On December 13, 2019, China Machinery Industry Federation (CMIF) and China General Machinery Industry Association (CGMA) organized and held a product prototype appraisal meeting of CAP1400 main steam safety valve independently developed by Wujiang Dongwu Machinery Co. By the China National Nuclear Corporation, Shanghai Nuclear Engineering Research and Design Institute and other units of experts composed of the appraisal committee listened to the development of a summary report, visited the production and test site, witnessed part of the prototype test, access to the design, manufacturing, testing, testing and quality assurance documents and information. And after questioning and discussion. The experts of the appraisal committee believe that the product prototype has reasonable design, appropriate material selection, excellent performance, and meets the requirements of the development mission statement. At the same time, the development unit has strong R & D capability, complete manufacturing process equipment, perfect test and inspection conditions, effective operation of the nuclear quality assurance system, and batch production capacity. The appraisal committee unanimously agreed to pass the appraisal.
The successful development of Dongwu Machinery's CAP1400 main steam safety valve prototype has filled the gaps in the country, possesses independent intellectual property rights, and its main technical parameters and performance indexes have reached the advanced level of similar products in the world, which can be applied to CAP1400/CAP1000 and other nuclear power projects. At the same time, it also marks that Dongwu Machinery has mastered the design technology, manufacturing technology and testing and identification technology of main steam safety valve for third-generation nuclear power units, and possesses the ability of sustainable, re-innovation and development.
