184-Completion of nuclear power plant

Chen Chen sat in the Wrangler vehicle, quietly looking out the window.

In the sky, four huge chimneys like pillars can be seen standing silently on the horizon.

But Chen Chen knew that it wasn't actually a chimney, but a condensation tower of a nuclear power plant.

In fact, it is reasonable to say that a nuclear power plant built on the seaside does not require the existence of a condensation tower. Instead, it adopts a direct-to-straight method to directly take seawater to cool it, and then discharge the seawater that has released heat back into the ocean again.

After all, the ocean itself has a huge volume, and the water quality and temperature will not be changed by a little discharge, thus saving costs.

This is why most nuclear power plants want to be built by the sea.

As for these cooling towers, they were the product of a compromise between the two parties. Chen Chen reached an agreement with the Ministry of Environmental Protection of Namibia. In order to prevent accidents in the nuclear power plant, Blacklight Technology's nuclear power plant will have two sets of heat dissipation devices, namely seawater direct discharge heat dissipation and condensation tower heat dissipation.

At this moment, Chen Chen rushed towards the completed nuclear power plant.

After 18 months of construction, it was finally time for the Black Light Nuclear Power Plant to be ready for completion and start trial operation.

On both sides of the road, there is a high-voltage transmission tower every 100 meters. These 30-meter-high iron towers extend from the nuclear power plant to the Life Science City, and then continue to Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, and Coastal towns such as Vrozkasbaken form a unique landscape in the African wilderness.

As long as the nuclear power plant starts to generate electricity, it will be able to transmit this electricity to thousands of households.

And this once extremely busy road has become completely deserted with the completion of the nuclear power plant. After all, the end of the road is the Black Light Nuclear Power Plant, and no one will set foot here except the employees and visitors of Black Light Technology.

As the four Optimus Prime-like cooling towers got closer and closer, Chen Chen also gradually saw the gate of the nuclear power plant. At this time, a big red banner had been pulled out at the gate of the nuclear power plant, on which was written " Celebrate the official completion of the Black Light Biotechnology Namibia Nuclear Power Plant".

At the gate, there were already a group of leaders of the engineering team waiting outside, ready to welcome Chen Chen.

I heard that for this start-up trial operation, a high-level boss from China National Nuclear Corporation has arrived.

As Chen Chen's motorcade stopped in front of the gate, Chen Chen slowly got out of the car, and at the gate, the group of engineering team also came up to meet them.

"Boss Chen,

congratulations! "

Just as Chen Chen got out of the car and hadn't stood still, a bald Zhongzhou man first came up to meet him, and at the same time extended his hands enthusiastically, "Boss Chen, congratulations on the completion of your nuclear power plant!"

"No, I wouldn't be able to build this nuclear power plant without the help of you, Minister Wang, and your construction team."

Chen Chen smiled brightly, "I should thank you very much."

"Hahaha, then let's thank and congratulate each other!" The bald man looked up to the sky and laughed.

As the two talked, there were many reporters beside them who kept snapping photos. Chen Chen glanced at them. The signs of these reporters all had the words CCTV on them.

"Come, come, don't talk about what's there, I'll take you to visit the internal equipment of the nuclear power plant."

The bald man enthusiastically guided Chen Chen, "And at twelve o'clock at noon, we will start the ceremony of loading the nuclear fuel rods, and officially start the test run!"

"Then trouble Minister Wang."

Chen Chen nodded, and walked towards the interior of the nuclear power plant with the sound of snapping pictures and the crowd following.

"The Black Light Nuclear Power Plant covers an area of ​​fifteen square kilometers, of which five kilometers long and three kilometers wide, consisting of forty-two large and small buildings, including the nuclear island area, the conventional area, the supporting facilities of the nuclear power plant, the safety protection measures of the nuclear power plant, and Five parts of the living area."

While walking, the other party pointed to Chen Chen and explained, "Look, the largest building in front of you is the living area. The living area has a dedicated staff dormitory building, as well as a canteen and entertainment area, which can accommodate 5,000 employees to work and play here. Life……"

"And the huge building built on the seashore, with half of it protruding into the seawater, is the safety protection area of ​​the nuclear power plant. It can exchange heat between seawater and boiling water at a rate of more than 100 cubic meters per second, cooling down the excess temperature."

Chen Chen nodded.

The reason why seawater full of impurities can be directly used for heat dissipation is that seawater does not need to participate in any power generation operations, but is installed in pipes in the form of coolant.

The power generation principle of this nuclear power plant built by Chen Chen is that nuclear fission generates heat energy, and then uses high-pressure water to carry out the heat energy, and then uses the generator to generate steam to drive the steam turbine to rotate to generate electricity.

The water vapor that has driven the steam turbine to rotate will come into contact with these pipes containing seawater, and when suddenly cooled, it will condense and be converted into pure water again, and return to the nuclear reactor for cyclic heating.

Therefore, the seawater does not need to participate in any power generation operations, but only plays a role in cooling water vapor and will not cause any pollution.

"Look, this is the core of the nuclear power plant—the nuclear island area."

After the introduction along the way, the bald man finally led Chen Chen to the core building complex of the nuclear power plant.

As the name suggests, the nuclear island area is like an island-like building. After Chen Chen followed the other party into the building, after several turns, he went up to the second floor and entered the observation room of the nuclear reactor.

The nuclear power plant built by Chen Chen has a total of two nuclear reactors, and this is the No. 1 nuclear reactor observation control room.

In the observation control room, there were already more than a dozen staff members sitting in front of the console, and directly in front of the observation room was a huge floor-to-ceiling window about five meters long and three meters high.

"These floor-to-ceiling windows are all made of international standard ZF6 heavy lead protective glass." The bald man pointed to the glass windows, "The walls also have lead barriers. Standing here, you don't have to worry about any radiation."

Chen Chen nodded, looked along the glass, and immediately saw a huge tower-shaped machinery and equipment behind the glass. Inside, there were dozens of workers in nuclear protective suits constantly checking and repairing the equipment, looking extremely busy.

"The people inside are counting the nuclear fuel rods."

The bald man explained, "The pressurized water reactors in our Zhongzhou District have always used uranium dioxide, which was packed in a zirconium tube with a diameter of only one centimeter to make a 4-meter-long tube." Fuel rods."

Chen Chen nodded, "As far as I know, 312 fuel rods form a fuel rod assembly."

"Yes, this nuclear reactor divides the nuclear fuel rods into 3 batches, and the replacement cycle of each batch is 12 months."

The bald man explained, he looked at the time, and changed the subject, "Boss Chen, it's noon now, shall we have a meal in the cafeteria first, or install the nuclear fuel rods directly and start the test run?"

"Let's start directly." Chen Chen thought for a while, then nodded.

"Okay, let's start!"

Following Chen Chen's order, the operator in the control room immediately communicated the order to the reactor, and several employees lowered the four-meter-long fuel rods in groups of four-meter-long fuel rods on a crane-like operating machine, and placed them down towards the nuclear reactor.
