Load Handling Equipment for Nuclear Power Plants is specialized machinery responsible for the safe loading, unloading, and transfer of nuclear fuel and related components. Its core tasks are to load new fuel into the reactor core, unload spent fuel (used fuel), and change the fuel position within the reactor core during refueling overhauls. It is a key piece of equipment for achieving safe and continuous reactor operation. The upstream industrial chain of nuclear power plant loading and unloading equipment mainly includes the research and development and manufacturing of core components and special materials. This segment focuses on high-tech barriers, such as the research and development and production of heavy machinery components, precision control systems, radiation-resistant materials, and high-end sensing equipment. Representative companies include special steel suppliers, CNC system manufacturers, and research institutes responsible for design and development. Their technical level and product quality directly determine the reliability, accuracy, and lifespan of the loading and unloading equipment, serving as the technological source and innovation foundation of the industrial chain. The midstream industrial chain is the integrated manufacturing and engineering service segment of the loading and unloading equipment, mainly responsible for integrating upstream components and technologies into complete specialized equipment systems. This includes the design, manufacturing, assembly, and testing of complete machines such as fuel loading and unloading machines, spent fuel transfer devices, and auxiliary hoisting equipment. Companies in this segment need to possess strong electromechanical integration capabilities, nuclear-grade qualifications, and extensive project experience. This segment is typically led by professional nuclear power equipment manufacturers or large equipment groups, responsible for ensuring that the entire equipment system meets the stringent safety standards and operational requirements of nuclear power plants. The downstream industrial chain directly addresses the operation, maintenance, and fuel cycle management of nuclear power plants. This primarily includes equipment procurement, installation, and commissioning for nuclear power plant owners (operators) during the construction of new units, as well as regular maintenance, upgrades, and technical support services for equipment in in-service units. It also involves the connection with downstream nuclear fuel cycle facilities, such as the handling of spent fuel after off-site transfer. This segment emphasizes holistic solutions, full life-cycle services, and safe operation management, and its needs are directly influenced by nuclear power plant construction planning, refueling and overhaul plans, and nuclear fuel policies.
