The project team led by Academician Liu is the most important and most unwilling project to tackle in a commercial nuclear power plant.

——Standardized rescue procedures after major damage accidents.

As we all know, the advantages of nuclear power plants are very powerful.

If compared with thermal power plants, a million-kilowatt thermal power plant consumes about two million tons of thermal coal a year.

So how much is a nuclear power plant?

For a one million kilowatt nuclear power plant, at most fuel rods need to be replaced once a year, which is about 30 tons.

The weight of fuel consumed by the latter is only 1/66,000th of the former. At the same time, a thermal power station burns 2 million tons of thermal coal a year, which will release about 50,000 tons of carbon dioxide, 17,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, and 15,000 tons of nitrogen oxides.

What about nuclear power plants?

Nuclear power plants do not emit these pollution because they do not burn coal at all. It only produces waste water, which is mostly produced by the primary circuit cooling system. Under normal circumstances, this waste water will be collected and evaporated into waste solids, and then sealed for processing.

Thermal power plants also need to be shut down for a long period of time for maintenance and cannot be operated at full load for a long time. But once a nuclear power plant generates electricity, it can operate at full capacity for a long time.

By comparison, let alone experts in the energy sector. Even ordinary people know the benefits of nuclear power plants.

China consumed nearly four billion tons of coal in energy last year, accounting for half of the world’s total. The thermal power station burned half of the total coal used by China. These coals released hundreds of millions of tons of pollutants, which is the main hazard of the current air pollution. It is also one of the culprits of smog and respiratory diseases. If we switch to nuclear power, China’s air quality across the country will immediately rise to several levels.

Ideals are beautiful, reality is cruel…

On March 12, 2011, RB’s Fukushima nuclear power plant was affected by an earthquake and a nuclear leak that shocked the world occurred. This accident caused hundreds of cold sweats in all countries in the world that had expectations of nuclear power plants.

This accident directly caused Switzerland to announce the suspension of the approval of three new reactors. Let Germany temporarily shut down the seven nuclear power plants that were put into operation before 1980, and conduct safety inspections on all nuclear power plants at the same time. Let RB put forward the “de-nuclear goal”, intending to build a new society without nuclear power plants.

At the same time, Italy and the United Kingdom also announced the reduction of nuclear power plants and the suspension of nuclear power approval projects.

Huaxia was also greatly stimulated and directly stopped all nuclear power plant construction plans that year…

Those in the world who dare to play nuclear power plants are only a handful of countries. Almost all of these countries have made mistakes when playing nuclear power. It’s just that since the Chernobyl accident, everyone has been very careful, and there has been no such complete loss of control.

Time is the best forgetting agent. As time goes by, nuclear energy scientific research experts from various countries believe that advances in science and technology can prevent Chernobyl from happening. But 11 years of Fukushima completely shattered everyone’s dreams.

Although, this accident was mainly caused by the tsunami earthquake.

But which country can guarantee that its nuclear power plants will not be threatened by earthquakes and tsunamis? You know, most nuclear power plants are built on the seashore.

Once it happens, hundreds of thousands and millions of residents will be displaced and their health will be seriously threatened. Large areas of land have been completely abandoned, leaving no one inhabited for thousands of years.

Even if there were no natural disasters, there would still be man-made disasters. If there is a war between the two countries, who can guarantee that they will not attack the nuclear power plant under the red-eye situation?

It is a pity that ideals are beautiful, and reality is cruel…

After the Fukushima incident, various countries discovered that they had stopped their nuclear power plant plans. It is necessary to hold the nose to use thermal power. In today’s increasingly serious environmental protection problem, to increase thermal power projects on a large scale is also irresponsible for the health of the people and the health of future generations, and it is not in economic interests.

No way, countries pinched their noses and continued to study nuclear power. However, after Fukushima, the world’s cautiousness on nuclear power projects has reached an unbelievably harsh level. Safety first, safety first, safety first…

The project team led by Academician Liu is under such circumstances, taking on the important task of rescuing standardization research after a major damage to the nuclear power plant. After this set of rescue standards comes out, all China’s nuclear power plants will implement plans in accordance with unified standards as soon as possible in the event of a major accident. This is another set of safety standards that will be launched soon after the China Nuclear Power Plant’s five sets of safety standards.

It is also the last set of all the safety standards that have fallen apart.

Now they have encountered a very difficult problem.

After the Fukushima accident, the disaster escalated step by step. In this process, there is actually a chance of salvation. However, because the rescuers have not been able to accurately know the internal conditions of the reactor, many good opportunities have been missed.

At first, rescuers were desperate to observe the internal conditions of the reactor, but the radiation intensity inside the reactor had already exceeded the peak at that time, and personnel would die within one minute if they entered. As a last resort, they made various robots, but the powerful radiation is equally fatal to the internal electronic equipment of the robot. When they tried to make a robot that could withstand 50 sieverts of radiation, the internal radiation had reached 100. When they worked hard to create a robot that could withstand 80 sieverts, the internal radiation had exceeded 500 sieverts…

The robot hung up before entering the target, and when the internal radiation suddenly decreased, when the robot entered, it was surprisingly found that the core had disappeared. Because the core has melted through the pressure shell, through the concrete and soil, and drilled all the way into the groundwater layer.

Now Academician Liu and the others need a special robot that can withstand 200 sieverts of radiation and work for two hours.

Assuming this robot is in place, then this set of schemes nicknamed “when you execute it, you can die” by the domestic nuclear energy industry, will have the “artifact” to control the overall situation. This program can increase the success rate by at least 15%.

Because of Fukushima, RB has unique technical advantages in this regard, and RB itself is also a leader in the field of industrial robots in the world.

…

The next day, Ye Qing took two delicate masters and a “experimental product” loaded in a special metal box on the Peregrine Falcon to a small county in Long Province.

The test product is not big, only the size of a shoe box.

That small county seat is called Jinwan County. It is a poor county with a large area and sparsely populated area on the border of the Hexi Corridor. Academician Liu and his team are working on project research in a place two hundred kilometers away from the county seat. There is a small analog nuclear power plant built there, and this analog nuclear power plant is about to usher in the end of its own destiny. It will truly simulate the destruction of Fukushima, but Academician Liu and others do not have a robot that can go deep into the mini-reactor and observe the out-of-control changes in the core.

Today is also the day when RB technical experts arrive. Academician Liu and several students are in charge of receiving them in Jinwan County.

Naturally, there is no airport in Jinwan County. The Peregrine Falcon first flew to Quanjiu City, and then drove hundreds of kilometers to Jinwan County.

There is an energy service center in Quanjiu City. After Ye Qing arrived, the local person in charge got a Jeep BJ40, which was the domestic Jeep driven by Lengfeng in Wolf Warriors 2.
