Recently, China Energy Construction Anhui Electric Power Second Company received the “Approval Letter for the Extension of the Civil Nuclear Safety Equipment Installation Permit” (Guo He An Fa [2026] No. 56) from the National Nuclear Safety Administration. The company’s civil nuclear safety equipment installation permit extension application has been officially approved, with the new certificate valid until March 31, 2031.

This substantial qualification certificate is an authoritative recognition of the company’s over twenty years of deep engagement in nuclear power and strict adherence to safety and quality standards. It also strongly affirms the company’s firm “nuclear power priority” strategy and systematic enhancement of core nuclear power capabilities, laying a solid foundation for seizing new opportunities in nuclear power development and strengthening core competitiveness.

Over the years, Anhui Electric Power Second Company has unwaveringly adhered to the “nuclear power priority” strategy, positioning nuclear power business as a priority for resource allocation, talent gathering, and management deepening. Facing an important window of national scaled nuclear power development, the company has prioritized the renewal of the civil nuclear safety equipment installation permit as a key task, coordinating strategic advancement. The permit renewal has driven capability upgrades and solidified strategic foundations through capacity enhancement. The successful approval of this permit reflects the company’s strategic resolve and execution efficiency.

Behind the permit renewal is a systematic leap in the company’s core nuclear power capabilities. In February 2025, according to the new “Technical Requirements for Civil Nuclear Safety Equipment Installation Units (2025),” the company comprehensively aligned with the new regulations and systematically addressed weaknesses based on four core elements: personnel qualifications, facilities and equipment, technical capabilities, and quality assurance systems.

In response to the stricter requirements for the number of certified nuclear-grade welders and nondestructive testing personnel under the new standards, the company relied on its talent cultivation mechanism formed under the “nuclear power priority” strategy. It coordinated specialized training and precise examination organization to achieve full qualification of key personnel by August 2025, with the number of certified personnel and project operations meeting the new technical specifications. This not only guarantees talent for permit application but also marks an important achievement in strengthening the company’s nuclear power talent team.

Organizationally, the company established a clear responsibility and coordination mechanism for special projects, efficiently completing key steps such as application document preparation, technical review responses, and on-site inspections. In January 2026, leveraging solid system operation results and standardized on-site management, the company successfully passed the on-site comprehensive inspection by experts from the National Nuclear Safety Administration, completing a critical step in the permit renewal. Throughout the process, the company deepened its nuclear safety culture, integrating the principles of “safety first, quality first,” improving the quality assurance system and nuclear safety supervision mechanisms, achieving synchronized progress in permit renewal and management upgrades.

The civil nuclear safety equipment installation permit is a core entry credential in the nuclear power construction field, with industry entry standards being extremely strict. The company’s successful renewal is fundamentally rooted in its deep accumulation over more than twenty years in the nuclear power sector: from steadily establishing a foothold in the nuclear power market, to high-quality construction of the “Hualong One” demonstration project at Fangchenggang Phase II, and meticulously building the “world’s first nuclear cooling tower” at Guangdong Lianjiang Nuclear Power Plant. The company has continuously accumulated core technologies, refined its professional teams, and improved its management systems, forging a development path based on capability and quality.

Currently, as the construction of a strong energy nation advances in depth, nuclear power’s high-quality development has entered a new stage. Anhui Electric Power Second Company will take this permit renewal as a new starting point, unwaveringly implement the “nuclear power priority” strategy, continue to consolidate its brand advantage in the nuclear field, accelerate capacity building and enhancement of nuclear island business; persistently promote nuclear safety culture, improve long-term cultivation mechanisms, strengthen communication and coordination, and continuously improve the operation and effectiveness of the nuclear quality assurance framework. The company will strive to strengthen the pillar industry of nuclear power, contributing wisdom and strength to the high-quality development of the national energy sector. (Zhu Xinli)
