During the 2026 sessions of the National People's Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee, the concept of "Artificial Intelligence Plus" (AI) became a key topic, sparking active discussions among deputies and members. The Government Work Report proposed deepening and expanding the "AI Plus" initiative, accelerating the deployment of next-generation intelligent terminals and intelligent agents, promoting the commercialization and large-scale application of AI technologies in key industries, and developing new business formats and models based on AI technologies. Lu Tiezhong, a member of the CPPCC National Committee, Assistant to the General Manager of China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), Secretary of the Party Committee, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of China National Nuclear Power Company (CNNP), presented a detailed analysis of the synergistic development of nuclear energy and computing power for AI.
As AI technologies rapidly develop, demand for computing power is exploding, which in turn is driving ever-increasing electricity consumption. Nuclear energy, as a stable, clean, and low-carbon energy source, is becoming a key pillar of power supply for the AI industry. Lu Tiezhong noted that many leading Chinese and international internet giants and high-tech companies are actively seeking cooperation with nuclear industry leaders and are even investing in nuclear power plant construction themselves. This is due to the unique advantages of nuclear energy: long-term stable operation, zero carbon emissions, and high efficiency and reliability.
At the same time, AI technologies are giving new impetus to the transformation and modernization of the nuclear industry itself. CNNC has already created a number of digital platforms covering big data analysis, AI applications, and industrial safety management, significantly enhancing the level of intelligent operation and risk prevention at nuclear power plants.
"From power generation to demand-side coordination, AI technologies not only facilitate the transition of nuclear power to intelligent operation but also help data centers optimize energy consumption, ensuring positive synergies between the energy and digital industries," emphasized Lu Tiezhong. He believes that nuclear power and the computing industry must be deeply integrated to create a stable and efficient energy grid that will lay the foundation for a green and intelligent era.
Of particular note is the fact that China's third-generation nuclear technology, Hualong One, developed under the coordination of CNNC, is constantly being improved. Version 2.0 has already achieved a qualitative leap in safety systems, modular construction, and intelligence, providing a reliable technological foundation for the integration of digital technologies into the nuclear industry.
