Follow-up order: waste treatment plant for
the Chinese Hawaii
In April 2012, snt received a further order for a Chinese nuclear
power plant: “C2 Facility Package” is the name of the project, in
which a drying, sorting and compacting system package for units
1 & 2 of the Hainan ChangJiang nuclear power plant was requested.
this is a conditioning system, whose main components are a
drying plant, sorting station, press, barrel inspection station,
and barrel transportation system.
the Hainan ChangJiang power plant is located on the Chinese
wedding island of Hainan, which is considered the “Hawaii
of China”. the waste treatment plant will handle and condition
various dry low-level radioactive waste – e.g. gloves, paper,
cleaning cloths, plastics and repair waste from auxiliary systems
such as gas piping. the Hainan power plant has four units, is
currently under construction, and is located in the island province
of Hainan, in the south of the People’s Republic of China.

Here, too, the kick-off meeting in Beijing confronted the snt
engineers with a number of typically Chinese challenges. Getting
to the customer’s company building took time, and for Germans
it required particularly strong nerves.
the song, “nine Million Bicycles in Beijing” by Katie Melua is
no longer an entirely up-to-date description of the tense traffic
situation. today, cars and motorized rickshaws are out all over the
city. It often seems as if there is only one traffic rule: when you
overtake, whether on the left or the right, use your horn as
loudly as possible – that’s it!
Arriving safely at the customer’s offices, the first thing to do was
to find an appropriate conference room. From time to time
during the meeting, it was necessary to move to another room,
always calmly and without stress, but always on the move. And
the snt projects for the Chinese market also remain in constant
motion!
