mushroom?
Every word Gu Qing said was studied carefully by senior executives. When hearing this special word, some people with quick thinking suddenly became short of breath.
Has this step even been considered?
“Of course, the project of building a nuclear power plant is not something we can just do now. As a key project in Daxia, nuclear power projects are all planned by Daxia officials and must obtain approval from the official Energy Bureau before preliminary work can be carried out.
Generally, it takes several years from planning to approval. Only after official approval can we start construction.
For our first large-scale commercial nuclear power plant in Daxia, the preliminary preparations took five years to complete the site selection.
At present, if a high-standard nuclear island reactor building is to be built, the total steel bar requirement according to official data is about 13,000 tons. Taking into account the reactor building, safety plant, fuel plant, auxiliary plant, etc., the total amount of steel bars can exceed 38,000 tons.
There is also the dome of the nuclear power plant, which is equivalent to three and a half standard basketball courts and weighs about 200 cars. Needless to say, the difficulty of hoisting is very high.
After the installation phase is completed, we still need to install equipment. The main nuclear power equipment such as steam generators and reactor pressure vessels need to be carefully installed and debugged one by one.
The good news is that fifty years ago, all of these equipment had to be imported, but now Daxia's industrial level has advanced by leaps and bounds, and all equipment for nuclear power construction can be domestically produced. The very few that do not require localization are simply due to production costs. The problem is that it does not need to be made nationwide.
After debugging is successful and the cold function test is completed, the hot function test can be started. The temperature of the primary circuit in the cold test is about 35 to 70 degrees Celsius, and in the hot test it can be as high as 300 degrees Celsius.
After these projects are completed, the nuclear power unit can usher in the first loading operation, loading the nuclear fuel assembly into the reactor pressure vessel, and the nuclear power unit has since entered the main system nuclear debugging stage.
The blue pool that appeared in the film and television works began to work at this time. When the reactor reaches a critical state and the nuclear steam is used to successfully spin the turbine, it means that we have our own stable energy source. "
Gu Qing's explanation, combined with the PPT content, is easy to understand, as if building a nuclear power plant is as simple as that.
However, some of the higher-ups in scientific research posts who had some knowledge of this aspect frowned.
So the construction of a nuclear power plant requires more than just such a simple link. The theories and talents in the two cutting-edge industries of nuclear physics and radiation physics are necessary.
Secondly, as a nuclear power plant that generates energy, it naturally requires thermal engineering, materials science, and mechanical manufacturing. The large aspect of generating and transmitting electric energy also requires electromagnetics, electromechanics, and electric energy transmission. Nowadays, ordinary people's nuclear fear sentiment is not low, so they also need sufficiently safe and high-end radioactive monitoring and safety engineering equipment.
Mining and water smelting in the upstream industries of nuclear power plants, and nuclear chemical material processing in the downstream industries are not simple matters that can be solved by investing money.
Gu Qing seemed to know what these people were thinking. He turned to the next page of the PPT and said: "According to the requirements of Daxia Nuclear Power, if we want to recruit relevant nuclear power practitioners, we also need to recruit people who have participated in and passed the basic theory of nuclear power. If graduates of the management training course and other staff do not study and pass this assessment, they will not be able to engage in nuclear power-related work.
Therefore, it is not easy to find staff. At the same time, the upstream and downstream industrial chains that rely on the materials for nuclear power plant construction and subsequent use of nuclear power plants are extremely complicated, and it is impossible for our company to handle them. "
At this point, Gu Qing changed his tone and said, "But we don't do it just because we know it's difficult?"
“We can even break down the hard nut of semiconductors and even send satellites into the sky, so why are we afraid of a nuclear power plant project?
The upstream and downstream industries of nuclear power actually have certain complementarities and synergies with our company's major industries. Even some of our partner companies and institutions are engaged in nuclear power-related business operations and research.
I think that as long as we are willing, we want to do it, and the government agrees and approves it, then the nuclear power plant project should be one of the easiest large projects to complete. "
This kind of tone, which is similar to that of Tu Qiong Ding Jian, made many senior executives feel nervous.
Then Gu Qing continued: "With the construction and operation of nuclear power plants, only after we participate in the entire process will our energy R&D personnel have enough foundation in the nuclear energy field to support them moving forward.
Don’t forget what you learned in high school. Nuclear energy is also called atomic energy. It is the huge energy released when the structure of the atomic nucleus changes, including two main forms: fission energy and fusion energy.
At present, nuclear power generation uses fission energy. The energy conversion in the entire process is from nuclear energy to thermal energy, thermal energy to mechanical energy, and mechanical energy to electrical energy.
But once we master nuclear fission, we can more easily move towards nuclear fusion.
In the mass-energy equation E=mc^2, E represents energy, m represents mass, and c represents the speed of light, that is, mass and energy can be converted into each other in this way, and nuclear fusion is the fusion of two light elements. into a heavy element.
The mass lost in nuclear fusion is greater than that in nuclear fission. According to this formula, we can clearly see that the energy released by nuclear fusion is greater than that in nuclear fission.
In fact, the solar flare phenomenon we looked at before, the star Sun, is nuclear fusion, so in the scientific community, scientists regard nuclear fusion as a necessary energy source for future society.
If we can control this energy, we can get rid of the current energy crisis and environmental pollution crisis of Blue Star.
Of course, these are easy to say, but they are naturally very difficult to do. Nuclear fission, which is much easier than nuclear fusion, is not a project that Guo Jia can do. Although nuclear energy is very powerful and of great significance, it is 'controllable'. Two words are too difficult to do.
Whether it is Daxia or the United States, or France or Neon, current nuclear engineers have only basically achieved controllable nuclear fission. Even this basic controllability is based on the fact that the environment is safe enough and there is no nuclear fission during the working period of the nuclear power plant. Under the premise of encountering any natural crisis or man-made crisis.
I don't want our nuclear project to have an accident like Neon, otherwise our company would have to sell technology and equipment, and we would owe a lot of favors to get the resources to deal with pollution harmlessly. "
Everyone in the conference room nodded after hearing this.
Then, everyone seemed to have thought of something, and fell into a short and strange silence.
February is over and normal spring temperatures are finally returning.
