Chapter 1767

In the National Institute of High Energy Physics, Ding Ziqiang is still giving Huang Guoxiang science popularization. Without these science popularization, Ding Ziqiang worried that Huang Guoxiang would not understand the importance of traveling wave reactor.

“From a mathematical point of view, if the utilization rate increases from 0.72% to more than 70%, it is a hundred times simpler, but from an efficiency point of view, the increase is far more than one hundred times.” Ding Ziqiang explained.

“Whether it is separating uranium and uranium 235 or enriching uranium 235, all are very complicated and there are high-risk links. If nuclear power plants built with traveling wave reactor technology are used, these problems can be avoided.” Ding Ziqiang stared at Huang Guoxiang.

“We can simply and rudely regard traditional nuclear fuel as gasoline and water. Uranium 235 is gasoline, uranium and other impurities are water. Uranium 235 floats on water. They are effective nuclear fuels. Once they are burned out, new nuclear fuel needs to be added. Give an example to understand, right?” Ding Ziqiang gave an example.

“Understand.” Huang Guoxiang responded affirmatively.

“Replacement of nuclear fuel is a very dangerous thing. Even if there are various plans and protections, it is still a very dangerous thing. For example, when replacing the nuclear fuel, the error of the large machinery responsible for replacing the nuclear fuel cannot exceed one millimeter. This is a severe test. “Ding Ziqiang explained.


Ding Ziqiang gave another example, “But the traveling wave reactor is different. The traveling wave reactor can be understood as a candle. Except for the higher concentration of uranium-235 for the initial reaction when it is ignited, it can react by itself once it is started. .”

Huang Guoxiang asked, “Can it burn uranium?”

“No! Uranium cannot undergo fission. It is not nuclear fuel in the traditional sense.” Ding Ziqiang explained in response.

Ding Ziqiang added, “According to our just comparing the traveling wave pile to a candle, after the candle is lit, it will use the heat of its own burning to melt the surrounding paraffin, which becomes the fuel to keep it burning, right? ”

Huang Guoxiang nodded.

Ding Ziqiang explained, “The principle of the traveling wave reactor is similar. After it is started, it uses the neutrons produced by its own fission reaction to convert the non-fissionable uranium into a brand new plutonium 239 that can be used as nuclear fuel. This process can be understood as the melting of candles-like paraffin wax.”

Huang Guoxiang answered, “Through such a conversion, the traveling wave reactor can greatly utilize the uranium that was originally waste, and there is no need for dangerous operations such as replacing nuclear fuel, right?”

“That’s right!” Ding Ziqiang nodded vigorously, “This is the biggest advantage of the traveling wave reactor. As long as it is started, it can operate safely for a long time. It also saves nuclear fuel to a great extent and makes the originally scarce nuclear fuel abundant. “(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Mr. Huang, imagine that the demand for nuclear materials for nuclear power plants has dropped to one percent of the original, and the operating time has increased from a few months to one or two years to decades, or even hundreds of years. What kind of change will it be?” Ding Ziqiang described the future situation for Huang Guoxiang.

Ding Ziqiang continued, “In the field of nuclear power, nuclear fusion is still an illusory future, and it seems impossible to move forward in the eternal fifty years. Even if our country is at the forefront of nuclear fusion research, it is still only a small step. .”

Huang Guoxiang hesitated, “Didn’t the nuclear fusion research go smoothly?”

“Hahaha!” Ding Ziqiang laughed, “From the media news?”

“You are not a professional, and you don’t know it is normal. Our country’s nuclear fusion research has only reached the first step in the first step, how to confine high-temperature and high-energy plasma and achieve discharge.” Ding Ziqiang explained.

“But this is the first step in the first step. The high-energy laser is used to increase the temperature of the plasma to realize the fusion reaction and realize the discharge. However, the discharge time cannot be sustained, and the discharge energy is at most equal to the input energy. “Ding Ziqiang saved a bit of face anyway.

“Next there are many, many ways to go, such as how to continue the reaction for a long time, how to make the discharge energy exceed the input energy, and how to take out the energy in the magnetic confinement?” Ding Ziqiang asked a series of questions .

“The essence of a nuclear power plant is just boiling water. Whether it is the first-generation nuclear power plant or the fourth-generation traveling wave reactor high-end application nuclear power plant we are discussing now, it is still boiling water in essence, using the steam of the boiled water to convert mechanical energy to generate electricity.” Ding Ziqiang It simply explains the power generation principle of nuclear fission nuclear power plants.

·· ·Look for flowers·····

“How does nuclear fusion collect energy?” Ding Ziqiang asked, “The nuclear fission scheme cannot be simply put on it, and a new energy-collecting scheme needs to be redesigned. This is another scientific problem.”

“That’s why the research work on the fourth-generation nuclear fission nuclear power plant is the product that replaces nuclear fusion to the greatest extent. Once there is a fourth-generation nuclear fission nuclear power plant, especially the high-end application program of the traveling wave reactor, it means that our country The energy you master will greatly increase. More energy means more resources, and more resources means stronger national power. This piece of information is our country’s important weapon!” Ding Ziqiang solemnly explained.

…….. ……… …….

“Mr. Huang, I have said so much, do you understand what I mean?” Ding Ziqiang looked at Huang Guoxiang steadily.

Huang Guoxiang heard Ding Ziqiang say so much, he finally understood the importance of this traveling wave pile.

“That’s it!” Huang Guoxiang said a pun, which not only shows that he knows the importance of traveling wave pile, but also shows why Anliang picks things up in various ways.

Huang Guoxiang knew that Anliang was contacting the North Bear Country, and he even knew the price Anliang had thrown away, which was almost one billion US dollars a year, just to draw the North Bear Country against the Neon Kyoto Electric Power Company.

Huang Guoxiang once thought that Anliang was looking for a way out, and thus developed in multiple lines, but now he understands that Anliang actually had such an attempt.

If money must be used to measure the value of traveling wave reactors, Huang Guoxiang does not know exactly how to measure it, because traveling wave reactor technology is fundamentally priceless, and it even surpasses Xiaguo Power Grid.

Such safe, efficient, and cheap energy is indeed the country’s most important weapon that Ding Ziqiang said!
