Chapter 276: Problems in Nuclear Energy Projects

After receiving a call from the leaders of NTU, Xu Chuan didn't think much about it, and after a simple exchange, he agreed to hold a report meeting at NTU.

The phased results of the NS equation are not unknown, and they deserve a special presentation.

And it is also a good thing for him that someone takes the initiative to worry about this kind of thing for him.

After all, it is quite troublesome to hold a large-scale report meeting, and it is a matter of invitations and personnel reception.

Of course, for NTU, they wish that such trouble would come a few more times.

With Xu Chuan's fame and the importance of the NS equation, it is completely foreseeable that the scale of this conference will surpass all the reports in the history of NTU, and it will be the largest in history.

Not only mathematicians, but also physicists, and even engineers who study fluid mechanics are likely to attend the presentation.

This kind of seminar is undoubtedly very important for a university like NTU that wants to further enhance its reputation and expand its reputation in the world, and wants to become a world-class university.

For NTU, this is an academic reputation boost.

For the leaders of NTU, and even the entire Jinling City, this is Hongguoguo's political achievement.

If a university or a city can undertake such an academic exchange report, there is no doubt that it can greatly increase the academic atmosphere for the entire university or city.

In particular, under the current theme of rejuvenating the country through science and education, what is this? That's ****!

Therefore, after communicating with Xu Chuan, the report on the NS equation will immediately become the top task in the school and even in the city.

Various meetings were held, from the list of invitation letters to the safety of the report meeting, to the appearance of the school, all of which were carefully exchanged and discussed several times and came up with the most secure plan.

But fortunately, there is still enough time, after communication with Xu Chuan, this report meeting was finally scheduled for May 5th, and there is still half a month before now, which is enough for Nanda and Jinling City to sort out the school appearance inside and out.

......

Xu Chuan didn't care about these things, and this kind of thing like a face project couldn't run away in China anyway.

But the face project is not without its benefits.

At least, whether it is for the students of NTU or the citizens of Jinling City, the environmental sanitation of the residence, the convenience of transportation, and the potholes on the road have not been fed back before, but now they have been solved directly as soon as possible.

After handing over the report on the phased results of the NS equation to NTU, Xu Chuan also returned to his normal life.

It's already mid-April, and he hasn't been to the 'Nuclear Energy β Radiation Energy Aggregation and Conversion Mechanism Project' since the beginning of '19.

Although Professor Han Jin sends project reports to his mailbox every week, he really doesn't know what the situation is like at the Nuclear Energy Research Institute.

So, after completing the phased results of the NS equation, Xu Chuan quickly arrived at Qidong by high-speed rail.

When he arrived at the nuclear energy project research base, he was a little shocked by the scene in front of him.

After a few months, it has been transformed from a barren mountain into a small town.

The sea breeze blows from the sea not far away, and what catches the eye is a huge nuclear power plant and supporting buildings.

Several tall condensing towers with a height of more than 100 meters stand in the northeast direction, facing the sea; In the center, there is a long dragon of steel, majestic atmosphere; Beneath your feet is a brightly colored concrete floor, flat and wide.

On the other side, not far away, is a six-story research center, which, despite being only six floors, reaches a height of almost forty meters.

The nuclear waste power plant is surrounded by a variety of supporting facilities and a wide concrete road leading into the distance.

At the outermost edge is a fence several meters high, which stretches as far as the eye can see, and firmly envelops the entire nuclear power plant park.

Further afield, there are dense primeval forests and wilderness.

This scene is like the post-apocalyptic city in a science fiction movie, with a barren apocalypse outside, only the light of hope in the small town, and the face-to-face conflict is contrary but real.

......

After passing through the security and entering the park, Xu Chuan still couldn't stop the shock in his heart.

I'm afraid that whoever came could not have imagined that a few months ago, this was a barren mountain.

Although he had heard the title of infrastructure madman countless times, the shock was unimaginable when everything miraculously appeared in front of him.

"Professor, you're here."

In the base of the nuclear energy park, Han Jin, who received the call, quickly rushed over.

Looking at Han Jin, whose face was full of wind and frost and wrinkles, Xu Chuan smiled a little embarrassedly. "I haven't paid attention to this side for a few months, I've worked hard for you."

Han Jin hurriedly shook his head and said, "This is my job, nothing hard." And you've already done the hardest part, so there's no need to delay your time with the rest of the simple work. There's more important research on your hands. ”

After a pause, he then smiled and said, "Congratulations to the professor for proving the ns equation!" ”

Xu Chuan said with a smile: "No, a phased achievement, and it has not yet been verified by the mathematical community, whether it is really successful, it's not sure, it's too early to congratulate." ”

"Professor, you're too modest." Han Jin smiled and said, "Who in the mathematics world doesn't know that if you are not sure, you will not publish the paper." ”

Xu Chuan shook his head with a smile and did not continue on this topic.

"Take me to Chief Engineer Qi first, and then you can tell me about the situation here along the way."

Han Jin nodded, and walked towards the other direction of the park with Xu Chuan, introducing as he walked.

"At present, the main construction of the entire park has been completed, and the relevant equipment is now being procured and deployed."

"The linear particle accelerator you asked for would take another week to get it, because it's a delicate thing that requires all sorts of precautions and declarations to be delivered. .......”

“...... According to the plan, the park could be put into use in mid-May. ”

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "What about personnel recruitment?" How's it going? ”

Han Jin replied: "There may be some resistance in terms of personnel recruitment, but according to your arrangement last year, the recruitment work has been carried out. ”

"It's true that a lot of people come for interviews, but not so many meet the requirements and are willing to stay."

"After all, as you know, Professor, this is a place where high concentrations of nuclear waste are disposed of, and it is extremely dangerous. Even though it is theoretically safe and there is no risk of radiation in the park, many people are still worried. ”

Xu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Speed up the recruitment." ”

There is not much he can do about this at the moment, after all, nuclear waste has been synonymous with danger or death for some time in the past.

It's also normal to be reluctant to come here to work.

"Professor."

Han Jin pondered for a moment and then said, "Regarding personnel recruitment, I have a suggestion. ”

Xu Chuan: "What suggestions?" Just say it. ”

"I recommend using automated machinery or intelligent robots to work in the core hazardous areas."

"This is the biggest recruitment gap, and up to now, even if we have guaranteed safety and compensation during interviews, and have a perfect system, there are still only two people willing to accept this job."

"But it's less than a tenth of what needs to be shortfall."

"With the use of automated machinery or intelligent robots, there is no shortage of personnel."

"The ionizing radiation from high-energy nuclear waste is indeed very disturbing to electronic equipment, but don't we have lead-free nanocomposite reconstruction protective materials? This soft material can be used to wrap the whole of the machine and equipment, which can greatly reduce the impact of nuclear waste on electronic equipment. ”

Han Jin made a suggestion, but Xu Chuan did not answer immediately.

To be honest, he didn't think about using machinery and equipment to replace labor.

But there are still a lot of problems.

The biggest problem is that today's artificial intelligence is not up to par with it, and it cannot replace people to face various unexpected situations.

No matter how detailed you think about writing a program, you can't think of everything you have.

If he could really replace manual labor with a machine, he would naturally not mind, but it is obvious that he can't do it at present.

After thinking about it, Xu Chuan said: "I'll think about this matter first, you can follow the normal recruitment first, if it still doesn't work in May, I'll figure it out again." ”

Han Jin nodded, and the two communicated all the way to the other side of the park.

In the office, Qi Zhongxing, the chief engineer in charge of the construction of the nuclear energy industrial park, was thinking about something in front of the drawings, and did not react until Xu Chuan walked in front of him.

"Yo, Professor Xu, why are you here?"

Feeling that someone was staring at him, Qi Zhongxing raised his head and saw Xu Chuan and Han Jin standing in front of him. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly got up and greeted with a smile.

Xu Chuan said with a smile: "I still have the position of the head of the nuclear energy project, although it is true that I have not been here for a long time. ”

Qi Zhongxing snorted and said with a smile: "Harm, don't you have more important research in your hands, the nuclear energy project has come to an end, so there is no need to waste the time of a big bull like you." ”

Xu Chuan smiled: "Okay, I'll come over to understand the situation and see if there is anything that needs help." ”

Entering the topic, Qi Zhongxing also became serious and said: "If you want to talk about the problem, there is indeed one here." ”

Xu Chuan: "Qi Gong, you say." ”

Qi Zhongxing nodded, picked up the draft he was looking at from the table, walked up to Xu Chuan, and said, "This, about the linear particle accelerator." ”

"Professor Xu, you see, this is the conversion plan of the core area, here is the area for storing nuclear waste, and here is the location for the linear particle accelerator."

"Using ADC transmutation technology, using linear particle accelerators to complete neutron diffusion, increase the reaction speed of nuclear waste, and improve energy conversion efficiency, this is one of the cores of the whole system of radiant energy conversion, which can increase a certain degree of power generation and accelerate the reaction in nuclear waste."

"But there's a problem here, through our previous experiments, we found that we can't get enough neutrons through the accelerator, so that the transmutation step of the nuclear waste will not be fully reacted."

"And, more lethally, the linear particle accelerator's energy level output is not stable enough."

"This leads to an instability in the conversion of radiant energy, which is a huge strain on the operation of the entire core, and may lead to the risk of nuclear radiation leakage if it is operated for a long time."

"These days, Professor Han Jin and I and other researchers are thinking about how to solve this problem, but there is not much progress at the moment."
