Chinese scientists have made significant technological breakthroughs in nuclear research: the recovery of uranium and plutonium from the burning nuclear fuel in the nuclear reactor, according to CCTV news. And if the plutonium can be recycled on the power pile, it means that, under the existing nuclear power scale, China's proven uranium resources can only be used for about 50-70 years and become sufficient for 3,000 years. The technical name is "power reactor/Spent fuel/post processing technology". Experts recommend that nuclear power generation is the nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors in a fission reaction to release energy. and thermal power plants to continue to add coal, when the nuclear fuel can not maintain a certain amount of power, but also need to be replaced. These changed nuclear fuel components are called spent fuel. In layman's parlance, spent fuel is similar to the "cinder" in a thermal power station, but it is definitely not "cinder" but "Big Baby". Because of today's nuclear power technology, nuclear fuel is only burning 3%~4% around, can not maintain the rated power. And these nuclear fuel in the combustion process, but also generate new nuclear fuel. The chief engineer of the China Nuclear group's post-processing pilot project, Wang Jian, said it was time to pass a series of chemical processes to bring the nuclear power plant out of the burning nuclear fuel, as well as the newly produced nuclear fuel. Sun Qin, general manager of China Nuclear Industry group, said that in the nuclear fuel industry, China is a very few countries capable of forming a nuclear fuel cycle.
