Chapter 1145: Nuclear Island Poured!

The time has unconsciously turned to this day in mid-March, but Yang Jie appeared on the side of Xiaotangshan in Ronghua County, Central Plains Province.

This time, he mainly came to attend the pouring ceremony of the nuclear island of the first phase of the thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant invested and built by Huaneng Technology Group Company in China.

Song Xinyang also rushed over to participate in person this time, and Yang Jie, who had been in Central Plains Province during this time, had to show up to participate in this ceremony.

Tanya is about to give birth, Yang Jie basically stays in Central Plains Province during this time, rarely goes anywhere, and he does not participate in many meetings and activities that are not very important.

In fact, the internal management system of Huaxing Technology Group Company has been done very well, and many details do not need Yang Jie to ask too much, now he should consider strategic things, plus he also wants to spend more time with his family and children, so he will not reappear for a long time.

Soon after the establishment of the joint venture company, Huaneng Technology Group Co., Ltd. also signed a contract with the Central Plains Province to invest in the construction of a 2,000 MW thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant.

Huaxing Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd. and Zhongyuan Province have also carried out a lot of publicity on the thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear technology, and the technical experts of Huaneng Science and Technology Group have also done many expert lectures and popular science, which has also made many people in Central Plains Province and China have an understanding of this nuclear power technology, so that the Central Plains Province has not encountered much opposition to the thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant project.

Because the thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant uses the second-generation thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power technology that is very mature by Geira Energy Technology, the central government also quickly approved the project.

The first phase of the Xiaotangshan thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant will build three generating units with an installed capacity of 600 megawatts.

In fact, Huaneng Technology Group is still very cautious about the technology of the thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant, and it is also based on the technical strength of Geira Energy Technology Company and Huaxing Technology Group Company to design and formulate the construction plan of this nuclear power plant.

The 200 MW full-scale third-generation molten salt reactor designed and built by Geira Energy Technology has been in operation for more than half a year, and has successfully completed the technical experiments of 168 hours of full-load demonstration operation, high-temperature molten salt online cleaning and nuclear waste separation and recovery.

Although the 200 MW demonstration reactor has not yet been installed with Brayton cycle generator sets and other systems, and has not yet generated a kilowatt-hour of electricity, these domestic nuclear technology experts are very excited - the design technology of the third-generation thorium-based molten salt reactor core is undoubtedly very successful!

The R&D team of Huaneng Technology Group is also very confident that the third-generation thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power technology can be commercialized within ten years.

Although Geira Energy Technology did not build a large demonstration reactor at the second-generation thorium-based molten salt reactor experimental reactor, but only built a small experimental reactor, it has been in operation for more than seven years, and the start-up fuel for this experimental reactor is still obtained from university laboratories.

However, the company and technical team that Yang Jie acquired and funded fully mastered all the key technologies of the second-generation molten salt reactor, obtained hundreds of technical achievements, formed more than 2,000 technical reports, and applied for more than 300 invention patents.

On this basis, Huaxing Technology Group has also realized that all key materials have been localized, and all key equipment have been independently developed, so there is the result of the successful trial operation of the third-generation molten salt reactor full-scale demonstration reactor.

At present, Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. has begun to carry out various tests in this test center for the high-power Brayton cycle generator unit designed and manufactured by itself, and it is expected that the test will not be completed until the beginning of next year, but the nuclear power plant can start construction first.

It is precisely because of this that the central government also quickly approved the application of the Central Plains Province to build the first second-generation thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant.

The nuclear power construction group company that undertook the construction of this nuclear power plant also acted very quickly, and the foundation of the nuclear power plant was excavated in a few months.

The nuclear island part of this nuclear power plant is to be built at a depth of more than 10 meters underground, so the nuclear power construction group company has also excavated a large foundation with a depth of more than 30 meters.

Yang Jie also accompanied Song Xinyang and others to wear a helmet and take the elevator down to the foundation, at this time various reinforcement and waterproof measures have been done under the foundation, and at the same time, the reinforcement of the foundation of the nuclear island raft foundation has been tied, waiting for the pouring to begin.

Because the volume of the thorium-based molten salt reactor is much smaller than that of a traditional nuclear power plant, the area of the excavated underground building foundation is not particularly large, and it is much smaller than the nuclear island plant built on the ground, and the entire underground building covers an area of only more than 10,000 square meters.

Song Xinyang listened to the reports of Song Yongjie and others, and when he heard that the factories under Huaneng Technology Group Company and other factories in China had prepared all the equipment in place, he also nodded frequently.

He glanced at Yang Jie and said with a smile: "How do I think you are not very interested?"

Yang Jie smiled: "We even got the third-generation thorium-based molten salt reactor demonstration reactor, and I hope that the nuclear power plant in front of me is the third-generation technology." ”

Song Xinyang smiled and said, "Things always have to come step by step!"

After a while, Song Xinyang also spoke: "Unit 1 of the Shanmen Nuclear Power Plant has already started pouring the first tank of concrete on the nuclear island before your nuclear power plant, I think your thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant is much smaller, can you finish it in front?"

"Chief, we are very confident in this. ”

The head of the nuclear power construction group said with a confident face.

The Sanmen Nuclear Power Plant is the third-generation pressurized water reactor nuclear power technology introduced by the National Nuclear Industry Corporation and the Eagle Sauce Seibu Nuclear Power Group, and is also the world's first AP1000 nuclear power plant.

The state has also spent a lot of money to introduce technology from the Seibu Nuclear Power Group Company, and has also signed an agreement to build a nuclear power plant, and now Huaneng Technology Group is a joint venture between Huaxing Technology Group and domestic nuclear power giants.

Yang Jie said: "We are not only confident that we can complete the construction of power generation in the front, but also have the confidence that the construction cost of the nuclear power plant will be greatly reduced, so that our domestic nuclear power technology can be exported abroad to make money." ”

Song Xinyang nodded with a smile and said, "It's a good thing that you have confidence! But this project must also be foolproof and absolutely safe." ”

Song Yongjie said: "Please rest assured that we have designed and built this nuclear power plant in accordance with the strictest standards, many of which have exceeded the most advanced international standards. ”

A large number of standards for this set of thorium-based molten salt reactors are formulated by Geira Energy Technology, and Yang Jie attaches great importance to safety, and Gaila Energy Technology naturally attaches great importance to safety, and many of the standards formulated exceed the existing international standards for nuclear power plants.

Song Xinyang also nodded after hearing this.
