HTGR Fuel Elements Production Line
In March 2013, the China North Nuclear Fuel Co., Ltd. began construction of a fuel element production line with a targeted annual production capacity of 300,000 spherical fuel elements to be used by the 200 MWe HTGR demonstration plant in Shidao Bay, Shandong Province. The production line employs homegrown technology for producing spherical fuel elements developed by Tsinghua University. It is the first industrial production line for fuel elements in the world with Gen IV nuclear safety features. On July 17, 2017, the 200,000th HTGR spherical fuel element rolled off the production line, marking the fabrication of HTGR fuel elements on an industrial scale.
