China boasts breakthrough in nuclear technology

[UCAVNet]

Why are you underestimating China? If you are from India, you shouldn't be underestimating China. Do you have the in depth knowledge of nuclear technology and the actual capability of China, Japan and France in regard to nuclear energy? If not, stop making statements that you cannot back up.

Why do u think I am presently in India??

 

[UCAVNet]

I am least bothered what India is doing vis-a-vis china. And those of you who think that prayers are needed for Israeli gene pool, can please go ahead and pray for your unfortunate Arab brothers. Your other brother Turkey is having second thoughts before taking the battle to us. So go and buzz your worthless IQ where there are buyers : therez none in Israel. And look up Google......china has been repeatedly asking for Israeli tech.

A small step for china , but will be a giant leap for superpower india.

China reports breakthrough in reprocessing technology - Monsters and Critics

"China reports breakthrough in reprocessing technology
Jan 3, 2011, 10:26 GMT

Beijing - Chinese scientists have achieved a breakthrough in nuclear fuel reprocessing technology, effectively increasing its nuclear fuel reserves by making their use 60 times more efficient, state media reported Monday.

The new technology for extracting uranium and plutonium from spent fuel rods, developed by the China National Nuclear Cooperation, would help stretch uranium reserves to 3,000 years, up from current estimates of 50 to 70 years, CCTV reported.

'We need to reprocess the spent fuel during the heating period to extract the recyclable part from burned material, as well as the newly generated part through a series of chemical processes,' CNNC chief engineer Wang Jian was quoted as saying. 'The next step is fuel assembly.'

The facility had been developed '100 per cent' by Chinese engineers after 24 years of research, the report stressed.

France, Britain, Russia and China have each developed their own closely guarded reprocessing technologies.

China has been concerned over fuel supplies for its nuclear power programme, which Beijing plans to expand to meet swiftly rising electricity demand.

The country is the world's largest energy consumer, consumer of coal and greenhouse gas emitter.

China is building 12 new reactors and 24 are in the planning stage. Both figures are more than in any other country.

According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, China produced 70,000 gigawatts of electricity from nuclear plants and Beijing wants to increase its nuclear energy capacity eightfold by 2020, when it plans to supply 6 per cent of its energy needs from nuclear power."

no its not israel from where china got reprocessing tech its the pakistan. KRL has big contribution in chinese reprocessing tech.

BBC News - China 'in nuclear power advance'

China has developed its own technologies that will enable it to reprocess spent nuclear fuel, state television has reported.

The country has launched an ambitious programme to build a number of new nuclear power stations.

This latest breakthrough could provide fuel for those plants for years to come.

Chinese scientists have apparently been working on this technology for 24 years.

State television says they have now perfected a procedure that will allow them to reprocess spent nuclear fuel.

It is a complex and costly procedure but the recycled material can be used again to fuel nuclear power stations.

China is not the first country to develop its own reprocessing facilities. France, Britain and India are just three countries that already have their own operations.

But this breakthrough will have major implications in China.

The country is building a number of new nuclear power plants in an effort to diversify its energy sources.

At the moment it mostly relies on coal. This latest development could help its nuclear power programme.

State television says the country currently has enough known uranium for at most 70 years.

It claims this new process could mean that supply will now last 3,000.

Congrats to Chinese brothers on this great achievement.

... France, Britain and India are just three countries that already have their own operations.

.

You're seriously deluted with that thought and any implied significance from it.

Nothing special with N reprocessing facility operations. Pakistan has 2 as well. Any country has N-bomb has it. Even countries without N bomb such as Germany has it as well.

China had it decades earlier than India and is far more sophiticated. Actually they are even not in the same league. It is the stage of how advanced the reprocessing facility operations are that the article/the news was talking about.

 

[newdelhinsa]

Thanks J-50 for your correct news article, where name of India is not avoided intentionally.

India is reprocessing its used Nuclear fuel at three different sites from last three decades.
Reprocessing plants, world-wide

Care to provide the source of your claims.

so you must be working in these facilities ... you know more than BBC ....

and you must have also worked in India's facilities. ..

China has this China has that, China is different league blah blah.

Why CIAE is begging assistance from foreign countries in setting up future fuel cycles and MOX fuel reprocessing.

During the last few years, Beijing has been negotiating agreements with foreign governments and companies to obtain assistance in setting up its future nuclear fuel cycle. It concluded one agreement last month to permit Belgian firms to negotiate a commercial contract with Chinese counterparts to set up a pilot plant in China to make a small amount of MOX fuel.

China may take a far bigger step should it conclude, as anticipated, an agreement with France to allow Areva—the government-owned nuclear flagship vendor in France—and CNNC to sign a future contract worth perhaps more than $20 billion to establish commercial-scale reprocessing and MOX fuel infrastructure in China.

Areva made an offer to CNNC intended to recoup and capitalize on its comparative advantage over Westinghouse—which has no plutonium fuel expertise—to help China set up a reprocessing and MOX fuel complex. Officials then described the offer as a replication of Areva’s plants in France, in particular its 800-MT reprocessing plant at La Hague called UP-3.

This month, Areva and CNNC signed a memorandum of understanding affirming their resolve to negotiate a commercial contract for setting up reprocessing and MOX fuel facilities in China. Under French law concerning nuclear fuel cycle cooperation with foreign countries, however, no such contract can be signed without a bilateral government-to-government agreement in place that establishes the nonproliferation, technical, and political commitments of both sides. This Sino-French agreement is still under negotiation.

Update on China's nuclear breeder and fuel reprocessing plans

China can boast to extract 60 folds more fuel out of used fuel when any fine rector will not leave more than 0.6% fuel from the whole lot. I reckon its a ploy to bluff third word countries to trust them for future nuclear deal when they themselves are asking others to help.

Your typical Indian style chest-thumping is truly amazing.

i only assume that you are an israeli here ( that's a very big assume as country flags are are for free ).

Then what you brag about? "Israel tech? " since when?

Most, if not ALL, major israel tech are in fact second or even first hand American tech and Russian tech (waves of Russian scientists immigrated to Israel after the collapse of USSR cliaming that they were Jews. Yet no one knows for sure how exactly so).

With more than $5 billion annual militay assistance from the US which mainly takes the form of millitary technologies of all kinds for decades, so called "Israel tech" is literally Amercian tech, oke?

China's seeking to get some of them was her efforts to get hold on some American tech to avoid the need of wasting time by reinventing the wheel.

"Israel tech"? You are seriously funny !

With average IQ at merely low 90s, 92 to be precise, for Israel ( in light of Europe's 100 and China's 105) , your "tech" would be as good as Turkey's, if not marginly better, without overwhelmingly outright American assisance in all fields.

And all you can brag has been how to use American high tech F-16, oh sorry, Israeli high tech F-16 rofl, to indiscriminately bomb the h*** out of armless civilians of Palestine.

Pathetic!

Please read the number of countries currently assisting China.Oh Please add Pakistan's name into that list as per ajtr.

bbc?

bbc is a political organisation first and for most, to which I , unfortunately, am forced to pay annual licence fee.

Any sinuation that India is somehow at the same , or remotely close to, league as China's in nuclear tech is seriously deluted.
