After Academician Zhu Bingwen issued the order, the thorium-based molten salt reactor was officially launched.

Under the control of the software, the miniature nuclear power plant opens the relevant modules and officially operates.

On the virtual light curtain in front of it, the specific information of the nuclear power plant is constantly being broadcast.

"The safety device was ready, and the nuclear fuel rods began to sink."

"The nuclear fuel rods have reached their intended position, and an attempt to ignite the first time is underway."

"The ignition of the nuclear material rods was successful, and the nuclear reactor officially began to work."

Academician Zhu Bingwen saw that the nuclear reactor had already begun operation.

He kept his eyes on the data on the virtual light curtain and instructed the staff: "Always pay attention to the temperature inside the nuclear reactor, and at the same time pay attention to the capacity of the external power grid." ”

While Academician Zhu Bingwen was speaking, the virtual light curtain already showed that the nuclear power plant was officially generating electricity.

Its power fluctuated around 1.8 million kilowatts before it gradually stabilized.

The nuclear power plant outputs direct current, which is externally connected to a transformer.

The electric energy is converted into a current of 1100 kV and 50Hz, which is transmitted to the high-voltage power grid.

After the nuclear power plant has been running smoothly for a while, all eyes are on the radiation data.

Since it is a nuclear fission reactor, the biggest environmental impact is nuclear radiation.

In order for this miniature nuclear power plant to be commercialized, it is necessary to strictly control the radiation level leaked from the entire nuclear power plant.

The virtual light curtain shows the radiation values around the nuclear power plant at all times.

The figure rose from 279 nagoris per hour before the plant started up to 412 nagori per hour.

After that, the radiation value does not rise and stabilizes around this radiation value.

For those who don't understand, they see that on the virtual light curtain, the radiation value rises and fluctuates with a green curve.

There is still some range from the red curve with warning significance. They all understand that the radiation values are now safe.

After everyone saw this situation, their hearts were much lighter.

Nuclear power plants that do not produce radiation can give everyone peace of mind.

Academician Zhu Bingwen said with satisfaction: "As I thought, the silicon gold crystal perfectly shields the middle finger flow and other radiation inside the core machine.

The radiation released to the outside is very low and far from being harmful to human health.

Now this radiation value is not as strong as the radiation value produced by turning on and off the microwave oven. ”

Li Hao also congratulated Academician Zhu Bingwen: "Congratulations to Academician Zhu, the nuclear power plant you have developed is running perfectly, and this test has been successful. ”

Academician Zhu Bingwen waved his hand, and said in a still somewhat nervous tone: "It is still far from reaching the standard of success.

Who knows what else we didn't expect to happen. ”

They silently watched the operation of the nuclear power plant, five minutes passed, ten minutes passed, and no accidents occurred.

The operating time of the nuclear power plant soon came to half an hour, and there was still no abnormal phenomenon.

Li Hao saw that the metal ring around the nuclear power plant was calm, and there was no arc flickering as he imagined.

He asked Academician Zhu Bingwen: "Is the metal ring on the periphery of the nuclear power plant the first stage of the temperature difference generator?"

After the nuclear power plant officially generated electricity, I saw that his appearance was unresponsive. ”

Academician Zhu Bingwen responded with a smile: "How can this be a thermostat generator component, the nuclear reactor we designed has a power of 2 million.

The ultra-high voltage and strong current generated during the power generation process can easily damage the equipment.

The equipment deployed in this space is shrouded in Faraday cages. Our miniature nuclear power plants generate direct current, in turn.

There are no dangerous consequences, but it has to be #exposed to the air. There will definitely be a discharge phenomenon, and it will be too easy to break down the air.

The metal ring on the periphery is the heat dissipation mechanism of the nuclear reactor.

If the temperature difference generator does not have time to absorb more heat, there is this heat dissipation mechanism to assist in dissipating heat.

Prevent the accumulation of excessive temperature inside the nuclear reactor, which will cause the core to melt. ”

After Li Hao heard it, he said with some annoyance: "I should have thought a long time ago about how the electric energy output equipment of the nuclear power plant would allow direct contact with the air. ”

The nuclear power plant has been running smoothly for half an hour, and everyone is much more relaxed. Letting go of the anxiety in their hearts, Li Hao and Academician Zhu Bingwen both began to chat.

Suddenly, I heard a terrible siren sound in front of me.

Anyone can understand the meaning of this voice, and there was a sudden accident at the nuclear power plant.

Academician Zhu Bingwen immediately focused his attention on the virtual light curtain in front of him and urgently found out the cause of the accident at the nuclear power plant.

He looked at the data and immediately locked down the cause of the accident.

Academician Zhu Bingwen urgently ordered: "The internal temperature of the nuclear reactor is too high, and it is speculated that the molten salt temperature has not been released quickly.

Start the standby thermometer generator right now. ”

When the staff heard Academician Zhu Bingwen's instructions, they immediately started the thermoelectric generator for backup at the nuclear power plant.

Only see the thermostat after the generator starts smoothly.

The mournful sirens began to die down, and the nuclear power plant returned to normal condition.

Academician Zhu Bingwen checked some data again and instructed the staff: "Sort out the experimental data, and now start the nuclear reactor shutdown procedure." ”

As soon as the staff heard the order, they immediately began to shut down the nuclear reaction process inside the nuclear reactor.

They reduce the number of neutrons involved in fission by releasing materials that absorb large amounts of neutrons. to indirectly achieve the process of controlling nuclear reactions.

When Li Hao saw Academician Zhu Bingwen giving such an order, he asked curiously: "Academician Zhu, can the process of this nuclear reactor be terminated at any time?" Has it succeeded now, or has it failed? ”

Academician Zhu Bingwen smiled: "We use special materials to control the number of neutrons in the nuclear reactor.

This material can absorb a large amount of neutrons and release them under certain conditions.

Through it, the nuclear reaction process can be controlled, and there is no need to stick to the nuclear fuel, which must be completely reacted.

The pause of a nuclear reaction can be controlled at any time during the course of a nuclear reaction.

It is also not technically too difficult to use these suspended nuclear materials again in the future.

This is the first time that the nuclear power plant has been launched, and it can be regarded as a successful operation.

There are basically no problems with the various components, especially the nuclear radiation intensity is well controlled.

As long as some subtle problems are solved, it can be officially put into commercial use. ”

When Li Hao heard the news, he showed a look of joy.

It seems that in the near future, the space shuttle of our own company will not need to be powered by iron-graphene battery packs, but only need this kind of miniature nuclear power plant.

He asked with concern: "Academician Zhu, what is the problem of this miniature nuclear power plant when you encountered the danger just now?" How long can it be put into service. ”

Academician Zhu Bingwen replied easily: "The place where the accident occurred was a temperature difference generator.

We calculated the overall energy loss of the nuclear power plant, and there were certain errors.

As a result, a set of thermodynamic engines is unable to consume the energy produced during the nuclear reaction.

Fortunately, we had a spare thermogenerator, so there were no serious consequences.

The main problem with nuclear power plants is the transmission of electrical energy.

Two sets of temperature difference generators will cause the disorder of the power system.

We also needed a specialist in the field of electricity to redesign our energy output devices.

Everything else is fine, as soon as the electrical energy output device is built, the miniature nuclear power plant will officially be ready for commercial testing. ”

Li Hao said happily: "Congratulations to Academician Zhu, the micro nuclear power plant you designed has been successfully operated.

Our company is more than happy to cooperate with your institute in the commercial testing of micro-nuclear power plants.
