West of Baghdad, Habbaniyah. Pen&Fun&Pavilion www.biquge.info{{}}

It's a very ordinary town, but since a year ago, it has become unusual, and a large nuclear power plant has begun to be under construction.

Last year, Iraq signed a contract with the Soviet Union to build two 50-megawatt nuclear power plants in the suburbs of Baghdad and Zubayr in Iraq to alleviate Iraq's power shortage.

So, in Habaniyah, technical experts from the Soviet Union instructed Iraqi engineers in the construction, and the nuclear power plant was under intense construction.

The Soviet Union aided the RBMK-1000 nuclear power unit, a large graphite boiling water reactor, which is now widely used in the Soviet Union.

In the nuclear reactor, the nuclear fuel rods are "burned" to provide heat energy, and this nuclear power unit has 1680 fuel tubes, but, in professional terms, the chain reaction needs slow neutrons, so there needs to be a moderator, later generations often used light water as a moderator, and now graphite is used as a moderator. {{}} (Because graphite reactors are a by-product of nuclear weapons, graphite reactors are no longer used for export in order to avoid the political problems caused by this.) )

Specifically, this kind of reactor is a 12-meter-diameter, 7-meter-high reactor "workshop" made of graphite, and 1,680 fuel pipes are installed in the middle hole of the graphite masonry core, and boiling light water is heated and boiled through the core in the pressure pipe. It then merges into four drums on one side, two on one side. The steam in the steam drum goes directly into the steam turbine plant, and the two loops each provide high temperature and high pressure steam to a steam turbine generator set. This is the mode of a bunch of two machines, each generating half of the rated electric power. Since the reactor is a pressure tubular type. Pressed by pressure tubes, the graphite masonry had a large diameter, so the reactors built by the USSR did not have pressure shells, but, at the repeated insistence of Qusay, the Iraqi reactors. It has a steel pressure shell.

Each nuclear power unit provides 25 megawatts of electricity, so this power plant has two nuclear reactors and four generating units.

Construction of nuclear power plants. {{}} It was a complex process, and until now, after the night of construction by Iraqi personnel, the reactor and unit 1 of a nuclear power unit were finally installed.

It was a very meaningful moment, so the President of Iraq, His Excellency Qusay, was here in person to attend the completion of Unit 1.

The whole scene was very lively. Kusai glanced out the window at the spectacular scene and knew that all of this was hard-won.

Iraq is rich in oil resources, but if oil is used as fuel to generate electricity, it will be very wasteful and seriously pollute the environment.

Therefore. Nuclear energy, this clean, clean energy source, is a new option for countries around the world that need energy. In the beginning, nuclear reactors were only a military need, and nuclear reactors were used to produce nuclear fuel, and in 1954, the Soviet Union built the world's first nuclear power plant with an installed capacity of 5 megawatts. Britain, the United States and other countries have also built various types of nuclear power plants. Later, with the rise in the price of oil, the world's main energy source, nuclear power became an alternative energy option. {{}}

The world has relatively rich nuclear resources, the world's main nuclear raw material, uranium reserves of about 4.17 million tons, so the earth's nuclear fuel resources that can be developed can provide more than 100,000 times more energy than ore fuel. Nuclear fuel has many advantages, such as small size and high energy, nuclear energy is millions of times greater than chemical energy; 1,000 grams of uranium releases the same amount of energy as 2,400 tons of standard coal; Moreover, the pollution is small, and the nuclear power plant has set up layers of barriers, basically no substances that pollute the environment, and even the pollution is much less than that of coal-fired power stations. When the nuclear power plant was operating normally, the impact on residents in a year was less than the dose received by an X-ray fluoroscopy. By contrast, the thick chimneys of the thermal power stations are the ones that have been criticized by environmentalists.

Therefore, Iraq's pursuit of clean energy is very simple, for example, to protect the environment.

In fact, the introduction of nuclear power by various countries has another hidden purpose, for example, through the introduction of nuclear power plants, to study nuclear technology, break through the nuclear threshold, and have that kind of powerful killing tools.

Therefore, for non-nuclear countries, the introduction of nuclear power plants has always been stared at. {{}}

Iraq has already learned the lesson that the Oshirak nuclear reactor, which was imported from France for experimentation, was blown up in a brazen Jewish air raid. Therefore, around the nuclear power plant, Iraq has arranged anti-aircraft missile positions to protect its nuclear power plant, although the current situation is estimated to be incapable of another air strike.

When he came to Unit 1, Qusay stepped out of the car and saw many people sitting on the rostrum used for the ceremony, including technicians from the Soviet Union for nuclear power plants, Iraq's own leaders, representatives of the International Atomic Energy Agency, and the Soviet ambassador to Iraq.

Seeing Cusai coming up, everyone stood up and expressed the greatest welcome to Cusai amid warm applause.

In the audience, the flashing lights of reporters from various countries have been flashing frequently.

As the President of Iraq, it is very important to personally attend the ceremony of the nuclear power plant in Iraq. {{}}

"Dear friends, I am very happy that today, our Habaniyah nuclear power plant has finally started the completion ceremony of unit 1, which represents that our nuclear power plant is one step closer to commercial operation, and it means that we in Iraq finally have a clean nuclear power plant, which is a milestone for the peaceful use of nuclear energy in Iraq!"

Listening to the applause below, Qusay pressed down with his hand, signaled for the applause to stop, and then said: "Here, the first thing we want to thank is our international friends, the Soviet technical experts who exported nuclear power plant technology to us, on behalf of Iraq, on behalf of all the people, thank you for your hard work this year!" ”

Hearing this, the Soviet experts on the stage couldn't sit still, and they all stood up and nodded to the people below to express their gratitude.

"We have a nuclear power plant, and we also need to know that releasing shèxing pollution is a rather terrible injury, so our technicians must strictly follow the cāo rules and regulations to prevent accidents, this is my requirement for our nuclear power workers, no matter when, we must not be careless, this is not only responsible for our Iraq, but also for the entire Middle East region, but also for the whole world."

Qusay will not forget how harmful an accident at a nuclear power plant can be, especially the one that will happen next year, which will cause a catastrophe for the whole of Europe. Nuclear power plants, in fact, are relatively safe, the key problem is that the personnel who do nuclear power must abide by the procedures of the nuclear power, and the nuclear radiation shè is a demon in Pandora's box and must not be released.

"Secondly, I want to reiterate once again that we in Iraq are peace-loving countries, we have nuclear power plants, which is only the beginning of the peaceful use of nuclear energy, and we are definitely not like some rogue countries that point fingers at others for the peaceful use of nuclear power, and even do not hesitate to use the air force to blow up nuclear power plants. Our current nuclear power plant in Iraq will definitely not repeat the tragedy of our Oshirak nuclear reactor! We have the ability to protect our nuclear power plants, serve our peaceful use of nuclear energy, and serve our nation-building in Iraq! ”

At the beginning, it was they who announced that it was Iraq that wanted to build nuclear weapons through nuclear reactors, so they brazenly bombed Iraq's nuclear reactors, and this kind of practice that caused public outrage was never afraid of condemnation from public opinion, because they relied on the force in their hands to point fingers and interfere in the surrounding Arab countries!

In connection with the current situation, the reputation of the sè column is already very bad, and Cusay's words have made many reporters take note of it, is this an accusation against the sè lie?

"We in Iraq will never be like a rogue state, so from the beginning of the construction of our nuclear power plant, we have always been supervised by experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency, and I would like to express the same sincere welcome to all of you for their supervision! You need to be stationed in Iraq all the time, hard work! Every time we replace fuel rods, dispose of nuclear waste, and stop the reactor for inspection, we will do it under the supervision of the IAEA, and we will never carry out any activities privately! ”

Qusay's remarks made the experts of the International Atomic Energy Agency on the stage very happy, and they remembered what happened to Israel and Israel, the wanton obstruction of the superpowers, and their inspections, which could not be carried out at all, and where they were hired to supervise the whole process like Iraq, so Iraq had no intention of developing nuclear weapons at all!

Qusay admits that in his mind, there is indeed an idea in his mind that if the two nuclear power plants are under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and that Iraq's cooperation is fully expressed, then the whole world will know Iraq's sincerity in not developing nuclear weapons and will successfully conceal public opinion from the world.

These two nuclear power plants are their shields.

Qusay's statement made the following reporters happy in their hearts, and the interview materials of this news will definitely be on the top ten news of this year.

After Qusay's speech, the IAEA experts took the floor and praised Iraq for its peaceful use of nuclear energy and for not developing weapons of mass destruction in such a cooperative manner, and at the same time, the IAEA would help Iraq to achieve stable operation of nuclear power plants.
