“双碳”目标下第四代核能系统发展概述

Overview of the Development of Generation IV Nuclear Energy System under the Goal of Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutraulity

摘要: 以核能为重要内容的新能源作为实现“双碳”目标的主要途径，在“3060”目标的背景下，再次迎来了历史性发展机遇期。当前，能源清洁低碳转型的紧迫性、高质量发展的必要性、价格的不断上涨以及核能经济效益、安全水平的不断提高，正在改变公众对核能的看法，为核能带来了新的发展机遇。第四代核能系统具有安全性高、经济性好、用途广泛等特点，符合市场和未来发展的要求，符合发展新质生产力的内在要求。除发电外，第四代核能系统还可用于制氢、海水淡化、区域供热和提供工艺热等，能够满足许多行业的能源需求，有助于更大规模地减少碳排放。文章综合介绍了第四代核能系统的发展情况，展望了相关技术的发展前景。

Abstract: As the main way to achieve the “dual carbon goals”, new energy with nuclear energy as an important content has once again ushered in a historic period of opportunity for development in the context of the “3060” goal. At present, the urgency of clean and low-carbon energy transformation, the necessity of high-quality development, the continuous rise in prices, and the continuous improvement of the economic benefits and safety level of nuclear energy are changing the public’s perception of nuclear energy, which brings new development opportunities for the nuclear energy. The generation IV nuclear energy system has the characteristics of high safety, good economy and wide range of uses, which meets the requirements of the market and future development, and meets the inherent requirements of developing new quality productivity. In addition to power generation, generation IV nuclear energy system can be used for hydrogen production, desalination, district heating and process heat supply, among others, to meet the energy needs of many industries and help reduce carbon emissions on a larger scale. The article synthesizes the development of the generation IV nuclear energy system and looks ahead to the development of related technologies.
