法国从六十年代初开始发展核电站,至今已有二十多年的历史。经过了一段时间的摸索,比较了几种堆型之后,法国核电站主要选择了安全性能较好的压水堆。到目前为止,法国已拥有核电站十九个,内有三十多个反应堆,还有若干个正在兴建之中。原子能发电总量已达到一万兆瓦以上,占法国全部发电量的百分之二十多。核发电量在全世界名列第四,仅次于美国、苏联和日本。由于水力发电差不多已开发殆尽,又无油少煤,对法国来说,核能发电是势在必 France has been developing nuclear power plants since the early 1960s and has more than 20 years of history. After a period of exploration, after comparing several heap types, the French nuclear power plant mainly chose the better performance of pressurized water reactors. So far, France already has 19 nuclear power plants, there are more than 30 reactors, and a number of them are under construction. The total atomic power generation has reached more than ten thousand megawatts, accounting for more than 20% of France’s total generating capacity. Nuclear power ranks fourth in the world after the United States, the Soviet Union and Japan. Since hydropower is almost developed and oil-free and coal-less, for France, nuclear power is a must
