Chapter 445 Ignite
The meeting room was completely silent, and everyone was almost holding back their excitement as they waited for Wu Tong's next speech. Wu Tong's voice was not particularly passionate or deliberately provocative. But even with such a calm tone, it had already stirred the emotions of everyone present.
After a pause, Wu Tong's voice became more serious: "Now we have mastered a complete puzzle and are fully prepared. It's time to move on to our next project. Everyone, make full preparations. The construction of the pile will officially begin today!"
As soon as the word "build reactor" was uttered, the atmosphere on the scene was immediately ignited. They had finally waited for this sacred moment. From the weak state in the past, to the difficult progress in recent years, to the current pride and pride, complex emotions flashed through the eyes of all the fusionists present, and many of them were almost in tears.
They have finally entered the construction of a demonstration reactor, and a demonstration reactor with successful technology. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the best in the world! Not even a little bit!
"Mr. Wu, has the site been decided?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
Many people were so excited that they clenched their fists to control themselves from losing their composure in front of everyone. However, everyone was impatient and their eyes were following Wu Tong with eager anticipation, waiting for her next announcement, the release of the site selection.
Wu Tong nodded in confirmation, "After much consideration, it was decided that the site for Jinwudui would be where the rivers of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei meet at the mouth of the sea."
The site selection for a nuclear power plant has very high requirements and many factors need to be considered.
According to the prevailing site selection principles based on current practical experience, water conservancy astronomy, geological and geographical conditions, transportation, power station technology, power grid laying, social and other factors must all be carefully considered.
In human energy exploration, the site selection of nuclear power plants has always attracted wide attention. First of all, in terms of geography, the entire Jinwudui site must have no fault zones passing through it in the deep, and at the same time, there must be no active faults within a few thousand meters of the site. The nearby 100 kilometers of sea and 50 kilometers inland must also be historically examined to confirm that there have been no earthquakes above magnitude 6 in history.
Taking the above into consideration, nuclear power plants are currently usually built on the seashore. This is not only a technical decision, but also a multi-faceted consideration of safety, environmental protection, geographical conditions and convenient facilities.
Compared with land, coastal areas are often larger and provide more space for layout, which helps reduce the impact of accidents on the surrounding environment and residents. At the same time, the existence of the sea provides an additional safety barrier for nuclear power plants. When the temperature of the nuclear reactor gets out of control, seawater can quickly absorb heat and slow down the rate of nuclear reaction, effectively reducing potential dangers.
The open space at the seaside helps slow down the spread of accidents to the surrounding environment. Nuclear power plants usually require a large amount of cooling water, and seawater happens to be an ideal cooling medium. Such a design not only ensures the stable operation of the reactor, but also reduces the adverse impact on the marine ecosystem.
The coastal areas not only have advantages in terms of safety and geographical conditions, but also excel in the construction of convenient facilities and transportation.
The construction of a nuclear power plant requires a large amount of building materials and equipment, and secondly, transportation. The design of the entire reactor is much more complicated than that of a fission reactor. At the beginning of its construction, the Jinwu reactor was to bear the total electricity consumption of at least the three regions of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. Its reactor core must be large enough, and the various components involved will basically not be produced locally. Instead, they must be manufactured at a fixed production site and then transported to the site for final assembly.
This is also the way the Jinwu Stellar Simulator is used. After testing and confirming the successful experience, it will continue to be used in the construction of the Jinwu Pile. The location is located at the seaside, the existence of the seaport, and the convenient large-tonnage transportation capacity make it easier to transport these components to the selected construction site, which will greatly improve the efficiency of the construction and simultaneously reduce the construction cost.
It is not easy for a country to make money. We must save what we can. Extravagance and waste have never been a principle advocated by the country. Maintaining quality and quantity and reducing construction costs are the most suitable policies for national conditions.
"The estuary is a good location. We've put a lot of thought into it, and it's cheap for Hebei Province!" No one present was too surprised that the first site was located around the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
First, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is the capital's economic circle, and the radiation from the capital of a country is necessary. Second, the Jinwu device was originally developed by Mr. Wu in Shangjing, and the experiment in the suburbs of Beijing was successful, so it was natural for it to radiate from Shangjing.
However, considering the site selection, Shangjing is not near the sea, Jinshi is too small, and taking into account the better power grid laying, the final site was chosen to be settled in Hebei Province. It is really a bargain for Hebei Province. I believe Jinshi will be jealous for a long time!
Of course, compared to the convenience and benefits brought by clean energy, people in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region will be envied by people in other provinces in the country, compared with other provinces that are waiting. People in Tianjin should still have some psychological comfort. As for the people in Shangjing, the capital, it is a pride engraved in their bones. They are the capital, and the location is in Hebei Province, so they are not to serve Shangjing!
Aside from the funny thoughts that popped up for a while, the entire conference room began to actively discuss the construction of the reactor. Finally, the preliminary engineering process was established.
"Considering confidentiality, the project will be divided into external construction and internal core construction!"
External construction is very simple, referring to the construction of the entire nuclear power plant, as well as the core, the external building of the reactor. This part will be shouldered by the Nuclear Industry Construction Group. The engineering in this area alone will be enough for the nuclear industry to survive for many years.
The most critical internal reactor core construction will be designed by Wu Tong with the most complete drawings, and the sub-components will be successfully built and finally assembled. Anti-peep and anti-destruction designs will also be added. Once disassembled, the reactor will be scrapped immediately.
This is also done well. There are external forces trying to spy on the core technology and dismantle the reversal technology. This is a protective measure. At the same time, it is also a guarantee of the safety of the reactor core. If there is an unexpected failure in the core, the entire reaction will be locked instantly, ending the fusion reaction!
This is also to prevent accidents and reaction leaks that could cause unnecessary and significant damage and economic losses, so that nuclear power plants can truly transition from the unsafety of fission to the safety of controlled nuclear fusion.
