Nuclear-powered Heating 

On November 28, 2017, the "Yanlong" pool-type low-temperature heating reactor proved able to provide 168 hours of safe and continuous heating, which validated the feasibility and safety of heating from a pool-type reactor and completed the first of 3 steps in the strategy, namely "verification test, demonstration project, and commercial deployment". The reactor designed to provide heating for three office buildings was developed by the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE). The preliminary work of low-temperature heating demonstration project is being carried out in Liaoyuan, Jilin Province. 

On November 15, 2019, the Haiyang Nuclear Heating Project I, China's first commercial nuclear heating project, was formally put into operation, with a heating area up to 700,000 m2, covering the staff dormitory of Haiyang Nuclear Power Plant and some residential communities in Haiyang, Shandong Province. On November 25, 2020, the project to build China's first "zero-carbon" heating city was officially launched. It is expected to be completed in 2021, with a heating capacity of more than 200 million square meters and a heating radius of 100 kilometers, making it possible to provide nuclear heating service across the urban area of Haiyang. 

核能供熱 

2017年 11月 28日，中核集團原子能院自主研發、為原子能院三棟辦公樓提供核能供熱的“燕龍”泳池式低溫供熱堆實現安全連續供熱 168小時，驗證了泳池堆供熱的可行性和安全性，完成了“演示驗證 -示范工程 -商業推廣”三步走戰略的第一步。目前正在吉林遼源等地開展低溫供熱堆示范工程的前期工作。 

2019年 11月 15日，“中國首個核能商業供熱項目”山東海陽核能供熱項目一期正式投用，供熱面積達 70萬平方米，核電廠內職工宿舍及部分居民小區用上了穩定、清潔的核能供暖。2020年 11月 25日，中國首個“零碳”供暖城市創建項目正式啟動，預計 2021年建成，供熱能力將超過 2億平方米，供熱半徑達 100公里，實現山東海陽城區核能供熱全覆蓋。
