Chapter 536: Daya Bay Good News
Although before this, Lu Zhou was also prepared for Hou Jinli to fail to complete this task, but sure enough, he still lived up to his expectations.
Five sets of samples of four pieces each.
It is difficult to prepare ceramic-based graphene composites in the laboratory, and it is not easy to complete these tasks in a week.
In short, with these samples, Daya Bay should be able to catch up.
Before testing the neutron irradiation resistance in the high-energy region, Lu Zhou needed to diagnose the performance of these five groups of samples in a relatively low-energy region.
If the situation is good, he will consider testing it in the experimental reactor.
After all, whether it is a tokamak or an stellar, tens of billions of devices are not blown by the wind. I don't know how long the days will be, but I'll save some money.
Unless it is to collect the necessary experimental data, or to try it with confidence, it is far better to try it in the fission reactor first, than to test it directly in the experimental reactor.
Looking at Lu Zhou, who was flipping through the report, Hou Jinli took a deep breath and continued.
"In the experiment, we simplified the original experimental procedures and tried to find a more concise synthesis method!"
Hearing this unexpected news, Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows with interest: "Oh, yes? Write a report and hand it to me in two days. ”
Hou Jinli immediately nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
After reading several XRD test reports in his hand, Lu Zhou put down these materials for the time being.
As far as the test results are concerned, these samples are generally in good agreement with his calculations.
Next, we have to wait for the report from the Daya Bay side.
"If there is nothing else to do, you should go back early today, seeing you like this, you are almost unsteady when you walk."
"Good ......"
glanced at Lu Zhou gratefully, and Hou Jinli did not refuse.
After all, he is also a Ben San person, and his body is still not as good as when he was just studying for a doctorate.
After a week of liver explosion, his body was indeed unable to hold on......
……
As planned, Lu Zhou sent these five sets of samples to Daya Bay through special logistics channels.
After waiting patiently for a while, the test results from there were quickly sent.
"The test results from Daya Bay are out."
Putting a document on Lu Zhou's desk, Yang Xu said excitedly, "The result is quite perfect!" ”
Although Yang Xu's expression had already spoiled the content of this test result, Lu Zhou immediately reached out and took this information, and couldn't wait to scan it.
Five groups of materials were collected in different irradiation scenarios such as pressurized water-cooled reactor (PR) and light water reactor (BR) in different irradiation scenarios, and the DPA generation rate in different energy regions was collected.
As a control group, austenitic steel, which is typically used as a structural material in fusion devices, is used.
As Yang Xu said, the experimental results are quite perfect.
Although many of the values are quite different from the results he simulated through computational materials science methods, the errors are within an acceptable range.
After all, the Lindhard-Robinson model he was referring to was not a particularly perfect image-only model in itself. If the data matches perfectly, then it is called abnormal.
The five groups of samples were compared horizontally, and with the amplification of the neutron flux rate, the fourth group of samples had the best neutron permeability and self-healing to Ferencel defect pairs.
Especially in the PR environment, when the irradiation temperature is 680K and the fast neutron flux reaches 4.2×1020/cm2, the DPA generation rate is less than 10% of that of the control group of austenitic steel!
In radioactivity detection, the DPA index is often used to indicate the number of times each atom is out of place.
There is no doubt that they succeeded!
At least, on the low-energy zone......
Compared with Yang Xu's excitement, Lu Zhou's reaction was quite calm.
After reading the document from beginning to end, he thought for a moment before speaking.
"The irradiation temperature is only 680K, the fast neutron injection is obviously not enough, and the energy carried by a single neutron has only reached the order of 1MeV.
Although this phased research result is quite amazing.
At least in the low-energy region, the performance of this ceramic-based graphene composite has completely exploded the Al, Mg, and Zr alloys, which are commonly used as cladding materials for experimental reactors.
Needless to say, its anisotropy in heat transfer.
Judging from these excellent properties alone, this kind of material has a high application prospect even if it is not used in fusion reactors, and it is placed on some fission reactors.
Yang Xu smiled and said: "It's too harsh for you to say this, even if it's a phased achievement, this achievement is not small, I think it's okay to be happy." ”
Lu Zhou smiled: "Maybe, but I still prefer to wait until everything settles before tasting the champagne of victory." ”
Yang Xu: "So...... Does it really have to be tested inside a fusion device? ”
Lu Zhou nodded: "For now, it can only be like this." ”
The only one that can simulate the fusion reactor environment is the fusion reactor itself.
Yang Xu: "Let's not talk about the fusion reactor, what name do you plan to give our material?" Since sample No. 4 has been identified as the best stage result, it should not be called a number. ”
As soon as he heard that he wanted to choose his own name, Lu Zhou suddenly made a mistake and said with a headache.
"Don't leave the name to me, refer to the opinions of the research team on Hou Jinli's side, and you can decide for yourself."
"How's that going to work?" Yang Xu said with a smile, "According to the convention, the name of the research results is decided by the general person in charge of the project. If you really don't know, you can put your name on it. ”
As soon as he heard this suggestion, Lu Zhou suddenly coughed lightly and said, "The name is still forgotten, I'll think about it again." ”
I always feel that he will have a lot of research results in the future.
If they are all named after people, I am afraid that his two names will not be enough, but I am afraid that in the end, even he will not be able to remember which one is which.
After thinking carefully about this serious question for a moment, Lu Zhou's eyes suddenly lit up and he spoke.
“…… Let's call it LPC-1. ”
Yang Xu: "......"
Seeing Yang Xu's speechless expression, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned.
"What's wrong?"
Yang Xu coughed dryly, hiding his embarrassment and said, "It's nothing, it's a good name." I just think it...... This naming convention has your own style. ”
LPC is an abbreviation for porous carbon material, and the first generation of products is followed by a number 1, which is basically the most difficult nomenclature to confuse, but it is also the most uncreative nomenclature.
It is too casual to name such an important research result.
Hearing Yang Xu's complaint, Lu Zhou probably guessed what he was thinking, so he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what the material is called, what matters is its function." ”
Yang Xu: "Okay, it's good if you're happy...... By the way, if you're going to test it in the experimental reactor, you're going to go to the southwest again? ”
Lu Zhou shook his head: "The situation of HL-2A has reached the limit, judging from the situation of the last experiment, I am afraid that it will be enough for them to repair until the end of the year, and I will not force them this time." ”
Although I don't mind tossing Lao Zhou's equipment a few more times, no matter how much I toss, I have to consider the Basic Law.
Injecting nuclear fuel into an experimental reactor is no joke, and although the fusion reaction can be stopped at any time, if hundreds of millions of kilowatt-hours of plasma leak out, it will be a serious accident.
Speaking of this, Lu Zhou paused for a moment and said in a joking tone.
"What's more, this is a moment to witness history, and I may have to go to textbooks in the future."
"It's a shame to let someone else's equipment witness it."
