The Daily Conversation2016.2.2---中國未來大型項目(第7/核電站)
發佈日期:2016年2月3日
China will rapidly expand its nuclear energy production over the next 15 years as part of an all-of-the-above energy push to meet its people's insatiable demand for electricity.
中国将迅速扩大其核能源生产在未来15年的能源推的最上面所有的-的一部分,以满足人们对电力的巨大需求。
0:01Another answer is nuclear power, which is much less controversial in China because of
0:05its prodigious demand for electricity--and the inability of its people to mount any real
0:10challenges to the government’s plans.
0:13Mainland China currently has 31 nuclear power reactors in operation, and another 24 under
0:19construction. Compare this to the United States, which has 99 commercial reactors overall,
0:25supplying about 20% of its electricity needs. However, the US currently has plans to build
0:31just five more reactors--as it’s instead choosing to embrace natural gas, wind and
0:36solar power.
0:38Even France -- who leads the world by generating 3/4 of its electricity from nuclear -- is
0:43moving away from the technology, and will likely close nearly half its nuclear power
0:47plants in the next decade.
0:49The Fukushima accident in Japan, after the devastating earthquake there, also accelerated
0:54the world’s break up with nuclear power, even causing China to briefly suspend new
0:58projects. But while the rest of the world turns its back on nuclear energy, China is
1:02doing the opposite, more than quadrupling its nuclear capacity by 2030. The marquee
1:08project is the Haiyang Nuclear Power Plant in Shandong province, which will eventually
1:13house eight AP1000 Westinghouse pressurized water reactors for a total capacity of 8,800
1:20MegaWatts--four times more power than is generated by the Hoover Dam, a power station that provides
1:26electricity for 8 million people in the American Southwest. And when you factor in that the
1:31average home in China uses a fraction of what an American home uses, the Haiyang plant will
1:35end up producing enough electricity for tens of millions of people.
1:39But the $13 billion project is only the most powerful of the 13 different nuclear power
1:44plants currently under construction across China--nine of which will have a maximum capacity
1:50of more than 6,000 MW.
1:53Most are near large cities where power is needed most, but this strategy raises concerns
1:58that if there were an accident, tens of millions of residents could be exposed to dangerous
2:03radiation.
2:04The neighboring Guangdong and Ling Ao nuclear power plants have 28 million people within
2:09a 75-kilometer radius, including Hong Kong. That’s many more than the 8 million who
2:15live within 75-kilometers of the San Onofre nuclear generation station in Southern California,
2:20but the decision was taken in 2013 to shut the California plant down after numerous safety
2:26concerns became known to the public--highlighting the opposite directions the two nations are
2:30heading in when it comes to nuclear power.
2:33The other issue China must deal with is how to dispose the many tons of radioactive waste
2:37it will be generating, which is always a contentious issue because no one wants that in their backyard.
2:42The current plan is for construction to commence in 2041 on a high level waste repository site
2:48in the Gobi Desert.
2:50On the whole, the danger of a costly nuclear accident that China would pay for in both
2:54blood and treasure is fairly significant, but Beijing is apparently willing to live
2:59with that risk, judging by its unrestricted embrace of nuclear power. But these are tough
3:04choices, and it’s important to keep in mind that in the age of climate change and ecological
3:09interconnectivity, nuclear power is still an infinitely cleaner alternative to burning
3:14coal.
3:15I hope you liked this video, and if you did, hit that like button to help it spread. Until
3:21next time, for TDC I’m Bryce Plank, and as usual, thanks for watching.
0:01另一个答案是核能,这是在中国少得多,因为争议的
0:05其对电力的需求巨大 - 和它的人民无法安装任何真正的
0:10挑战政府的计划。
0:13中国大陆目前有31运行核电反应堆,另有24下
0:19施工。与此相比,美国的,这总体有99商业反应堆,
0:25提供的电力需求约20%。然而,美国目前已规划建设
0:31短短五年以上反应器 - 因为它而是选择拥抱天然气,风能和
0:36太阳能。
0:38即使是法国 - 谁通过产生核能的发电量3/4处于世界领先地位 - 是
0:43从技术的逐渐远离,并可能会接近将近一半的核能
0:47植物在未来的十年。
0:49在日本福岛事故,破坏性地震后,也加速
0:54全球分手核电,甚至引起中国简要暂停新
0:58项目。不过,虽然世界其他国家关闭其核能源回来,中国
1:02做相反,超过2030年的选取框翻两番其核能力
1:08项目是海阳核电厂在山东省,最终
1:13房子8西屋AP1000压水堆为8800,总容量
1:20兆瓦 - 比由胡佛水坝,电站,提供了产生四倍的力量
1:26用电800万人在美国西南部。而当你的因素是,
1:31在中国普通家庭使用的是什么美国家庭使用的一小部分,海阳厂将
1:35结束了对数以千万计的人产生足够的电力。
1:39但是,$ 13十亿的项目只有最强大的13个不同的核电
1:44工厂目前正在建设中国各地 - 其中9个将有一个最大容量
1:50超过6000兆瓦。
1:53大多数是附近最需要的功率大的城市,但这一战略引起了关注
1:58如果有意外,数以千万计的居民可能会暴露在危险
2:03辐射。
2:04邻近的广东岭澳核电站拥有的28亿人
2:09 75公里半径范围,包括香港。这比800万更多的谁
2:15生活中的圣奥诺弗雷核发电站的南加州75公里,
2:20但决定是在2013年众多安全后关闭加州工厂下来
2:26担心成为为公众所知 - 突出方向相反的两个国家是
2:30当涉及到核电的标题。
2:33另一个问题中国必须处理的是如何处置的诸多吨放射性废物
2:37它会产生,这始终是一个有争议的问题,因为没有人愿意在他们的后院。
2:42目前的计划是建造于2041开始在高放废物处置库场址
2:48在戈壁滩。
2:50综合来看,昂贵的核事故的危险,中国将在这两个支付
2:54鲜血和财富是相当显著,但北京显然是愿意住
2:59与风险,通过核电的怀抱不受限制判断。但这些都是艰难
3:04选择,而且要记住这是很重要的气候变化和生态的时代
3:09互联互通,核电仍然是一个无限清洁的替代燃烧
3:14煤炭。
3:15我希望你喜欢这个视频,如果你这样做,打,像按钮来帮助它传播。直到
3:21接下来的时间,为TDC我布莱斯木板,和往常一样,感谢收看。
