Taohuajiang Nuclear Power "restart slapstick"

It is understood that the Hunan Taohuajiang Nuclear Power Station, the Hubei Daxie Nuclear Power Station, and the Jiangxi Pengze Nuclear Power Station were the first inland nuclear power stations that received the “Road” of the Development and Reform Commission (ie, approved to carry out preparatory work) after the snow and ice disaster in early 2008. According to the planned technical route, the Taohuajiang Nuclear Power Plant will use the third-generation nuclear power technology AP1000 to build and plan to build four 1.25-million-kilowatt units with a total installed capacity of 5 million kilowatts. The company's goal is also very clear, that is, "the construction of the first inland nuclear power plant", but after the Fukushima accident in 2011, three inland nuclear power projects were halted.

"è°£" pass: Most netizens follow posts against

On the 8th, "First Financial Daily" recalled in the "Retrospection of the Inland First Nuclear Power Plant", "The news spread on April 5. A local media in Hunan reported on this day that the Chinese mainland The first nuclear power plant was ready to start, and some media officials immediately relayed the news and triggered all kinds of guesses from netizens and the industry."

The report it referred to was from "Rednet," the main news site in Hunan, "The first nuclear power station inland will start the promotion of nuclear safety in Hunan." The report contained a statement made by the discipline inspection leader of the Taoyang Office of Yiyang, Hunan Province: The Taojiang government and Taohuajiang Nuclear Power Company passed popular science propaganda. The local people’s attitude towards nuclear power projects has changed from the “fear of nuclear power” in the past to “fear that nuclear power was not built. We are here." Also wrote, "On March 27, the relevant person in charge of the Taohuajiang Nuclear Power Company stated that the documents required for the start of the project have basically been fully prepared, the preliminary design of the project has been completed, and the forging of major equipment has been fully started; The supporting infrastructure has been completed, and all preliminary preparations for the project have been completed, which fully meets the conditions for commencement of construction."

The results of Baidu News search showed that the report was first seen on Rednet on April 3 and was reposted on dozens of websites five days later. However, when you click on the link reported by Rednet on the 9th, a pop-up page prompts “The page you visited does not exist or has been deleted.” There is no way to know when and why this happened. Reports rescued by other websites show that the original layout and renderings of the power plant site were distributed in the text, the door was affixed with “Hunan Taohuajiang Nuclear Power Co., Ltd.” and the slogan “Create the first inland nuclear power product” on the side of the door wall. The interior view of the office building and the site map, the red network logo and the “Rednet Energy” channel in the lower right corner of the three pictures.

One of the portal websites is easy to reprint the report on the afternoon of April 5th. As of April 10, the “Reporter's Posts” at the bottom of the report’s website showed “2716 people participating in 26,688 people”. Layers of posts, filled with anxiety and dissatisfaction with the location of the Peach Blossom River nuclear power plant, incomplete statistics, at least more than 70% objections. Most local users are not willing to build it in their hometown because of the "neighborhood effect." There are many netizens who responded similarly: "As a Taojiang native in Hunan, I firmly oppose building a nuclear power plant in the local area." Another netizen questioned whether the people are afraid that nuclear power will not be built on us. There are also supportive and neutral opinions, such as “Is the high-speed rail accident insecure?” But such posts are not enough to silence the anti-nuclear opinion. On the contrary, these speakers are sometimes detained with “five hairs” or “stands”. Do not talk back to the hat.

It's not groundless to restart efforts

On October 24, 2012, the inland nuclear power policy was finalized and no inland nuclear power projects were approved during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period. This is a huge disaster for the three major inland nuclear power plants in Hunan's Taohuajiang, Jiangxi's Pengze, and Hubei Daxie, which have already carried out preliminary work but were suspended after the Fukushima nuclear accident in March 2011. According to statistics, as of the end of 2012, the initial investment in the above three major inland nuclear power projects reached 10 billion yuan.

In the past two years, the media “Peng Ze Nuclear Power Interrupted Jiangxi’s Ferry Daily Interest Rate”, “Hubei Xianning Nuclear Power Plant Project Stranded Many Industries Halfway,” and “Penze Nuclear Power Investment 3 Billion Investment Quiet inland Nuclear Power to Restart Its Voice” and other reports Clearly stated the difficult dilemma of inland nuclear power and the desire to restart.

Related units are still waiting and working hard. For example, during the two sessions last year, the Hunan delegation submitted the “No. 1 Recommendation” in the name of all representatives and hoped to restart the construction of inland nuclear power as soon as possible and make the Taohuajiang Nuclear Power Station the first inland demonstration nuclear power station. During the same period, enterprises also increased popular science propaganda. The public opinion of the nuclear power industry and related government officials calling for the restart of inland nuclear power was also passed out. For instance, Lu Youyi, the former deputy energy minister and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, also called for the initiation of inland nuclear power as soon as possible. .

This year, they were finally able to wait and see the dawn of a little hope. In January of this year, the “Energy Working Guidance Opinion 2014” issued by the National Energy Administration pointed out that in 2014, the new nuclear power installed capacity was 8.64 million kilowatts, timely approval of nuclear power key projects was initiated, and nuclear power construction in coastal areas was steadily promoted to make inland nuclear power plant sites better. protection. The nuclear power industry generally believes that "this formulation is still relatively positive." On March 5 this year, Premier Li Keqiang of the State Council also pointed out in the "Government Work Report" that it is necessary to increase the proportion of non-fossil energy generation and start a batch of hydropower and nuclear power projects. Two policy-level signals have made the units concerned more cheery.

During this year's two sessions of the National People's Congress, Zheng Yaoguo, deputy to the National People's Congress and general manager of the Taohuajiang Nuclear Power Co., Ltd., told the media that everything was ready and it only owed the east wind. He said, "This year, according to the requirements of the situation, we will continue to do a good job in equipment ordering and other related tasks starting from last year." "Overall, all the preparatory work for the Peach Blossom River is progressing according to the start of 2016. ."

The news of Yiyang News Network at the end of March also stated that “the city’s deployment of the Taohua River nuclear power plant construction preparatory work”. Taojiang Nuclear Power Office recently submitted to the Taojiang County government's nuclear power promotion program, including nuclear power science popularization of schools, mobile phone color ring to promote nuclear power knowledge, taxi advertising, nuclear power into the community, the establishment of nuclear power SMS platform and so on.

According to public information, the Taohuajiang Nuclear Power Station is located at Heyeshan, Zihuishan, Zhexi Town, Taojiang County, Yiyang City, Hunan Province, and covers an area of ​​3,000 mu. It is planned to invest 67 billion yuan, which is one of the largest investment projects in Hunan in the past years. Established in 2008, Hunan Taohuajiang Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. is jointly funded by China National Nuclear Corporation, China Resources Power Engineering Services Co., Ltd., China Three Gorges Project Development Corporation and Hunan Xiangtou Holding Group Co., Ltd. In January 2011, the proposal on strengthening Hunan Province's "12th Five-Year Plan" energy security system construction proposal was listed as the "Proposal No. 1" by the Fourth Session of the Tenth Hunan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. It is proposed to speed up the construction of the Taohuajiang Nuclear Power Station.

As of the end of 2013, the contracted amount of this project was nearly 16 billion yuan, and the total investment in fixed assets was 4.63 billion yuan. Some media claimed that the project "needs to pay 100 million yuan in financial expenses each year."

However, after the completion of the 4 units of the Taohuajiang nuclear power project, the annual power generation will be 35 billion kilowatt-hours, and the annual output value will exceed 14 billion yuan at the rate of 0.43 yuan/kWh. The current on-grid electricity price for Hunan is 0.509 yuan, and the construction of nuclear power plants is completed. Lowering the price of electricity and optimizing the energy structure will provide strong energy security for Hunan's economic and social development.” Zheng Yuguo emphasized to the media more than once.

Exploiting "è°£": "It is difficult to hide the current situation of inland nuclear power."

On April 5th, the "Peach Blossom River Nuclear Power Launched Popular Science Propaganda for an Early Start" news appeared on China National Nuclear Corporation and the company's official website of the Taohuajiang company. A message of less than 200 words was written: The responsible person confirmed that Taohuajiang Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. is currently conducting popular science propaganda work in the local area, and the various documents required for the start of the project are actively being prepared. ... is not what the media said is "coming soon."

In the evening of the same day, China News Network asked Zuo Yunfeng, secretary of the Party Committee of the China Nuclear Power Group Hunan Taohuajiang Nuclear Power Company, to verify and clarify the reports of “Yao”. The People’s Network also published the news of the official website of CNNC’s official website. “The Taohuajiang Nuclear Power Company denied that it will soon The "Start of Science" campaign is currently being carried out mainly by popular science propaganda. Afterwards, media such as "Southern Metropolis Daily", "First Financial Daily", and "China Science Journal" followed suit. The rumored news has been republished to mainstream news websites and has overwhelmed "come to start." "The news.

However, in the thread behind these “denial start” news, netizens expressed not the joy but the similar public opinion pattern inspired by the “谣” biography, and even some netizens were more worried. Some netizens out of their prejudice against the official rumor have said that “the official rumor has been denied, it seems that it will not take long for the nuclear power plant to start.” and there is a message saying “This is a temptation, and the local people must go to the streets” .

The media and industry must be much more sensible and rational, expressing their judgments and suggestions on this dispute. "Southern Metropolis Daily" published an editorial on April 7th: "The nuclear power generation must be released to solve public safety concerns", reminding parties that the nuclear popularization method needs to be improved: "I fear that nuclear power is not built in our place." Such an attitude from the official mouth In view of the fact that the official must have hoped that the project can be successfully landed, it will inevitably cause people to worry about distortions in the process of transmitting public opinions.

The two domestic financial media, "First Financial Daily" and "Daily Economic News," also published this article on the 8th. The former quoted industry insiders' analysis as saying that the cause of the controversy at the nuclear power plant was related to what it had been listed as "Proposal No. 1" of Hunan Province and the "impulse of the incumbent's chief nuclear officer". The latter commented on this turmoil. "Although the news was quickly denied, it is still difficult to hide the current situation of inland nuclear power."

According to the monitoring data from the Public Opinion and Monitoring Office of CLP, from April 3 to April 10, there were 779 news reports on whether the Taohua River nuclear power plant was started or not, of which 258 were news reprints expressing “comming soon”, accounting for 33.1%. The number of news reprints of "denies started" was 521, accounting for 66.9%. However, in the media's posting of the above two types of opinion news, most public opinion is opposed.
