China's nuclear power will shift towards a new stage of active and orderly development while ensuring safety. Against the backdrop of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, the process of clean and low-carbon transformation of China's energy and power system will be further accelerated. Nuclear energy, as a nearly zero emission clean energy, will have broader development space and is expected to maintain a fast development trend. China's independent third-generation nuclear power will achieve large-scale and quantitative development according to the approval pace of 6-8 units per year. It is expected that by 2025, China's nuclear power will have an installed capacity of around 70 million kilowatts; By 2030, the installed capacity of nuclear power in operation will reach 120 million kilowatts, accounting for approximately 8% of the country's total electricity generation.
Given the important position and development speed of nuclear power in China's energy structure, especially the significant acceleration of nuclear power construction in the past 10 years, and the increasing demand for stainless steel raw materials for nuclear power, China's current stainless steel materials for nuclear power mainly include the French RCCM standard, the American ASTM standard, and the Chinese GB standard. Currently, China's material standards mainly refer to French material standards and have made some modifications. Here, we mainly introduce the composition and mechanical performance requirements of forging, bar, and fastener raw materials for French nuclear power stainless steel nuclear power materials, mainly covering common non stainless steel materials such as stainless steel austenite, martensite, and precipitation hardening.
The main standard for nuclear power stainless steel materials (forgings, bars, fasteners) is RCCM M3301 RCCM M3306,RCCM M5110,RCCM M5120
