Passive safety systems have been widely applied to advanced water‐cooled reactors, to enhance the safety of nuclear power plants. The ambitious program of the nuclear
power development in China requires reactor concepts with high safety level. For the
near‐term and medium‐term, the Chinese government decided for advanced
pressurized water reactors with an extensive usage of passive safety systems. This
paper describes some important criteria and the development program of the Chinese
large‐scale pressurized water reactors. An overview on representative research
activities and results achieved so far on passive safety systems in various institutions
is presented.
