<h2>Annual Power Generation Reaches 1 Billion Kilowatt-hours &#34;Linglong No. 1&#34; Successfully Completes Global First Cold Test</h2>
The cold performance test of &#34;Linglong No. 1,&#34; the world's first modular small reactor, was successfully completed on the 16th, laying a solid foundation for subsequent reactor loading and commercial operation.
The world's first land-based commercial modular small reactor, &#34;Linglong No. 1,&#34; is located in Changjiang, Hainan, and is the first land-based commercial modular small reactor to pass the safety review by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The cold function test completed on the 16th is a large-scale comprehensive special debugging test for nuclear power plants and represents the first comprehensive &#34;physical examination&#34; of the entire reactor's performance, ensuring safe and stable operation in the future.

Subsequently, &#34;Linglong No. 1&#34; will also carry out planned hot performance tests, critical tests, and other experimental work. Once operational, it is expected to generate 1 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, meeting the electricity needs of 526,000 households in Hainan and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 880,000 tons, equivalent to planting 7.5 million trees in a year.
<h2>Supporting Stable Delivery of Thermal Power and New Energy, Northwest's First Million-Kilowatt Peak Shaving Thermal Power Plant Commences Operation</h2>
At 8 a.m. on the 16th, the expansion project of Gansu Changle Power Plant's Unit 6 completed 168 hours of full-load trial operation and officially commenced commercial operation. With this, all six million-kilowatt coal power units of the project are now operational, marking the full completion and operation of the first million-kilowatt peak shaving thermal power project in Northwest China.

The six million-kilowatt coal power project at Changle Power Plant is located in Guazhou County, Jiuquan City, Gansu Province, with a total investment of 20.5 billion yuan. It is a key energy construction project under the national western development initiative. Units 1-4 are the first domestic thermal power project supporting the ±800 kV Qisha ultra-high voltage direct current project primarily for transmitting new energy, while Units 5 and 6 serve as self-use and peak-shaving power sources for Gansu Province. This project can support the annual delivery of 33 billion kilowatt-hours from the new energy base in the Hexi Corridor of Gansu, aiding the stable delivery of thermal power and new energy.
<h2>China's First National-Level Deepwater Oil and Gas Emergency Rescue Base Begins Operation</h2>
On October 16, the National Offshore Oil and Gas Emergency Rescue Base in Hainan was officially put into operation in Chengmai County, Hainan Province, marking the official use of China's first national-level deepwater oil and gas emergency rescue base, significantly shortening the emergency response time for offshore oil and gas incidents in the southern sea areas of China.
The newly operational National Offshore Oil and Gas Emergency Rescue Base in Hainan covers an area of over 11,000 square meters and is equipped with emergency workshops and training exercise areas. It is equipped with China's first independently developed 3,000-meter underwater emergency well sealing device and underwater oil recovery system, capable of rapid well sealing and efficient oil recovery
In recent years, the focus of global oil and gas resource exploration and development has gradually shifted from land to the ocean. However, the stock of emergency resources that can effectively respond to catastrophic incidents such as blowouts in offshore oil and gas wells is relatively low, and facilities with deep-water emergency rescue capabilities are even scarcer, with uneven distribution worldwide.

Currently, the maximum water depth for offshore drilling and completion operations in China has reached 2,700 meters, with some operations needing to deal with extreme conditions such as high temperature and high pressure in the formation, resulting in high well control risks and significant challenges. Relying on foreign teams to conduct emergency rescue typically has a response time of about 30 days. However, after the Hainan base is put into operation, domestic emergency forces can arrive at the scene within 48 hours.
The newly operational National Offshore Oil and Gas Emergency Rescue Hainan Base will rely on major deep-water projects such as &#34;Deep Sea No. 1&#34; and offshore rescue missions to enhance offshore emergency rescue capabilities, continuously improve the &#34;specialized and versatile&#34; offshore emergency rescue system, and provide critical support for the development of the national marine economy and ecological protection.
