YANTAI INTERNATIONAL NUCLEAR POWER INDUSTRY AND EQUIPMENT EXPO

About the fair

With the safe and efficient development of nuclear power and the 'going out' of nuclear energy as a national strategy, China's nuclear-power brand has joined the world's leading nuclear phalanx and entered a golden age of development. As a vital part of the nuclear-power chain, China's nuclear-power equipment manufacturing capacity now ranks first in the world and can meet the needs of more than 8 newly built units a year — reflecting how industrialization, localization and autonomy have greatly improved the sector and transformed the whole industry. Equipment is an important pillar of nuclear-power development, yet bottlenecks remain in technical capability, manufacturing levels and product stability. The China International Nuclear Power Equipment Exhibition in Beijing showcases the achievements of China's nuclear-power equipment industry, building communication and service platforms and exploring development opportunities across the chain — from nuclear and conventional islands to nuclear materials, power transmission and conversion, design, construction, operation and management, hardware and software, and nuclear safety and public acceptance. More than 20 countries and regions — including France, Germany, the UK, Finland, Italy, Russia, South Korea, Spain, the Netherlands, Ukraine and Japan — and around 500 domestic enterprises and research institutes take part, comprehensively presenting the latest nuclear-power equipment and nuclear-technology applications.

Planning the trip

• Register the badge online. Every major fair issues visitor badges in advance, and on-site registration means queueing on the busiest morning of the show. Registration usually opens one to two months out.
• Check the visa position early. China's entry rules have changed repeatedly in recent years, including visa-free arrangements for a growing list of countries and transit exemptions. Confirm what applies to your passport for this month, and ask the organiser for an invitation letter if a business visa is needed — issuing one is routine.
• Book accommodation before the dates firm up. A large fair fills its host city and rates move accordingly. Cancellable bookings made early cost less than confirmed ones made late.
• Decide which halls before you arrive. The bigger Chinese fairs run to several halls across separate phases, and walking them without a plan burns a day. Shortlist the stands you need and treat anything else as a bonus.
• Plan the follow-up, not just the visit. Business cards collected at a fair convert poorly once you fly home: quotes arrive in patchy English, samples stall, and the time difference eats a day per exchange. Deciding who handles that before you travel is what makes the trip pay for itself.
