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". 

中國核工業

中國核工業創建于1955年，經過幾十年的發展，建立了完整的核科技工業體系，實現了核電事業從“零的突破”到擁有自主知識產權的三代核電技術的重大跨越；實現了核燃料技術更新換代和生產規模擴大；實現了核技術應用的產業化和發展躍升。2015年1月，在中國核工業創建60周年之際，習近平作出批示：“60年來，幾代核工業人艱苦創業、開拓創新，推動我國核工業從無到有、從小到大，取得了世人矚目的成就，為國家安全和經濟建設作出了突出貢獻。核工業是高科技戰略產業，是國家安全重要基石。要堅持安全發展、創新發展，堅持和平利用核能，全面提升核工業的核心競爭力，續寫我國核工業新的輝煌篇章。”
