To implement the work plan for "Meeting Peak Summer Demand" and "Safety Production Month", and to further enhance the safety awareness and emergency response capabilities of the project team, the Qinghai Gonghe CSP O&M Project Team organized an emergency drill for molten salt leakage on June 10.

Before the drill, the project team developed an emergency drill plan based on the actual site conditions, clearly defining the goals, content, steps, and personnel assignments for the drill. They also provided comprehensive emergency first aid training to all participants. The drill simulated a scenario where molten salt leakage caused a cable fire. During maintenance, technicians discovered a molten salt leak in the hot salt tank and suffered burns. A cable below the leak ignited, and the shift supervisor immediately reported to the emergency command center. The injured personnel were moved to the north gate of the engine room for emergency first aid, and 120 emergency services were called for rescue. The emergency command center promptly activated the emergency response plan, mobilizing professionals to the incident site for emergency response. The maintenance and emergency response team positioned themselves, used dry powder fire extinguishers to extinguish the fire, sealed the weld seam leak in the hot salt tank, and replaced the burnt cables. The medical aid team arrived on site and accompanied the injured to the hospital with the 120 rescue team for treatment. The drill was realistic and conducted in a tense but orderly manner, with participants coordinating seamlessly. The drill was a complete success.

After the drill, Project Manager Liu Baoping gave a concluding speech, emphasizing the need for the project team to continue providing emergency knowledge training to employees. He highlighted the importance of improving the emergency response capabilities of all levels of personnel in the power plant for incidents such as molten salt leakage. In addition, he stressed the necessity of combining long-term preventive management with emergency response measures to firmly prevent safety accidents like molten salt leaks from occurring.

This drill tested the scientific validity and feasibility of the project's emergency response plan, further strengthening and implementing the safety production responsibilities of all project team members. Moving forward, the project team will use this as an opportunity to conduct thorough on-site hazard inspections and remediation work, enhance the maintenance and management of on-site equipment, and improve the overall safety management level of the project site, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the units.
