China's industry has developed rapidly, now a much perfect system has been formed with personnel training, scientific research, product development and manufacture. Except for a few special products, the variety and quantity of existing products can basically meet the national economic needs, showing great potential and advantages.
1. China has patent for certain. Such as fully enclosed electric gate valve used for Nuclear Island (NI), which designed and manufactured by China. The valve uses a special electronic gear and rotary-straight motion drive with no fillers, so it has a positive significance for operating safely and simplifying the maintenance of the system.
2. China has made some progress in the following step of foreign advanced technology. Now China has the ability to design and manufacture sodium-cooled fast valves for breeder reactor, and also can check and repair part nuclear valves for foreign nuclear power plants. Particularly a breakthrough has been made in the development and production of low flow resistance valves for residual heat removal system and nuclear power plant reactor.
3. The localization degree of nuclear power field is improving continuously, which is favorable for enhancing the setting ability. In order to reduce the cost of nuclear power, China actively promotes the localization policy for major equipment of the nuclear power industry. As for the nuclear valve enterprises, on the basis of striving for the support from national industrial policy they should increase their independent research and development and collaboration with foreign manufacturers. Therefore, they can achieve a breakthrough in valve actuator, control and transmission devices, and settle the bottleneck problem that restricts the improvement of valve performance.
4. The manufacturing management level of the industry is increasing year by year. Nowadays, many Chinese enterprises are improve their quality management level through the serious quality system certification, national nuclear safety certification, etc; they increase the production capacity by constantly introducing new equipments such as CNC machining center, automatic welding production lines; and they improve the performance testing level on safety, throttle valve, steam trap valve and pressure reducing valve and other special valve through establishing the integrated test center of various valves and special test circuit.
5. In order to achieve the goal of localizing China's nuclear valve ultimately, China industry can strengthen the cooperation with the foreign nuclear valve enterprises, and make good use of their advantages of advanced technology, capital and management, to increase their own technical strength and management level, improve the testing and checkout system.
