The negotiators on both sides took their seats one after another, Chen Xu rubbed his shoulders, opened the folder on his desk, put the pencil on the table, and briefly recorded the other party's requirements when he negotiated later. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Let's talk about how much it costs to build a nuclear power plant!" Negotiation is nothing more than negotiating the price, so Chen Xu asked the cost directly as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Mr. Chen, the construction of a nuclear power plant is a systematic project, which is divided into a single reactor power station and a multi-reactor power station, and the cost of the power station with multiple nuclear power units will be much more expensive. The larger the capacity of the nuclear power unit, the cheaper the cost, the cost of a nuclear power unit with a capacity of 800,000 kilowatts is more expensive than a nuclear power unit with a capacity of 1 million yuan, and the construction cost per kilowatt is 20 US dollars. William Bashir frowned, Chen Xu asked this kind of question a special layman, of course, it is not ruled out that he asked it on purpose.

Although people are dizzy with data, Chen Xu still easily understands that the supporting safety facilities of a single-reactor nuclear power plant are the same as those of a multi-reactor power station, and the power generation is of course the higher the number of reactors, and one reactor can't do six reactors.

The higher the capacity of the power plant, the lower the construction cost. This is also why the cost of a single-reactor nuclear power plant is not cheap, and the unit with a small power generation capacity is also expensive!

"So, if we want to save money, we have to build multiple nuclear power units with large capacity?" Chen Weiguo pinched his chin next to him and interjected.

William Bashir nodded and affirmed: "Theoretically, if China needs to introduce such a large-capacity nuclear power unit, it is absolutely technically fine, but I don't know if you want to build a boiling water reactor or a pressurized water reactor?" Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the cost of construction is also different. ”

"Never a pile of boiling water! We just need a PWR. Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Chen Xu decisively interjected and told the US side in an unquestionable tone that China would not introduce boiling water reactors. It's not that boiling water reactors are bad, but Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear power plants are all boiling water reactors, this kind of nuclear reactor is like a curse, whoever uses it is unlucky, especially after the Fukushima accident, the world basically sentenced the boiling water reactor to death, and will not build this kind of nuclear reactor again, Chen Xu does not dare to take this risk.

“ok！ Since it's okay for the Chinese side not to like boiling water reactors, let's just talk about pressurized water reactors. According to the initial letter of intent submitted by the Chinese side, the US side wants to build 30 nuclear power units in China. William Bashir looked at Chen Xu with hope on his face, and it was clear that as a capitalist, his appetite was endless, and it would be better if the Chinese side could increase orders.

"With the current industrial power of the United States, how long will it take to build a nuclear power plant?" Chen Xu asked rhetorically

"It depends, a single reactor can be completed in two to three years, and if it is multiple reactors, it may take five or six years. Of course, if China is in a hurry to use nuclear power now, we can minimize the approval process and speed up the construction period. William Bashir pretended not to care.

"We are not in a hurry, the safety of nuclear power is the most important, and if we build it too quickly, there will inevitably be installation problems, and it will be more time-consuming to rework and debug when the time comes. China has now introduced a large number of thermal power projects, in the next ten years the problem of power shortage will be fundamentally solved, our nuclear power projects in ten years after the generation of electricity is not too late, at that time after nuclear power into production, can effectively reduce the price of electricity in our country, increase the competitiveness of industry. Chen Xu shook his head, he would not be fooled, the construction process of the nuclear power plant is complicated, especially the civil construction scale is large, and the construction standard is extremely high.

And Chen Xu attaches the most importance to nuclear safety, so he will require the underground engineering of the nuclear power plant to be extremely strong, taking advantage of the low cost now, you can build more than ten meters deep underground reinforced concrete fortifications, and at the same time, the external containment of the reactor is poured with seven or eight meters thick reinforced concrete, which must be safe and redundant. Foreign countries just want to save money and pay attention to economic interests, and everything is carefully calculated, but as soon as the nuclear power plant explodes, the loss is tens of billions of yuan.

You must know that the reinforced concrete safety shell of the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant is only three meters thick, so the nuclear power plant has not been torn off the roof like Chernobyl and Fukushima. There is no cement at all, and only those capitalists in the West will care.

Chen Xu's words must make the safety shell of the nuclear power plant anti-nuclear, the kind that cannot be destroyed even if a nuclear bomb is directly smashed on it.

Seeing that the U.S. representative was caught up in thought, Chen Xu then asked: "With the current industrial strength of the United States, how many nuclear power units can be built in the next ten years?" ”

"30 units is more than enough in ten years, and 60 units can easily be achieved if we expand production." William Bashir swallowed his saliva and cautiously reported a figure, he had already investigated China's annual power generation situation in advance, and knew that China was very short of electricity, so he quoted as many units as he quoted, and China should eat them all.

"Since you are so confident that you can build 60 units, then you are welcome! We need the US to build six large nuclear power plants in China in the next ten years, and each power station will assemble ten nuclear power units with a single reactor capacity of 1 million kilowatts, which means that the total capacity of each power station is 6 million kilowatts. Chen Xu's pencil kept writing what he had just said in the folder, and he didn't know how amazing the numbers he had just burst out were, which was the world's largest nuclear power construction plan.

The total capacity of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station is 13 million kilowatts, which is the amount of electricity that can be generated by the Three Gorges without stopping for two or four hours a day. In other words, in Chen Xu's planning, the two nuclear power plants will be on top of the Three Gorges, and six 6 million-level nuclear power plants will be built in one go, which is believed to be enough to solve the problem of China's electricity difficulty and high electricity costs.

Ten units per nuclear power plant is not an exaggeration, the Qinshan nuclear power plant in China has 11 units, the Fukushima nuclear power plant has 10 units, and multi-reactor power plants are the trend of the future. Moreover, the site selection requirements of nuclear power plants are extremely high, and several more units in a station can not only save money and land, but also be more convenient to manage.

"Since China is so fond of large-capacity units, if you want to save construction costs, I suggest that you choose a 1.3 million reactor. Such a large-capacity reactor is 20% different from the unit power cost of an 800,000 reactor. William Bashir's mouth was already trembling when he spoke, and with six nuclear power plants with a capacity of 6 million yuan, Westinghouse's nuclear power business can basically be guaranteed to be delicious and spicy in the next ten years.

After a pause, Bashir continued: "If there is demand from China, our company now has the most advanced nuclear power unit with a single capacity of 1.7 million kilowatts, and the technology is very mature, and if it is installed, it can save more construction costs." ”

"The capacity of a single reactor is 1.75 million kilowatts!" Chen Xu's eyes lit up, pursed his mouth and thought for a moment, then nodded: "I can promise to introduce two such large-capacity units in the first phase of one of the nuclear power plants, and if the performance is stable after the power generation is put into operation, I will consider introducing more such units in the later stage." ”

"You two have been discussing for so long, but let's talk about how much it costs to build a nuclear power plant!" Chen Weiguo heard his brother talking about six nuclear power plants on the side, and he was frightened, how dangerous it should be for so many nuclear power plants!

"Now the manufacturing cost of the nuclear power industry has risen very much, especially after the accident on Sanli Island in China, there are new requirements for the design standards and construction cycle of nuclear power plants, and the cost of equipment and labor accounts for a large part of the cost, so the cost of the six nuclear power plants you require may be very expensive......" William Bashir wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, to be honest, he really did not dare to quote this astronomical price.

"No matter how expensive it is, there is a number! You can boldly say that we don't care about these things if we have money. Chen Xu sniffed and gave the Yankees opposite him an affirmative look.

"This, according to a nuclear power unit with a single reactor capacity of 1.3 million kilowatts, ten reactors of this level will probably cost $650 per unit power to build 1 kilowatt!" William Bashir glanced down at the documents in front of him, then looked up solemnly.

"Big brother, what is $650 multiplied by 1.3 million?" Chen Xu turned his head and asked his eldest brother.

Chen Weiguo leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, shook his head and said, "Don't forget it, it's just an astronomical amount!" Weigh you by grams, even if you count the hair on your body as money, you can't afford it! (To be continued.) )
