Chapter 524 Transformation of Fission Nuclear Power Plant into Fusion Nuclear Power Plant

Qin Yuanqing did not say much about whether to provide desert management services to the outside world, because he believed that the relevant departments could weigh the pros and cons and handle the matter well.

At this time, Qin Yuanqing began to hold a meeting as the commander-in-chief of the 'Golden Crow Project' headquarters to discuss where to build a fusion nuclear power plant!

After all, the two experiments of the 'Golden Crow Device' were both a complete success. When conducting various studies in the scientific research center, it became a necessary and urgent matter where to build a fusion nuclear power plant. After all, controllable nuclear fusion has been successful, so what? Utilizing it is the most important thing, which means that the 'Golden Crow Project' has entered the second stage.

According to international practice, the site selection requirements for nuclear power plants are very high. According to internationally accepted site selection principles, factors such as geology, surface, meteorology, hydrology, environmental protection, civil engineering, transportation, power station technology, power grid, and society must be strictly considered.

First of all, geographically, nuclear power plants must be built in relatively remote areas of economically developed areas, and there cannot be large or medium-sized cities within 50 kilometers. It is required that no fault zones pass through the deep parts of the plant site, and there are no active faults within a few kilometers of the nuclear power plant. The plant site is 100 kilometers away from the sea and 50 kilometers inland. There has been no earthquake of magnitude 6 or above in history, and there has been no earthquake in the plant site area in 600 years. Tectonic background of magnitude 6 earthquake. From the perspective of nuclear safety, the site selection of nuclear power plants must take into account the protection of the public and the environment from excessive radiation caused by the release of radioactive accidents. At the same time, the impact of sudden natural events or man-made events on nuclear power plants must be taken into consideration. Therefore, nuclear power plants It must be chosen in an area with low population density and easy isolation.

In addition, nuclear power plants generate huge amounts of heat during operation, so the location of the nuclear power plant must be close to water sources, preferably close to the sea. This is also an important reason why large nuclear power plants are built on the seaside, and being close to the sea can also solve the problem of transporting large equipment. question. In the event of a danger, with a flat coastline and even radiation dispersion, the contaminated land area would be only half of what it would be if it were completely inland. However, while there are advantages to building on the seaside, there is also an additional risk, which is the possibility of large waves caused by tsunamis or typhoons. Breakwaters are often built to withstand the impact of large waves. However, the breakwater can only withstand a certain degree of impact. If it is a relatively large tsunami, the breakwater will be powerless and may have very serious consequences.

Of course, this is a fission nuclear power plant. As a fusion nuclear power plant, the safety is greatly improved, but because it is much larger, it will face many problems.

However, unlike other countries that need to rebuild fusion nuclear power plants, China has reserved the space and possibility of rebuilding nuclear fusion in the future due to the intervention of Qin Yuanqing when it built ten modern nuclear power plants.

So what they need to do is to select one of these ten fission nuclear power plants and transform it into a fusion nuclear power plant.

After comprehensive consideration of various factors, as well as some emotional preferences of Qin Yuanqing, the location of the fusion nuclear power plant was finally determined to be the Yunxiao Nuclear Power Plant in Shuixian City, Fujian Province!

In today's Fujian Province, the GDP of the three cities in southern Fujian all exceeds the trillion level, and the GDP of the provincial capital Rongcheng also exceeds the trillion level, which means that there are four trillion-level cities in Fujian Province, which has always been in the Chinese economic sector. Ranking fifth in the country, second only to Guangdong Province, Jiangsu Province, Shandong Province and Zhejiang Province!

The fusion nuclear power plant settled here will undoubtedly install a powerful engine for Fujian Province, allowing Fujian Province to develop faster.

Such a fusion nuclear power plant, coupled with some medium and large hydropower stations in Fujian Province, can meet the power needs of the entire Fujian Province, and can even supply electricity to Guangdong Province!

After the meeting determined the site location, the relevant person in charge soon contacted the relevant departments of Fujian Province for work coordination.

The owner of the Yunxiao Nuclear Power Plant is Hua He Guodian Narcissus Energy Co., Ltd., and its main shareholder is China Nuclear Power Co., Ltd.

Relevant documents were soon issued to the corresponding units. At the same time, relevant departments settled in the nuclear power plant, and security work was also implemented immediately. Even when the documents had just arrived at the owner's unit, a regiment-level field force had already arrived. This area has been deployed and military control over the area and surrounding areas has been completed.

Qin Yuanqing arrived at the nuclear power plant with a group of engineers from the nuclear industry group. Among them were the chief engineer of the nuclear industry group, the design leader of the nuclear power plant, the chief design engineer, the project manager of the nuclear power plant construction, the main technical person in charge, and the general manager. engineer!

"This nuclear power plant has built 12 AP1000 nuclear power units, all of which are Hualong One. The civil construction was completed by Huaxia Nuclear Industry Ersi Construction Co., Ltd., with a total installed capacity of 15 million kilowatts, an annual output value of 45 billion yuan, and an annual profit and tax of 15 billion yuan. !” The leader of the nuclear power plant introduced: “The reactor type is a pressurized water reactor, with a design life of 60 years!”

"Can the original design data of the nuclear power plant be verified with the construction site?" Qin Yuanqing looked at the chief engineer of the design unit and asked.

"Academician Qin, you can rest assured that during the construction of the nuclear power plant, there is a dedicated design team as the site representative to follow the entire construction process and ensure that the construction is carried out according to the design!" the chief design engineer said firmly and forcefully.

Qin Yuanqing and engineers from the Nuclear Industry Group conducted an on-site inspection of the nuclear power plant site and exchanged opinions on the design of the demonstration reactor.

Although it is said that the 'Golden Crow Device' can be directly transplanted in and used directly as the core reactor, after all, the existing nuclear power plants have specific conditions. Whether the direct transplantation can achieve the best performance is another matter.

At the same time, researchers and engineers who received transfer orders rushed over from major research institutions and the 'Jinwu Project' scientific research center to participate in transforming this fission nuclear power plant into a fusion nuclear power plant.

How to transform a fission nuclear power plant into a fusion nuclear power plant at the most appropriate cost is a big issue, related to the success or failure of the entire second phase of the 'Golden Crow Project'.

Economics and technology always need to be considered comprehensively to find a balance.

And it’s not just that. As the energy center of Fujian Province in the future, it can almost be said to supply electricity to the entire province. Therefore, the reconstruction of nuclear power plants alone is not enough. It also involves the integration of various high-voltage power towers and high-voltage lines. This is a big problem. project.

This major project will accumulate experience and provide help for the subsequent reconstruction of other nuclear power plants!

It can be said that the transformation of a fission nuclear power plant into a fusion nuclear power plant seems to be a point, but is actually a facet, or even a three-dimensional one, involving all aspects.

To this end, researchers and engineers transferred by Qin Yuanqing formed a team of 2,000 people, stationed specifically in Fujian Province to carry out research, investigation, and design, so as to facilitate orderly development next year.

During the preliminary research, Qin Yuanqing even took the time to return to his hometown. After all, the nuclear power station is only an hour away from his hometown. It is not far away. Qin Yuanqing is not like Dayu who visited the house three times without entering the house just to control the water. great feelings.

Gradually, as the investigation continued to deepen, more and more information was gathered. In less than a month, Qin Yuanqing gradually had a clear idea.

First of all, 12 AP1000 nuclear power units are definitely far from enough. After all, the nuclear power plants that will be renovated in the future will supply the entire Fujian Province. 12 AP1000 nuclear power units are far from enough, and AP1000 nuclear power units cannot be used. It should be magnetic fluid generator sets. After preliminary calculations, 150 magnetic fluid generator sets are needed, of which 20 magnetic fluid generator sets are used as backup units.

In this case, more than fifty kilograms of heavy water will be used a day!

It seems like a lot of heavy water, but even if the most expensive price is 4,000 yuan per kilogram, 50 kilograms of heavy water is only about 200,000 yuan. Even if it is calculated as 60 kilograms of heavy water, it is only 240,000 yuan.

However, a maximum of 240,000 yuan of fuel per day is enough for the entire Fujian Province for one day, and there is still excess for Guangdong Province.

Of course, the project is also carried out in phases. The first phase is the construction of the demonstration reactor, which is basically based on the ‘Golden Crow Device’ designed by Qin Yuanqing with appropriate optimization and modifications. The second phase is the construction of magnetic fluid generator units.

It will take up to two years to transform the entire fission nuclear power plant into a fusion nuclear power plant, and then to reorganize the high-voltage towers, high-voltage lines, etc.

The team formed by Qin Yuanqing himself is still under the leadership of the 'Golden Crow Project' headquarters, and their role is to complete the design of the entire plan, including investment, this year. We can start construction directly next year.

After the team was formed and various leaders were appointed, Qin Yuanqing left again and returned to the 'Golden Crow Project' scientific research center. It was impossible for him to convert this fission project into a fusion project and just stay at the nuclear power plant. He only needed to be responsible for the beginning and the rest. Naturally, there is a team to complete it. Otherwise, Qin Yuanqing still feels that he is not enough if he is split into two or even ten halves.

When Qin Yuanqing returned to the scientific research center, this 'Golden Crow Device' had continuously completed experiments of stable operation for 2 hours and 3 hours, and the temperature of the experiment was 100 million degrees Celsius. After the test of stable operation time, it would react Maximum room temperature test.

At the back, there are tests in various other aspects. For these tests, various materials are backed up, and there are more than one backup. Once a problem occurs in a certain part, the corresponding engineer will inspect, replace, and then repair it.

In a few years, this scientific research base will be converted into a fusion nuclear power plant according to the plan, specifically for the use of Long Province. After all, this can reuse the corresponding resources without directly scrapping them, resulting in a huge waste of resources.

As for the scientific researchers in the scientific research center, after their missions are completed, the organization will naturally make corresponding arrangements, and these will naturally take their own course!

Qin Yuanqing returned to the scientific research center mainly to deal with his own work. After all, many things require his signature to be useful!
