据最近来访的美国企业界人士介绍,美国核电前景看好,目前正处在近十年来最佳的时期。1997年以来,美国政府对开发核能先进技术的热情高涨,美国能源部已将支持民用核能技术研究的专项正式列入1999年财政年度的预算中。目前已经有三种先进堆型获得了美国核管会的最终批准书。西屋公司计划在AP-600的基础上进一步开发AP-1000,并且即将进入申请美国核管会(NRC)批准书的程序。
According to recent visits from American business people, the prospects for nuclear power in the United States are promising and are currently at its best in nearly a decade. Since 1997, the U.S. government’s enthusiasm for the development of advanced nuclear energy technologies has increased. The U.S. Department of Energy has officially included special projects for supporting civil nuclear energy technologies in the 1999 fiscal year’s budget. At present, there are three advanced reactor types that have obtained the final approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Westinghouse plans to further develop the AP-1000 on the basis of the AP-600, and is about to enter the procedure for applying for the NRC approval.
