The nuclear power plant in the secret factory uses a pressurized water reactor with the same technology as the Humpback Whale.

The reactor power is amplified, and the fuel rods are enriched uranium with a purity of 60%.

In industrial design, the scale of a product is enlarged, and the difficulty involved is by no means on the drawing, just make the details of each part larger. Huaxing Heavy Industry, the industrial representative of Zhongyun City at the beginning, made such a basket.

They changed the complete set of drawings for the 190-ton mining truck, which they bought from abroad, to 240 tons. As a result, there are many problems and problems.

These problems are placed on mining trucks, which may be oil leakage from the gearbox, large brake spacing, or insufficient power system adjustment and power consumption.

Domestic automobiles or engineering vehicles have been groped step by step in this way.

But when it comes to nuclear power plants, these small problems can lead to serious and fatal nuclear leaks.

The Humpback Whale's ship's reactor, the blueprint is derived from a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, has an output of 270,000 kilowatts. The nuclear power plants used in factories today have 20 times the output power of a single unit.

This is not a problem that can be solved by magnifying the volume twenty times.

It's like a truck engine, a 50-horsepower engine and a 500-horsepower engine, the difference in volume is usually only two or three times like this.

As is the case with nuclear reactors, the volume used in the plant has not become much larger. The biggest change is the volume change of the internal fuel rods. The Humpback Whale carries a total weight of no more than 300 kilograms of nuclear fuel, and it can operate without interruption for 26 years.

The plant's nuclear power plant has four reactors with a total weight of nearly ten tons of nuclear fuel and a service life of only eight years.

On the one hand, the purity of the fuel rods used in the factory is only 60%, which is 30% worse than that used by the Humpback Whale. On the other hand, the plant nuclear power plant needs to heat more volume of cooling water in the primary and secondary circuits.

Only in this way can it provide a sufficient power source for the ultra-supercritical engine of the plant's nuclear power plant.

If you change to another nuclear energy company, you dare to scale up the marine reactor to the nuclear power plant, and just wait for a major nuclear accident to occur. changed to the giant beast industry to do this, but there was no risk at all.

The core principle of nuclear power plants has been thoroughly eaten by monsters, and when building marine reactors, academician Liu Xuetao of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has also provided a large number of technical information on commercial nuclear power plants. The rest is nothing more than nuclear fuel rod shell materials, pressure-resistant shell materials, pipes, critical unit materials.

Needless to say, the importance of metal materials is the easiest to solve for the Behemoth industry.

……

After the thirty monsters methodically set up the gas centrifuge unit in series, they immediately moved to the secret factory behind the Suotu rainforest to install the reactor of the nuclear power plant.

In the secret factory, an underground "containment" with a higher safety standard than the gas centrifuge plant opposite has already been built.

All the excavation was carried out by the angry miners, a massive "containment" 30 meters underground, with a total of four reactors and 10 ultra-supercritical generating units. If you let Academician Liu Xuetao, one of the leaders of Huaxia commercial nuclear power plants, see the scene in front of him.

He will definitely be furious, and will not hesitate to reprimand the giant beast industry, and treat [safe production] as a child's play.

Only one reactor can be placed in a pressure-resistant shell, and the generator set and the reactor are placed separately, which is the most basic industry hard rule. Otherwise, if any of the reactors have an accident, the remaining three reactors will not be able to run away, and can only be destroyed together.

The monsters don't care about this, all nuclear power plant accidents, except for the irresistible causes of the tsunami and earthquake, are all caused by the negligence of personnel and the failure to strictly abide by the operating rules.

This kind of thing doesn't happen here with monsters.

In the Sotu Rainforest, both the managers of the factories and the general Mopu who leads the place.

We all know that behind the rainforest, there is a secret factory.

The management of the factory can vaguely know that the secret factory is specialized in handling calcium-uranium mica ore.

Calcium uranium mica is purified into uranium, which is associated with monazite mines that produce rare earth metals, and a small amount of calcium uranium mica is present in the mining area of the plant. Behind the more radiant rainforests, the amount of calcium-uranium mica ore will only increase.

Of course, being able to guess that the secret plant was mining calcium-uranium mica does not affect the daily work of these management.

It is not illegal to mine calcium-uranium mica, and many foreign mining giants have such operations. Moreover, the primary purification of calcium uranium mica [uranium ore powder] itself is an industrial product that can be supervised and circulated in the mineral market, with a spot price of 500 yuan per kilogram.

Including many ore collectors in China, they like to collect beautiful calcium-uranium mica ore.

The ability to mine calcium-uranium mica, and the ability to purify uranium ore into enriched uranium, are two different concepts. It's like mining iron ore in an ore field, and there is no technology to turn it into a car.

The uranium mining site behind the rainforest may be used to sell money after mining, anyway, there are several projects of the giant beast industry, all of which have in-depth cooperation with the military industrial system, and the relationship is very hard.

They just don't know that those monsters have been so bold as to refine a lot of enriched uranium.

Of course, even if you know, it doesn't matter, this kind of thing is also in the hands of the state.

……

The installation work lasted for two days, and Ye Qing also stayed in the factory for two days.

Ye Qing stood in the operation room with anti-radiation treatment, and watched through the leaded glass observation window as the monsters installed the four reactors in place, and then connected them in parallel with the secondary circuit cooling water and the ultra-supercritical unit.

Everything is ready, all you have to do is put in the fuel rods.

In the past two days, Ye Qing has also been flipping, and Academician Liu Xuetao provided the technical information to the giant beast industry.

According to the data, the most important step in a commercial nuclear power plant is the first placement of fuel rods. Because once the fuel rods are put in, the nuclear power plant will officially enter the working state, and the reactor will not stop working until the fuel is released.

When it comes to the first launch of all systems, the preparation cannot be overstated.

The safety manual strictly marks more than 300 pre-start-up safety inspection procedures and 17 pipeline tests except for the reactor.

The overall process requires a month-long inspection and testing of the entire staff of the nuclear power plant.

Ye Qing was flipping through the information, and at some point, a delicate master knocked on the door and entered.

"Boss, the Giant Laborers have brought in the fuel rods. We can put the fuel assembly into the reactor pressure shell. ”

"Have you checked all the programs?" Ye Qing flipped through the information a little big, and simply pushed these materials in front of the exquisite master.

"I just looked at it, and it's fine. The delicate master casually flipped through the two pages, and quickly threw them aside, "Boss, don't read these materials." Believing this, we might as well switch to burning anthracite. ”

"Then just put it away?"

"That's right. Master Delicate was very considerate and helped Ye Qing close the thick safety manual on the table.

"Boss, absolutely can't blow up. ”

"Hmm...... Then let it go, I'll go out first, and in two hours I'll come in again. ”

Dozens of minutes later, Ye Qing rose from the ground on the lord battleship.

Next to the reactor, a delicate master in a protective suit, like a screw, screwed the fuel rods into the fuel assembly completely by hand.

The fuel rods are densely screwed into the assembly, like a pile of "firewood" in a compact whole.

At the top of the reactor, a sturdy laborer is fixing one fuel assembly after another to the core drive rod beneath the pressure-resistant shell. Once this is done, the pressure shell that is opened mechanically is locked and all is well.

Oh~ There is still the last one, and a loop of cooling water is injected.

Look at the cooling water in the first circuit, under the heating of the core, quickly pull up the temperature.

The master clapped his hands and motioned for it.

Just boil water.

What is the essential difference between anthracite and enriched uranium?
