Chapter 35 Nuclear Power Plants
The bombing mission was completed on schedule, but this was not enough. In order to prevent the United States from jumping the wall and trying to fight the alliance and the Soviet Union feeling threatened to change their diplomatic strategy.
Rhine decided to carry out the threat in one step. She wanted to directly create the most powerful weapon in human history, the 'nuclear bomb'.
It is not difficult for Rhine to manufacture a nuclear bomb. The principles and specific processes are all in her mind. She extracted these processes a long time ago and distributed them to other members of the alliance for industrial construction.
Among them, the centrifuge required for the manufacture of enriched uranium has an international reputation for civilian nuclear power generation. For this reason, she actually built a large nuclear power plant in Czechoslovakia.
She is now looking at the huge chimneys inside the newly completed power station.
In fact, these things are not chimneys, but condensation towers of nuclear power plants. Generally speaking, nuclear power plants built by the sea do not need such facilities as condensation towers.
Because the method of cooling with seawater and then discharging the seawater that has absorbed superheat can save a lot of cost.
Unfortunately, Czechoslovakia is inland, and rivers alone cannot support the heat dissipation of a power station of this size, and considering the safety of civil water, it is necessary to build a condensation tower.
But even if the river cannot be used as the main means of heat dissipation, it is still no problem as an auxiliary.
The reason why it can dissipate heat from an external water source full of impurities is because the external water does not soak into any internal equipment, but is stored in the pipes in the form of coolant.
The heat energy produced by the fission will be carried out by the water under high pressure, and the heat exchanger will generate steam and drive the turbine blades of the steam turbine to generate electricity.
The high-temperature water vapor that completes the driving task will come into contact with the pipes equipped with cooling water, and will be re-condensed and transformed into pure water when it is suddenly cooled, and will flow through the nuclear reactor through high-pressure circulation for heating.
The name of this nuclear power plant is Kosice Nuclear Power Plant, and the name is the name of the local city.
The city has a complex railway system and a large airport under construction. It is a large city with a large demand for electricity. At the same time, the city is also the European Capital of Culture. It is expected that the future development of tourism will be good.
The total construction time of the Keshice Nuclear Power Plant is 20 months, and it has been completed and entered the trial operation stage.
On both sides of the broad road, there is a large high-voltage transmission tower every 30 meters. These [-]-meter-high steel towers continue from the nuclear power plant to Kosice, then to the railway, the airport, and finally to Sokovia.
As long as nuclear power plants start to generate electricity, a steady stream of electricity will enter thousands of households along with transmission towers.
The wide avenue along the way seemed a bit deserted. After all, the nuclear power plant ended at the end of the road, and no one could come here except engineers, workers and some leaders.
After getting out of the car, several project leaders and engineers were already waiting at the door.
A balding middle-aged man walked up to Rhine, who had just stood still, bent slightly in two steps, and warmly stretched out his hands to say hello, "Miss Rhine, hello, thanks to you, we don't have to worry about it." The electricity is worrying."
Holding his hand, Rhine showed a formulaic smile, "You are too polite, the workers and materials are all provided by you, we just provided the technology."
"Haha, what's wrong with you and us now, we are all members of the alliance now, let's thank each other."
Following the conversation between the two, the reporters who had been prepared to be nearby kept taking pictures. Rhine turned her face slightly sideways when the flash was flashed, her brows were slightly frowned, and there was a hint of impatience in her eyes.
The person in charge noticed this situation and said quickly, "Come on, don't talk about these outsiders, I will take you to see the situation inside the nuclear power plant."
While walking, the person in charge explained, "The Keshice Nuclear Power Plant is six kilometers long and four kilometers wide, covering a total area of 24 square kilometers. It consists of 46 buildings, including the conventional area, nuclear island area, supporting facilities of the nuclear power plant, and safety protection measures. and living quarters."
There is no need to say more about the conventional area, but it is necessary to say something about the nuclear island area, which includes the reactor plant, nuclear fuel plant, nuclear auxiliary plant, electrical plant and emergency power plant.
Of course, the nuclear island area is not a real island, but a building similar to an island. With the advancement of everyone's footsteps, the nuclear reactor observation room arrived.
"This is the observation room of the No. [-] reactor. All the floor-to-ceiling windows are the highest standard heavy lead protective glass." The person in charge pointed to the wall next to it and said, "The wall next to it also has a lead isolation layer, so it will not receive any radiation at all."
Looking in through the glass, there are more than a dozen workers in protective clothing doing something inside, and it looks extremely busy.
"They are counting the fuel rods." The person in charge explained, "The pressurized water reactor inside uses uranium dioxide, and they are all installed in zirconium tubes with a length of four meters and a diameter of one centimeter. A fuel rod assembly consists of 312 fuel rods. Rods, and the replacement cycle of each batch of fuel rods is 12 months."
How about the technology inside? Rhine knew more than the person in charge who had heard superficially from the engineer's mouth. She raised her hand to interrupt him and said directly.
"Okay, let's start installing nuclear fuel rods for trial operation."
"Uh, okay."
As the order was issued, the operator in the control room immediately transmitted the order to the reaction room, where several workers manipulated a small gantry crane to lift the fuel rods and place them in the nuclear reactor.
"The circuit has been filled with water, and the heating experiment is performed..."
"The experiment was successful, and the current reactor pressure is 20 MPa, which has reached the predetermined parameters."
Next, Rhine watched these workers continue to carry out busy operations, and as their operation data was constantly updated, it became an indicator of expected power generation.
After more than an hour of testing, the operator brought over the paper with densely packed data, and Rhine took over the document and casually flipped through the key data.
For example, whether there is a tripping time, the maximum shaft shock of the steam turbine, the hydrogen leakage rate of the generator, and whether the input rate is 100%.
"Good job, ready for full load test run."
According to the expected plan, the full-load test run will last for one week, and it can be officially put into use as long as everything is normal during the run.
For the staff inside, most of them are engineers sent by Czechoslovakia to study, and they can basically maintain the operation of the nuclear power plant. The three engineers sent by Rhine are to deal with possible failures and teach them by the way.
The construction of nuclear power plants can be said to have a lot of benefits. First, the simplest power problem can be solved, and second, in the long run, thermal power plants with serious air pollution can be phased out.
Spare manpower and excess pollution indicators are given to the steel and cement industries. After all, the energy released by the complete fission of 1g of uranium is equivalent to the energy produced by the combustion of 2.8 tons of standard thermal coal.
The fully installed nuclear power plant with two reactors is expected to provide 170 million kilowatts of electrical energy, which is expected to ensure high-quality electricity supply for 180 million people.
And the nuclear power plant can also be expanded until one nuclear power plant can fully supply electricity for the transportation cities on the edge of Kosice and Sokovia.
"Okay, sir, I am very satisfied with the operation of the nuclear power plant. You can contact the members of the council. I have something important to tell them."
"Council? Miss Rhine, you might as well tell me about the matter first, and I will tell the superior."
Rhine was about to leave, but after hearing his words, he hesitated and said, "Okay, tell your superiors that Sokovia has completed the research and development of nuclear bombs, and the only thing left is highly enriched uranium."
"Oh, okay, the research and development of the nuclear bomb is completed... Uh, the nuclear bomb?"
"Yes, let's report now."
Regardless of the others who were still being deceived, Rhine left the nuclear island area straight away. She checked the booster power station and left immediately after confirming that it was also operating normally.
