nuclear power station simulator. The company developed its simulation platform through independent research and development, said Yu Jianfeng, CNNC's Deputy General Manager. CNPOTECH completed the upgrade of the full-range simulator for Qinshan III and achieved the localization of the core technology, said Yu Jianfeng, the company's Vice President said.
CNPOTECH has signed three contracts for the development and manufacture of full-range simulators for the Fuqing and Fangjiashan nuclear power stations, as well as for the research and development of an engineering simulation and verification platform for China Nuclear Power Engineering Corporation (Beijing), a subsidiary of CNNC.

Tens of Thousands Left Without Power as 'Bomb Cyclone' Strikes B.C. Coast
VANCOUVER - A powerful storm, dubbed a "bomb cyclone," recently struck the British Columbia coast, wreaking havoc across the region. This intense weather system led to widespread disruptions, including power outages affecting tens of thousands of residents and the cancellation of ferry services, crucial for travel between coastal communities. The bomb cyclone is characterized by a rapid drop in pressure, resulting in extremely strong winds and heavy rainfall. These conditions caused significant damage, particularly along the coast and on Vancouver Island, where flooding, landslides, and fallen trees blocked roads, further complicating recovery efforts.
The storm's ferocity was especially felt in…
