Yang Jie saw Tu Baofeng and the others stunned, and smiled: "Hehe, we still have some influence in Eagle Sauce China, so it is relatively easy to find a team of about three hundred people to develop a small experimental reactor of thorium-based molten salt reactor on Eagle Sauce." ”

"This thorium-based molten salt reactor technology is in the hands of your company?"

Li Kaiyuan asked.

"Yes. ”

Yang Jie nodded.

"The research and development of molten salt reactors began in the late 40s of the 20th century, and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory built the liquid fuel molten salt experimental reactor in 1965, which is the only liquid fuel reactor built and operating in the world so far, and the only reactor that has successfully realized the operation of thorium-based nuclear fuel, and they have continued to develop this area until the late seventies, and they have the most technical reserves in this regard, and there are still a lot of technical talents in this area, so I gathered some people to continue research and development. ”

Yang Jie continued: "After several years of research and development, our company has mastered all the core technologies of thorium-based molten salt reactors, which I can license to the nuclear industry corporation, and then build an experimental reactor in China, and wait until various technical tests and verifications are completed before commercialization. ”

The reason why Eagle Sauce gave up this thorium-based molten salt reactor technology is mainly because thorium is not suitable for making nuclear weapons, and the military does not like such technology, and the other is that although uranium-233 from thorium-232 is an excellent fissile material, it also has much higher radioactivity than uranium-235, which will increase the difficulty level of making fuel rods, which is a very big challenge for Eagle Sauce at that time.

However, after so many years, the technical difficulties that plagued thorium-based molten salt reactors have matured with the advancement of various technologies.

Eagle Sauce's culmination of thorium-based molten salt reactor technology was the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Molten Salt Reactor Experiment, a 7.4 megawatt thermal test reactor to simulate the neutron "core" of an inherently safe superthermal thorium breeder reactor, which tested molten salt fuels for uranium and plutonium, and the pipes, core cladding, and structural components were manufactured by Hastello Nickel-N and its moderator was pyrolytic graphite, which reached criticality in 1965 and operated for four years.

A large amount of experimental data was obtained, and the design scheme of the next thorium-based molten salt reactor was studied in more than six years, but this design scheme was stopped, and then the thorium-based molten salt reactor technology was extinguished in Eagle Sauce for more than 30 years.

Many of these people involved in R&D have left the laboratory, and thorium-based molten salt reactor technology has naturally spread.

In the 90s, a director of a nuclear research center founded an energy technology company that had patents for thorium-based molten salt reactors.

Many years ago, Yang Jie bought the company that was on the verge of collapse, and continued to research and develop thorium-based molten salt reactors, and no one knew that the boss behind this inconspicuous company was Yang Jie.

Yang Jie did a very covert job in this matter, even Eagle Sauce's intelligence department did not notice about it.

The technology patents of the company, called Gaila Energy Technology, were also transferred to the hands of Huaxing Group in a special way.

Through these technology patents, Huaxing Group also replicated a 10-megawatt experimental reactor within the company, but without fuel.

The prototype of this experimental reactor came from the design plan of Oak Ridge National Laboratory in '76, but it has also been greatly improved, using the molten salt newly developed by Huaxing Energy Technology Company, and the graphite moderator has also been re-developed, the service life has been increased to ten years, and it can burn out a transuranic element.

The thorium-based molten salt reactor developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory was actually defective, in the molten salt reactor, tritium formed hydrogen fluoride, which is a corrosive and chemically active radioactive gas, and even reacted with a special nickel alloy to produce hydrogen, which would corrode faster, and this problem was difficult to solve at that time.

Experiments showed that this special alloy could adapt to the task of operating in a high temperature environment of up to 700 °C, but the experimenters designed a scheme to increase the temperature of the experimental reactor to 950 degrees, and the experiment found that the alloy material produced hydrogen in the thermochemistry of 850 °C, and the laboratory was also looking for a more suitable material, so the project was stopped.

At the same time, when the reactor cools, the fuel salts radioactively produce chemically active corrosive gases, albeit slowly, as was discovered years after the shutdown of the previous experimental molten salt reactor.

However, the company also found a special alloy material in subsequent experiments, and now Huaxing Group has been able to prepare this special alloy material by itself.

What's more, molten salt fuel reactors are not experimental, and some simple-designed, field-proven molten salt reactors have been built and have been operating at 650°C for quite some time.

Molten salt reactors do not require new scientific knowledge, and the risks involved in developing newer, larger or modular designs are very small in an engineering sense.

In fact, another reason why this technology has been ignored is because there is no need for fuel preparation, but reactor manufacturers are not doing it, because these manufacturers can usually get long-term benefits from fuel preparation, but such technology makes them unable to make money, so it is resistance, and the military cannot get raw materials for nuclear weapons from this reactor, so this technology is put into the cold palace.

After conducting research in this area, China found that it could not get these molten salt technologies and special alloy materials, so it had to give up.

In fact, Neon also obtained this technology from Eagle Sauce before, and built an experimental reactor, which almost realized the self-sustaining cycle of nuclear fuel, but soon lost interest.

One of the big reasons for this is that the experimental reactor cannot obtain weapons-grade raw materials, and the other is also limited by the material technology at that time.

Eagle sauce is also relatively loose about this technology, so he also let Yang take advantage of the loophole.

Hearing that Huaxing Group Company had built an experimental pile by itself, Tu Baofeng also opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time - how many treasures are still hidden in the hands of Huaxing Group Company?

"You kid is going around for this set of thorium-based molten salt piles in your hand!"

Li Kaiyuan also said with surprise and joy at this time.

"Hehe, I don't need such a good technical eagle sauce, then I will take it to China and use it if I have the opportunity. ”

Yang Jie said with a smile.

He glanced at Tu Baofeng and said, "Tu Dong, last year, the Nuclear Industry Group Corporation and Yingjiang's Seibu Electric Consortium signed a contract to introduce third-generation nuclear power technology, if we set up a joint venture, it won't have any impact on this project, right?"

Tu Baofeng said: "Dong Yang, if only your technology came out a few years earlier, we don't need to introduce this technology." ”

"This is also something that can't be helped, and we don't dare to make this guarantee ticket before the technical verification test is completed, saying that there must be no problem. ”

Li Kaiyuan nodded and said, "Yes, a major scientific and technological project like this should be safer." ”
