Monster Factory - 940

The nuclear power plant in the secret factory uses a pressurized water reactor with the same technology as the Humpback Whale.

The reactor power is amplified, and the fuel rods use enriched uranium with a purity of 60%.

In industrial design, the scale of a product is enlarged, and the difficulty involved is by no means on the drawings, just make the details of each part larger. At the time, the industrial representative of Zhongyun City, China Star Heavy Industries, had made such a basket.

They changed the full set of drawings of a 190-ton mining truck purchased from abroad to 240 tons. As a result, there were many problems and problems.

These faults are placed on the mining truck. It may be the oil leakage of the gearbox, the increase of the brake distance, the improper adjustment of the power system, and the increase of power consumption.

Domestically-produced cars or construction vehicles have all walked through this way step by step.

These small problems can lead to serious and fatal nuclear leaks when they can be put on nuclear power plants.

The reactor used by the Humpback Whale is drawn from a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and its output power is 270,000 kilowatts. The output power of a single nuclear power plant used in a factory is twenty times that of it.

This is not a problem that can be solved if the volume is enlarged twenty times.

Just like a truck engine, there is a difference in size between fifty and five hundred hp engines, usually only two or three times this.

The situation with nuclear reactors is the same, the volume used by the factory has not become much larger. The biggest change is the volume change of the internal fuel rod. The total weight of nuclear fuel loaded on the Humpback Whale is no more than 300 kilograms, and it can operate uninterrupted for 26 years.

The factory’s nuclear power plant has four reactors with a total nuclear fuel weight of nearly ten tons and a service life of only eight years.

On the one hand, the purity of the fuel rods used in the factory is only 60%, which is 30% worse than the purity used by the humpback whale. On the other hand, factory nuclear power plants require more volume of cooling water for heating primary and secondary circuits.

Only in this way can it provide sufficient power source for the ultra-supercritical unit of the nuclear power plant of the factory.

Change to another nuclear energy company, dare to enlarge the marine reactor for use in a nuclear power plant, just wait for a major nuclear accident. It was changed to behave like this, but there is no risk at all.

The core principles of nuclear power plants have been thoroughly understood by monsters. When building the marine reactor, Academician Liu Xuetao of the Chinese Academy of Sciences also provided a large amount of technical data on commercial nuclear power plants. The rest is nothing more than nuclear fuel rod shell materials, pressure shell materials, pipes, and critical unit materials.

Needless to say, the importance of metal materials, but these are the easiest solutions for the giant animal industry.

…

Thirty monsters orderly commissioned the gas centrifugal units in series, and then moved non-stop to the secret factory behind the Sotu Rainforest to install the nuclear power plant reactors.

In the secret factory, an underground “containment vessel” with a higher safety standard than the gas centrifuge plant on the opposite side has already been constructed.

All excavation work is performed by angry miners. In this huge “containment shell” 30 meters deep underground, there are a total of four reactors and ten ultra-supercritical power generating units. If you let Academician Liu Xuetao, one of the leaders of China’s commercial nuclear power plants, see this scene in front of you.

He will be furious, and he will not hesitate to reprimand the giant beast industry, taking “safe production” as a trifling matter.

Only one reactor can be placed in a pressure hull, and the generator set and the reactor are placed separately. This is the most basic industry requirement. Otherwise, if there is an accident in any one of the reactors, the remaining three reactors will not be able to escape if they want to run, and they will have to be destroyed together.

The monsters don’t care about these. All nuclear power plant accidents, except for the irresistible cause of the tsunami and earthquake, are all regrets caused by the negligence of the personnel and the failure to strictly abide by the operating rules.

This kind of thing does not happen here in the monster.

In Sotu Rainforest, whether it is the manager of the factory, or the general Mopu who leads the place.

Everyone knows that there is a secret factory behind the rain forest.

The factory management can faintly know that the secret factory specializes in the processing of calcium uranium mica mines.

Uranium becomes uranium after being purified. This kind of mine is associated with monazite ore that produces rare earth metals. A small amount of uranium mica exists in the mining area of the factory. Behind the more radioactive rainforest, the number of calcium uranium mica mines will only increase.

Of course, it can be guessed that the secret factory is mining calcium uranium mica, and it does not affect the daily work of these managements.

It is not illegal to mine calcium uranium mica. Many foreign mining giants have such businesses. Moreover, the primary purified product of calcium uranium mica [uranium ore powder] is itself an industrial product that can be supervised and circulated in the mineral market, with a spot price of 500 yuan per kilogram.

Including many domestic ore collectors, they all like to collect beautiful calcium uranium mica ore.

Being able to mine calcium uranium mica and purifying uranium ore into enriched uranium are two concepts. Just like mining iron ore in an ore yard, there is no technology to turn these iron ore into cars.

The uranium mining field behind the rainforest may be used for sale after mining. Anyway, several projects of the Giant Monster Industry have deep cooperation with the military industry system, and the relationship is very hard.

They just don’t know that those monsters have dared to extract a lot of enriched uranium.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you know it, and it’s the state to manage this kind of thing.

…

The installation work lasted for two consecutive days, and Ye Qing also stuck to the factory for two days.

Ye Qing stood in the operation room where radiation protection was done, through the leaded glass observation window, watching the monsters install the four reactors in place, and then connect them in parallel with the secondary circuit cooling water and the ultra-supercritical unit.

Everything is ready, just put in the fuel rods.

In the past two days, Ye Qing has also been reading the technical information that Academician Liu Xuetao provided to the Giant Monster Industry.

According to the data, the most important step of a commercial nuclear power plant is the first placement of fuel rods. Because once the fuel rods are put in, the nuclear power plant will officially enter the working state, and the reactor will not stop working unless the fuel is released.

When it comes to the first startup of all systems, the preparations cannot be overstated.

In the safety manual, more than 300 safety inspection procedures before start-up and 17 pipeline tests except for the reactor are strictly marked.

The overall process requires all the staff of the nuclear power plant to conduct a one-month inspection and test.

Ye Qing was looking through the information, but at some point, a delicate master knocked on the door and entered.

“Boss, the Juli hard workers have already brought in the fuel rods. We can put the fuel assembly into the reactor pressure vessel.”

“Have you checked all the programs?” Ye Qing turned over the information and turned a bit big, so he simply pushed the information to the master master.

“I watched it just now, no problem.” Master Qiao turned two pages casually, and then quickly threw it aside, “Boss, don’t read these materials. Believe this, we might as well switch to burning anthracite.”

“Then just put it?”

“Right.” The Master Qiao thoughtfully helped Ye Qing put together the thick safety manual on the table.

“Boss, absolutely can’t blow up.”

“Um… let it go, I’ll go out first, there will be no problem in two hours, I will come in again.”

After dozens of minutes, Ye Qing rose from the ground on the lord battleship.

Next to the reactor, an ingenious master in protective clothing, like screwing a screw, completely screwed the fuel rods into the fuel assembly by hand.

The fuel rods are screwed into the components densely, like a pile of compact whole “firewood”.

On the top of the reactor, the strong and sturdy giant is working hard, fixing one fuel assembly after another to the core drive rod under the pressure shell. After doing this, and then lock up the pressure shell that was opened mechanically, everything will be fine.

Oh~ the last one is missing, inject cooling water into the primary circuit.

Looking at the cooling water in the primary circuit, the temperature is quickly pulled up under the heating of the core.

The exquisite master clapped his hands to signal that it was done.

Just boil water.

What is the essential difference between burning anthracite and burning enriched uranium?
