PLAN SCS Bases/Islands/Vessels (Not a Strategy Page)

The reason I mention this is because the islands looks to be only a couple Meyers above sea level. Most large builds like the hospitals would need foundations 5-6 Meters deep, not including basements.

Also over time there is usually settlement of several mm a year. Not significant but could a problem in the future.

Essentially if the water level is too high, it would be bad for the foundations, either concrete or steel piles.

Approximatety 50% of the Netherlands are at sea level and 25% of the Netherlands are even below sea level (The lowest point in the Netherlands is the Zuiderplaspolder at Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel. This point is 6,76 meters below N.A.P. = the average water level in the Netherlands).

The tidal range in the Netherlands are also greater than in SCS. If the Netherlands are able to manage the problem, so does China.

According to MoT, China cleared the wreckage of stranded fishing boat on Scarborough Shoal to ensure the security of navigation.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has presented the final report of its general reactor safety review of the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC)’s ACP100, a third generation nuclear reactor developed by the CNNC. The ACP100 passed the IAEA’s review.

This is the first time Chinese self-developed small multi-purpose modular reactor technology has been reviewed by the IAEA. The ACP100 is in fact the first reactor of its kind in the world to have passed the IAEA safety review, a remarkable breakthrough in global small multi-purpose modular reactor development.

The ACP100 is designed as an innovative small pressurized water reactor, adopting a passive safety system and expected to be able to work under fierce conditions and be able to deal with multiple faults to ensure prevention of radioactivity release in the early phase or in a large scale, according to IAEA experts.

They add that the ACP100 is a small multi-purpose modular reactor relying on pressurized water reactor technology. Its design, based on previous projects and lessons of the Fukushima event, is characterized by integrated structure and safety.

IAEA shoulders the responsibility of ensuring and supervising peaceful utilization of nuclear power. Its evaluation experts come from across the world. Its review reports have great reference value for the nuclear power management organizations of its 151 member countries. The review work for the ACP100, which started in July 2015 and lasted for 10 months, was focused on the ACP100’s preliminary safety analysis report.

The successful review signals the international institution’s recognition of the ACP100’s technology as beneficial for the international market. At the same time, it is a foundation for the technology’s further upgrading and acceleration of its domestic demonstration projects. Overall, the review is an elevation of Chinese nuclear power brands’ international competitive level.

How does ACP 100 relate to a ship power reactor? I suppose a ship power reactor needs to follow load requirements faster but are there other important matters?

Generally in civilian power plant, nuclear power is used as a base load supplemented by fossil fire either gas turbine or gas, coal fired GS. I imagine the same thing with ship propulsion
They have to be coupled with either GT or Diesel
Plan underway to construct the naval version of ACP 100 The output is 100 MWe e stand for electric meaning net output is 100 MW Assuming efficiency of 30% Thermal output is 350 Mw
I don't know what is the power req for Nuclear Carrier but here you go they can use a navalized ACP100S as prime mover

CNNC to construct prototype floating plant

15 January 2016

A demonstration floating nuclear power plant based on China National Nuclear Corporation's (CNNC's) ACP100S small reactor will be built by 2019, the company announced today. The move comes just days after China General Nuclear (CGN) said it will build a prototype offshore plant by 2020.

CGN announced on 12 January that development of its ACPR50S reactor design had recently been approved by China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) as part of the 13th Five-Year Plan for innovative energy technologies. CNNC today said that its ACP100S reactor - a marine version of its ACP100 small modular reactor (SMR) design - had also been approved by the NDRC as part of the same plan.

CNNC said its Nuclear Power Institute of China (NPIC) subsidiary had completed a preliminary design for a floating nuclear power plant featuring the ACP100S reactor as well as "all the scientific research work". Construction of a demonstration unit is to start by the end of this year, with completion set for 2019.

CGN and CNOOC to cooperate China National Offshore Oil Corporation announced yesterday it has signed a strategic

cooperation framework agreement with CGN. Under the agreement, the two state-owned companies plan to cooperate in the development of nuclear technology for use in offshore oil fields. The partnership will "have a strong impetus on the organic integration of the offshore oil industry and the nuclear power industry", CNOOC said in a statement. CNOOC chairman Yang Hua said the use of floating nuclear power plants will help reduce the development costs of offshore oil and gas fields.

According to CNNC, its floating plant could provide electrical power to offshore oil and gas drilling platforms, as well as help in the development of islands and remote areas. In addition to power generation, the plant could also be used for water desalination and for meeting "other diversified development needs", it said.

In addition to the 100 MWe ACP100S, CNNC has also developed smaller sizes of the reactor - the ACP10S and the ACP25S, which it says could be used singularly or in pairs to create a floating plant with optimum capacity for its intended use.

Last October, Lloyd's Register of the UK signed a framework agreement with NPIC to support the design and development of a floating nuclear power plant utilizing an SMR.

The ACP100 reactor design has been under development since 2010 and its preliminary design was completed in 2014. It is an integrated pressurized water reactor in which the major components of its primary coolant circuit are installed within the reactor pressure vessel. It is a multi-purpose reactor designed for electricity production, heating, steam production or seawater desalination.

CNNC New Energy Corporation, a joint venture of CNNC (51%) and China Guodian Corp, is planning to build two ACP100 units in Putian county, Zhangzhou city, at the south of Fujian province, near Xiamen, as a demonstration plant.
