When several military bigwigs were considering key support for Duke's heavy industry, Duke did not know that his good days would fall into conflict, and he was now busy with the final work of his core plan for the nuclear reactor test reactor, which was originally based on the design provided by Billem, this new reactor has a very high utilization rate of uranium resources.

Most of the world's operating nuclear power plants only use 1 to 2 percent of uranium, but Duke's new fast reactor can increase the utilization rate of uranium resources to an astonishing 99 percent.

In the current research of such fast reactors, which are just emerging in the world, the theoretical utilization rate of designed uranium resources is about 60 to 70 percent.

Therefore, Duke is very entangled in how much utilization index should be taken, which is quite shocking and advanced, but not too rebellious, and also retains the space to be intercepted for the refining of seawater nuclear materials in the future.

Considering that this is a very advanced conceptual experimental reactor, and there is no actual reactor in the world that can actually operate, Duke finally decided to adjust to about 40 percent, which is a little worse than the fourth-generation nuclear power plant indicators in the future conceptual design, but basically nearly a decade ahead of its peers, which should be enough to offset this efficiency shortcoming.

The establishment of this new fast reactor is on the one hand to show its research level in this area, to lay the foundation for the launch of commercial nuclear power plants in the future, and on the other hand, to test many key components, Bilem's design is aimed at the materials of their planet, and now there are only performance parameters, and Duke must find the appropriate materials on Earth through experiments.

The material requirements for this small reactor are significantly lower than that of the eventual large commercial reactor, but because Duke designed it as an adjustable power reactor, which means that the Duke experimental reactor can be upgraded from 10 MW to 10 MW with the replacement of some critical equipment, this is obviously another revolutionary design in the experimental reactor.

Through this actual demand for equipment at different power levels, Duke was able to obtain first-hand data and then deduce the equipment requirements for large commercial nuclear power plants of more than 1,000 MW. Duke does not have first-hand information about the capacity of the materials produced by the two companies, Xincheng Special Steel and Hillington Composites, and it is impossible to draw relevant conclusions.

After the experimental reactor is built and through a series of tests, with the relevant data, Duke can use Kerry's derivation to obtain the relevant parameters such as materials and equipment for the design of the large nuclear power plant he wants to build.

Since the theoretical basis of this experimental reactor is what Duke's previously published derivation of the principle of natural nuclear reactions revealed, Duke is not worried about any doubts about this experimental reactor. Although the design of the core part of this experimental reactor seems to be a bit larger.

However, many of the related core simulations have actually been decomposed at MIT, even if those who are interested want to study in detail. Duke could also reconstruct the theoretical derivation of the fast reactor from his own traces at MIT, although it would be difficult for others to deduce it from the fragmented simulations.

Of course, the follow-up surrounding supporting parts, such as infrastructure construction, conventional power generation and other parts, Duke naturally handed over to other experts to design, not to mention that he has not learned this now, even if he has learned, it is impossible to take it all on himself.

There are a lot of experts who can catch these things and use them, and they will do it well.

After carefully examining his results, Duke put them into the nuclear reaction simulation application above Kerry for relevant tests, and after making sure that there were no mistakes, Duke found Qin Tairan.

Although this thing is not part of Qin Tairan's project, since it was negotiated through Qin Tairan, it is only natural to find Qin Tairan to implement this project, not to mention that this is also a great favor, and being able to participate in a state-of-the-art nuclear reactor project that is still a concept is a great achievement for anyone.

"Duke, are you saying that the core of the experimental reactor you're going to build has been designed?" Qin Tairan asked in great surprise. Although he had no foundation in this work during this time, he took over the No. 7 project, and he also worked hard to make up a lot of knowledge about nuclear reactions, and he knew a lot of common sense things about nuclear reactions.

Qin Tairan remembered that Huaxia Institute of Technology seemed to take five years to design and build such a similar experimental reactor, and of course there would be no less time spent on design.

"Yes, I started this design when I was a student at MIT, and it was finally completed some time ago, and after a few days of inspection, I think it should be okay. The attached supporting part also bothers you to find a group of experts to complete it together. Duke said that this explanation makes perfect sense.

"Oh, what does this thing need me to do, you just say, I'll coordinate it." When Qin Tairan heard Duke say this, he couldn't help but suddenly realize that as Duke's main intermediate, he was now highly authorized, and there was no problem with the general mobilization of manpower and material resources, and he could do it first and then report it.

"I need some supporting design for the nuclear island part, I have indicated the relevant interface parameters in the document, and the overall design is needed for the conventional power generation part, I hope this part of the design can replace different powers, that is to say, it must be able to support the rapid replacement or connection of 10MW and 100MW different generator sets." Duke said.

"These requirements are also written into the electronic document, if you are looking for an expert who does not understand, you can always come to me. The key is to hurry up the time, try to use mature technology, and be able to complete it in 3-6 months, and we can start the construction within the year, and strive to complete it within 2 years. ”

Qin Tairan didn't understand this part at all, in fact, even if he changed an expert, he couldn't understand it, because there seemed to be no precedent in the world for a design like Duke.

Fortunately, Qin Tairan doesn't have to figure out these details, he is the person in charge, not a research expert, and the details will naturally be studied by experts.

Qin Tairan worked vigorously and resolutely, and as soon as he went back, he organized the relevant experts required by Duke to discuss.

When Qin Tairan took out Duke's design and let these experts take a look, basically no one could understand Duke's design, and no one thought that Duke would directly design a fourth-generation reactor that is still in the conceptual exploration period, so these experts who took Duke's design and studied the design of the nuclear island shook their heads and said they didn't understand.

It's just that Duke has a reputation for nuclear research, and none of these experts dare to express doubts about Duke's design, if they can understand it, everyone will praise and judge whether it is good or bad, but the key is that no one understands it now, and whoever dares to speak indiscriminately makes people laugh.

Fortunately, Duke wrote very detailed interface requirements for the supporting parts, which are not much different from the ordinary reactor types that are now in use, and can basically be used by making some changes to the existing design, so experts said that there is no pressure to complete the design of this part within 3 months.

But when it came to discussing the conventional power generation part, and seeing that Duke actually asked for power generation equipment of different power to be replaced or connected, it was the turn of the power station design experts to be speechless. This kind of design idea proposed by Duke has not been thought about at all, how can it be designed?

Could it be that the output power of the nuclear island designed by Duke can also be adjusted? This is something that I have never heard of.

But Qin Tairan asked everyone not to think about whether Duke's request was reasonable, but to think about how to achieve it, as long as there is no problem in terms of safety, Duke must cooperate and try his best to achieve whatever he wants to cultivate.

After a long discussion, an expert finally put forward a compromise proposal, let the power generation part build a few more, around the nuclear island to form a lotus shape, anyway, it is an experimental reactor, the layout does not need to be too particular, according to Duke's design instructions, the nuclear island part of the safety factor is extremely high, basically there is no threat of explosion and leakage, because the use of ultra-low concentration of uranium, much like the nuclear reaction mode in the natural state revealed by Duke.

For nuclear reactions at such concentrations, the danger cannot be said to be none, but it is almost negligible. So the advice made by this expert looks silly, but it can still achieve Duke's needs.

One of the most bizarre experimental reactors in history entered the final design period in the confusion of experts, and no one thought that the world-renowned fast reactors, commonly known as lotus reactors, would be born.
