Chapter 1224: Visit the Xiaotangshan Nuclear Power Plant!
Kirchner was also quite pleasantly surprised when he heard that Yang Jie was willing to borrow money from Bosai to invest in the construction of nuclear power plants, "Mr. Yang, if this is the case, then we in Bosai are very welcome for you to invest in the construction of the fourth-generation nuclear power plant." β
He paused and said, "But I hope that your company can help us build a production line of nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants in China after the construction of the thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant, and also help us train the relevant technical personnel." β
Yang Jie nodded and said: "If your country agrees to hand over the 40-year operation rights of this nuclear power plant to us, we can transfer part of the technology patents and help your country train technical talents in this area." β
The country of Bosai began in nuclear technology in the 50s of the last century, developed its first nuclear power plant in the 70s, and later built two more plants, and built plants for the production of fuel and heavy water, etc., and has 6 research reactors and reactors for the manufacture of radioactive medical isotopes, and has about 200 nuclear industry facilities.
In fact, this country is still very good in the use of nuclear technology, although it is said that it still relies on Germany and Granaca in nuclear power plant technology, but it can still design the second generation of pressurized water reactor core.
However, the country does not have a complete nuclear industry chain, and since the implementation of economic liberalization policies, the current Bosai country does not have the ability to design and build its own nuclear power plants.
Now Kirchner is most concerned about the domestic energy shortage, dealing with those overseas energy giants, what is needed is the shortage of thousands of megawatts of electricity, and the technology of several existing nuclear power plants in the country of Bosai comes from Germany and Danaka, and has been under supervision under pressure from Eagle Sauce.
Moreover, these nuclear power plants are second-generation pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant technology, which is far inferior in safety compared with third-generation nuclear power plant technology and even fourth-generation nuclear thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant technology.
The plan proposed by Yang Jie can also solve the current situation of energy shortage in Bosai in a few years, which is exactly what Kirchner wants to do now.
Kirchner thought for a moment and nodded: "We can agree to Mr. Yang's request, but I hope that this large nuclear power plant can be put into operation at least the first nuclear power plant before the end of my term." β
Traditionally, the construction period of nuclear power plants is very long, and it generally takes about 5 to 6 years for a pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant to be completed and put into commercial operation from pouring the first tank of concrete.
However, the construction of the thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant has no pressure vessels and other equipment, and the construction period is greatly shortened, and the construction of the Xiaotangshan nuclear power plant took less than two years to complete the installation and commissioning of the first set of cores and generator sets, and put into trial operation, because it is the first time to formally build a commercial thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant, which still maintains a relatively cautious and slow pace, but the speed is already very amazing.
Yang Jie smiled and nodded: "We will definitely meet Mr. President's request." β
The next day, President Kirchner also eagerly dragged President ChΓ‘vez to visit the Xiaotangshan Nuclear Power Plant.
President Kirchner also asked many questions about the nuclear power plant in detail after seeing that the nuclear power plant had already begun to supply electricity to surrounding cities through the ultra-high voltage transmission network at the Integrated Management Center.
He was also very interested when he learned that Huaxing Technology Group had developed the world's largest supercritical Brayton cycle generator system for this nuclear power plant, and then visited the generator plant.
The supercritical Brayton cycle generator system has a small footprint that surprised even Kirchner.
"How did you manage to make the generator set so small?"
He looked at Yang Jie and asked.
"Let's let our technicians tell Mr. President in detail. β
Yang Jie said with a smile.
Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. has conducted a lot of research on the physical properties and heat exchange laws of carbon dioxide, and has fully mastered the physical properties and heat exchange laws of supercritical carbon dioxide.
In addition, Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. has made it no problem for the company to manufacture a high-performance supercritical Brayton cycle engine system through the research and development of high-performance materials, processing technologies and equipment such as pressure-resistant, high-temperature and corrosion-resistant for so many years.
The efficiency of the supercritical carbon dioxide power generation system is very high, and the efficiency can be higher as the temperature increases, which is a perfect match for the high-temperature thorium-based molten salt reactor.
Moreover, this generator system does not consume water and is less than half of the traditional steam power generation system, which is very suitable for cramming this system into a ship with limited space as a generator.
As a technical freak, Yang Jie naturally attaches great importance to this generator system, and has invested a lot of money in research and development over the years, and now it is finally mature.
The more Kirchner and the accompanying Polish officials learned about the supercritical Brayton cycle generator system, the more shocked they were by the strong technical strength of Huaxing Technology Group Company.
Then Kirchner and Chavez and others also visited the high-temperature electrolysis hydrogen production plant next to it, when the technicians introduced to the crowd that this electrolysis stack stacked by multiple flat plate solid oxide fuel cell standard modules maintains the electrolysis conversion efficiency of high-temperature water vapor at 75%, producing 10 tons of hydrogen per hour, and this plant has a total of two sets of such high-temperature electrolysis hydrogen production equipment!
The power consumption to maintain the operation of such a set of electrolytic reactors is very small, and the power consumption is only less than one-twentieth of the power consumption of the electrolyzer developed by Huaxing Technology Group Company.
When they heard about the hydrogen production capacity of this high-temperature electrolysis hydrogen production system, Kirchner and others were speechless for a long time.
This set of high-temperature electrolysis hydrogen production equipment makes full use of the waste heat of the nuclear power plant to produce hydrogen so efficiently, which is simply a huge increase in revenue for the nuclear power plant!
"Mr. Yang, we in Bolivar also need such an advanced nuclear power plant!"
Chavez stared at Yang Jie tightly at this time and said.
"Mr. President, isn't your country preparing to introduce Da Mao's nuclear power plant technology? β
Yang Jie opened his mouth and said.
"Their nuclear power technology is so far from yours!"
Chavez said without hesitation.
Yang Jie also smiled when he heard this, and there was no need for him to step on Da Mao's nuclear power technology here.
The thorium-based molten salt reactor technology of Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. is the fourth-generation nuclear power technology, which is not the same technical route as the third-generation pressurized water reactor nuclear power technology, and after supporting the high-temperature electrolysis hydrogen production plant, it is a big cut off the third-generation nuclear power plant in terms of revenue.
Now after seeing all kinds of advanced technology and equipment at the Xiaotangshan Nuclear Power Plant, Chavez immediately left Da Mao's nuclear power technology behind.
