Under the China National Nuclear Corporation, Fuqing Nuclear Power Plant has been actively contributing to the goal of “carbon peak and carbon neutrality”. As one of the clean and sustainable energy sources, nuclear energy plays an increasingly important role. However, the safe operation of nuclear energy is the key to ensuring the realization of this goal.
The No. 5 unit of the Fuqing Nuclear Power Plant, the world’s first “Hualong One” reactor, was officially put into commercial operation, creating the best performance in the construction of the world’s first third-generation nuclear power reactor, marking that China has officially entered the ranks of countries with advanced nuclear power technology and was selected into the “Major Events of the 100 Years of the Communist Party of China”; on March 25, 2022, Unit 6 was put into commercial operation, and the “Hualong One” demonstration project was fully completed and put into production.
The storage of safety equipment such as nuclear fuel rods and radiation source detectors at Fuqing Nuclear Power Plant is a top priority in the safe operation of the nuclear power plant. As a high-risk area around the nuclear reactor, the stable storage of safety equipment is particularly important.
In order to ensure the safety and stability of warehouse shelves, Fuqing Nuclear Power Plant introduced the advanced shelf tilt monitoring system of Zhinuo Technology. This system can monitor the tilt of warehouse shelves in real time. Once an abnormality is found, it will immediately issue an alarm to remind relevant personnel to take timely measures.
ZCT330M-SWP-L-CN470 wireless tilt sensor, developed by Zhinuo Technology, is specially used for high-precision structural safety tilt monitoring. It adopts LoRaWAN LAN to ensure data privacy, which fully meets the data security and confidentiality requirements of Fuqing Nuclear Power Plant for shelf anti-tilt monitoring. At the same time, it helps users to achieve truly unattended and automated monitoring, and timely discover safety hazards so that they can be checked, confirmed and maintained at any time.
It has the following parameters:
(1) Wireless data transmission, which can be customized to upload to the client server
(2) Easy to disassemble and assemble, no debugging required
(3) LAN, data confidentiality
(4) 0.005° precision/accuracy
(5) ±30° range
(6) Customized heartbeat time and alarm angle
(7) Built-in long-life battery, data can be sent and received once every 24 hours for more than 3 years
Zhinuo Technology’s shelf tilt monitoring system provides a strong guarantee for the safe operation of Fuqing Nuclear Power Plant. It can not only help nuclear power plants to promptly discover and resolve safety hazards such as shelf tilting, but also improve work efficiency, reduce human errors, and further ensure the safe and stable operation of nuclear power plants.
On the road to carbon peak and carbon neutrality, Fuqing Nuclear Power Plant and Zhinuo Technology will work hand in hand, with safety as the guarantee, and strive for a better future!
