Advanced Nuclear Pump Technology | KAIQUAN Achieves 1,000 MW-Class Main Feed-water Pump Manufacturing Capability

2026-11-12 11:03:52

KAIQUAN has achieved another major milestone in nuclear pump technology, demonstrating its independent R&D and manufacturing capabilities for main feed-water pump sets used in 1,000 MW-class nuclear power plants, with key performance indicators reaching internationally advanced levels.

With extensive experience in nuclear pump engineering, KAIQUAN has independently developed and manufactured Nuclear Class 2 and Class 3 pumps for major nuclear power projects worldwide, including Hinkley Point C NPP in the UK, Chashma and Karachi NPPs in Pakistan, Tianwan NPP in China and so on. Building on this proven experience, KAIQUAN has further expanded its technical capabilities into the development and manufacturing of high-performance main feed-water pump sets for large-scale nuclear power plants.

Internationally Advanced Performance Recognized by Industry Experts

The appraisal committee was chaired by Mr. Sui Yongbin, former Chief Engineer of the China Machinery Industry Federation, and included experts from nuclear power operators, design institutes, engineering companies, and universities. Ms. Huang Li, President of CGMA, and Mr. Guo Huaqiao, Deputy Secretary-General, also attended the meeting.

Prior to the appraisal, expert representatives inspected the main feedwater pump prototype and witnessed relevant performance tests at KAIQUAN’s testing facilities.

During the meeting, the committee reviewed technical documentation, examined manufacturing and testing facilities, and conducted detailed technical discussions with the R&D team.

Following a comprehensive evaluation, the committee unanimously concluded that the main performance indicators of KAIQUAN’s main feedwater pump set had reached internationally advanced levels among comparable products, and confirmed its suitability for wider application in 1,000 MW-class nuclear power plants.
