Chapter 1778

In the National Institute of High Energy Physics, Ding Ziqiang is still providing science information to Huang Guoxiang. Without this information, Ding Ziqiang is worried that Huang Guoxiang does not understand the importance of the traveling wave reactor.

"From a mathematical point of view, when the utilization rate increases from 0.72% to more than 70%, it is simply a hundred times, but from an efficiency perspective, the improvement is far more than a hundred times."Ding Ziqiang explained

"Whether it is separating uranium 238 and uranium 235, or enriching uranium 235, all are very complex and involve high-risk links. If a nuclear power plant is built using traveling wave reactor technology, these problems can be avoided."Ding Ziqiang stared at Huang Guoxiang

"We can simply and crudely regard traditional nuclear fuel as gasoline and water. Uranium-235 is gasoline, uranium-238 and other impurities are water. Uranium-235 floats on water, and they are effective nuclear fuel. Once burned out, new nuclear fuel needs to be added, so Can you understand with an example?"Ding Ziqiang gave an example

"clear."Huang Guoxiang responded affirmatively.

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

Ding Ziqiang gave another example,"But traveling wave reactors are different. Traveling wave reactors can be understood as candles. In addition to requiring a higher concentration of uranium 235 for the initial reaction when igniting, once it is started, , you can react on your own.

Huang Guoxiang asked,"Can it burn uranium 238?""

"no! Uranium-238 cannot undergo fission and is not a nuclear fuel in the traditional sense."Ding Ziqiang explained in response, and Ding Ziqiang added,"According to what we just said about the traveling wave pile as a candle, after the candle is lit, it will use the heat of its own combustion to melt the surrounding paraffin, thus becoming a candle that maintains it. Burning fuel, - right?"

Huang Guoxiang nodded.

Ding Ziqiang explained,"The principle of the traveling wave reactor is similar. After it is started, it uses the neutrons generated by its own fission reaction to convert the unfissile uranium 238 into brand new uranium 238, which can be used as The nuclear fuel is plutonium-239. You can think of this process as melting a candle - like paraffin. Huang

Guoxiang continued,"Through this conversion, the traveling wave reactor can make extensive use of the uranium 238 that was originally a waste material, and there is no need for dangerous operations such as replacing nuclear fuel, right?""Wan." That's right! @Ding Ziqiang nodded vigorously,"This is the biggest advantage of the traveling wave reactor. Once it is started, it can operate at full capacity for a long time. It also saves nuclear fuel to a great extent, making the originally scarce nuclear fuel abundant."＠."Mr. Huang, imagine that the demand for nuclear raw materials of a nuclear power plant is reduced to one percent of the original, and the operating time is increased from a few months to one or two years to decades, or even hundreds of years. It can be done once and for all. That, what kind of change would that 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. It seems that there will be no progress in the next fifty years. Even if our country is leading the way in nuclear fusion At the forefront of research, but still just a small step.

Huang Guoxiang hesitated,"Isn't the research on nuclear fusion going very smoothly?""

"Hahaha! Ding Ziqiang laughed,"We-media news?""

"If you are not a professional, it is normal that you do not know. Our country's nuclear fusion research has only reached the first step of the first step, which is how to restrain high-temperature and high-energy plasma and realize discharge."Ding Ziqiang explained

"But this is the first step in the first step. The temperature of the plasma is increased by high-energy laser, the fusion reaction is realized, and the discharge is realized. However, the discharge time cannot be sustained, and the discharge energy is at most equal to the input energy."At least Ding Ziqiang saved some face.

"There are still many, many ways to go next, such as how to continue the reaction for a long time, how to make the discharge energy exceed the input energy, and how to extract the energy from the magnetic confinement?"Ding Ziqiang raised a series of questions

"The essence of a nuclear power plant is to boil water. Whether it is a first-generation nuclear power plant or the fourth-generation traveling wave reactor high-end application nuclear power plant we are discussing now, the essence is still to boil water and use the steam of the boiled water to convert mechanical energy to generate electricity."Ding Ziqiang briefly explained the power generation principle of nuclear fission nuclear power plants.

"How does nuclear fusion collect energy?"Ding Ziqiang asked back,"The nuclear fission scheme cannot be simply applied to it. A new energy collection scheme needs to be redesigned. This is another scientific problem."

"That’s why there is research work on fourth-generation nuclear fission nuclear power plants, which are the products that can replace nuclear fusion to the greatest extent. Once there are fourth-generation nuclear fission nuclear power plants, especially high-end application solutions such as traveling wave reactors, it means that our country has mastered The energy will be greatly increased. More energy means more resources, and more resources means stronger national power. This information is the most important weapon of our country!"Ding Ziqiang solemnly explained.........，.......

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

After listening to what Ding Ziqiang said, Huang Guoxiang finally understood the importance of this traveling wave pile.

"I see!"Huang Guoxiang made a pun, which not only showed that he knew the importance of Xingbo Dui, but also showed why An Liang was making trouble.

Huang Guoxiang knew that An Liang was contacting the North Bear Country, and he even knew the price of An Liang's throwing it out, which was almost a year. The price of one billion US dollars was just to attract the North Bear Kingdom to target Neon Kyoto Electric Power Company.

Huang Guoxiang once thought that Anliang was looking for a way out and developed on multiple fronts, but now he understands that Anliang actually has such an intention..

If you have to use money to measure the value of the traveling wave reactor, Huang Guoxiang actually doesn’t know how to measure it, because the traveling wave reactor technology is simply priceless, and it even surpasses the Xiaguo power grid.

So safe, so Energy that is efficient and so cheap is indeed an important weapon for the country as Ding Ziqiang said!
