By the Thermal Power Research Institute, Suzhou and Shanghai Electric Power Plant Co., Ltd. to build complete "nuclear power plant made ​​WB36CN1 steel rod development and application of new research" project April 9, identified by the Commission related to the assessment of the domestic.

The project developed a nuclear power plant made ​​WB36CN1 match J607CrNiMo steel rod to achieve control of Cr technical requirements, will help improve the flow accelerated corrosion resistance of welded joints (FAC) the ability to work with steel base material WB36CN1 good match, and according to DL / T 1117 2009 "conventional island nuclear power plant welding procedure qualification procedures" and DL / T 1118-2009 "conventional island nuclear power plant Welding Electrode" for the welding procedure, developed to meet the WB36CN1 steel Welding Rods welding requirements.

Identification Committee that the results of a national initiative, the technical performance indicators and similar foreign products relatively electrode can be used for nuclear power to replace imported products with WB36CN1 steel welding, agreed to adopt scientific and technological achievements, and suggested the development of this project as soon as possible electrode put into mass production, promotion and application.
