Nuclear Industry China 2026（NIC2026）

The 18th China International Nuclear Industry Exhibition

 

The Nuclear Industry China Exhibition is the longest-established, largest -scale, most influential, and highest-level international professional exhibition in China's nuclear industry field. In 2024, the exhibition area exceeded 16,000 square meters, and more than 110 well-known domestic and foreign enterprises participated in the exhibition. With the development of the nuclear industry, it is expected that the number of exhibitors will further increase in NIC2026, and the exhibition area may also expand, attracting more nuclear industry-related enterprises, scientific research institutions, etc. from around the world to participate.

 

Exhibition Scope

- Advanced Nuclear Power Technology and Equipment: At the NIC2024 exhibition, models of the Hualong One and Linglong One were on display. By NIC2026, in addition to the further optimized display of these mature technologies and equipment, there may also be the display of design schemes of new nuclear power units and key equipment components. For example, the latest achievements of small modular reactors, as well as relevant equipment for the application of high-temperature gas-cooled reactors in more fields.

- Nuclear Fuel Cycle: With the global emphasis on the innovative development of the nuclear fuel cycle, NIC2026 may showcase more advanced nuclear fuel production technologies, reprocessing technologies, and related equipment, such as more efficient uranium enrichment technologies and new types of nuclear fuel elements.

- Application of Nuclear Technology: The application of nuclear technology continues to expand in industries such as industry, medicine, agriculture, and environmental protection. In NIC2026, the exhibition may showcase more new technologies, new equipment, and new application cases of nuclear technology in precision medicine, non-destructive testing, food preservation, and other aspects.

 

Concurrent Activities

In NIC2024, activities such as the science popularization exhibition "Nuclear Science and Technology Empowering a Better Life" and the awarding ceremony of the National Nuclear Science Popularization Education Base were held concurrently with the exhibition. These activities may continue and be enriched in NIC2026. For example, more specialized academic forums may be held, inviting experts, scholars, and enterprise representatives from the global nuclear field to jointly discuss the cutting-edge technologies, development trends, and challenges faced by the nuclear industry; more interactive science popularization sessions may be added to enable the public to have a deeper understanding of the nuclear industry.

 

Display of Industry Trends

- Digitization and Intelligence: The achievements of digitization and intelligence in the nuclear industry have already been displayed to some extent in NIC2024. This trend will be more obvious in NIC2026, with more displays of digital management systems for nuclear power plants, intelligent operation and maintenance technologies, and robot applications, which will improve the production efficiency and safety of the nuclear industry.

- Display Related to Nuclear Fusion: The research on controllable nuclear fusion is accelerating globally. At the 2026 exhibition, there may be the latest achievements of China's experimental nuclear fusion reactors on display, as well as the exploration and research and development achievements of relevant enterprises on the key technologies and equipment in the nuclear fusion industry chain.

 

International Cooperation and Exchange

As an important platform for global nuclear industry exchanges, NIC2026 will continue to promote international cooperation and exchanges. On the one hand, Chinese nuclear industry enterprises will have more opportunities to showcase their technologies and products and expand into international markets; on the other hand, it will also attract more international advanced enterprises and technologies to enter China, promoting greater openness and cooperation in the global nuclear industry and jointly addressing energy and environmental challenges.
