Abstract In the early 2000s, the talk was of a so-called Nuclear Renaissance with hundreds of new nuclear plants to be ordered. We should be seeing the fruits of that now, but we are not. There have been several factors that have led to the stagnation of nuclear power industry. To revive the sector, it is important to evaluate the current status of the nuclear power industry, examine the requirements that all new power technologies in open and competitive markets must meet, and determine whether present and future nuclear-power technologies look to be capable of achieving those goals.

Chinese nuclear power standards are parallel due to a variety of technical routes and different technology source countries, resulting in a situation of multiple standards parallel in the domestic nuclear power industry. Through the comparative analysis of nuclear power standards in the United States and France, domestic electric power industry and domestic conventional thermal power industry, this paper seeks for the combination point with domestic nuclear power commissioning standard system, and combs and analyzes the existing standard system. Through industry research and data collection and analysis, combined with the technical characteristics of “Hualong-1”, the requirements and applicability elements of the commissioning standard system are determined, the framework of the commissioning standard system is optimized and improved, and the corresponding standard acquisition, formulation and revision plan of the standard system is formed, so as to guide the construction of commissioning standardization.
