After academician Zhu Bingwen issued an order, the thorium-based molten salt reactor was officially launched.

Under the control of the software, the micro-nuclear power plant turns on the relevant modules and starts to operate officially.

On the virtual light curtain in front, the specific information of the nuclear power plant is constantly scrolling.

Safety devices are in place and the nuclear fuel rods are starting to sink.

The nuclear fuel rods have reached their intended location and are being attempted to ignite for the first time.

The nuclear raw material rods were ignited successfully, and the nuclear reactor officially started working.

Academician Zhu Bingwen saw that the nuclear reactor had started operation.

He stared at the data on the virtual light curtain, and at the same time instructed the staff: Always pay attention to the temperature inside the nuclear reactor, and at the same time pay attention to the bearing capacity of the external power grid.

While academician Zhu Bingwen was speaking, the virtual light curtain showed that the nuclear power plant was officially generating electricity.

Its power fluctuates around 1.8 million kilowatts, and then the power gradually stabilizes.

The output of the nuclear power plant is direct current, which is externally connected to a transformer.

Convert electrical energy into 1100 kV 50Hz current and send it to the high voltage power grid.

After the nuclear power plant has been running smoothly for a period of time, all eyes are on the radiation data.

Because it is a nuclear fission reactor, the biggest impact on the environment is nuclear radiation.

If this micro-nuclear power plant is to be commercialized, the radiation value leaked from the nuclear power plant as a whole must be strictly controlled.

The radiation value around the nuclear power plant is always displayed on the virtual light curtain.

The value rose from 279 NaGry per hour before the nuclear power plant started to 412 NaGry per hour.

After that, the radiation value will no longer rise and stabilize around this radiation value.

Those who don't understand, see the green curve when the radiation value rises and fluctuates on the virtual light curtain.

There is still a certain range away from the warning red curve. They can all understand that the current radiation value is safe.

After everyone saw this situation, their hearts were much more relaxed.

A nuclear power plant without radiation can give everyone peace of mind.

Academician Zhu Bingwen said with satisfaction: As I thought, the silicon-gold transistor perfectly shields the middle finger flow and other radiation inside the core machine.

The radiation released to the outside is very low, far from the level that endangers human health.

The current radiation value is not as strong as that generated by switching on and off the microwave oven.

Li Hao also congratulated Academician Zhu Bingwen: Congratulations to Academician Zhu, the nuclear power plant you developed is running perfectly, and this test has been successful.

Academician Zhu Bingwen waved his hand, and said with a nervous tone: It is far from reaching the standard of success.

Who knows what unexpected accidents will happen if we continue to run.

They watched the operation of the nuclear power plant silently. Five minutes passed and ten minutes passed without any accidents.

The operating time of the nuclear power plant soon reached half an hour, and there was still no abnormal phenomenon.

Li Hao saw that the metal circle around the nuclear power plant was very calm, and there was no arc flickering as he had imagined.

He asked Academician Zhu Bingwen: Is the metal circle around the nuclear power plant the first stage of a thermoelectric generator?

Why, after the nuclear power plant officially generated electricity, I saw that he didn't respond to his appearance.

Academician Zhu Bingwen responded with a smile: How could this be a thermoelectric generator component? The power of the nuclear reactor we designed is 2 million.

The ultra-high voltage and strong current generated during the power generation process can easily damage the equipment.

The equipment deployed in this space is covered by a Faraday cage. What our micro nuclear power plant produces is direct current again.

There are no dangerous consequences in this way, but it has to be directly exposed to the air. There must be a discharge phenomenon, and it is too easy to break down the air.

The outer metal ring is the cooling mechanism of the nuclear reactor.

If the thermoelectric generator has no time to absorb more heat, there is this heat dissipation mechanism to assist in consuming heat.

Prevent the internal temperature of the nuclear reactor from being too high, causing the core to melt.

After Li Hao heard this, he said annoyedly: I should have thought about it a long time ago, how can the power output equipment of the nuclear power plant allow direct contact with the air.

The nuclear power plant has been running smoothly for half an hour, and everyone is much more relaxed. Putting down the anxiety in their hearts, Li Hao and academician Zhu Bingwen both started chatting.

Suddenly, a shrill siren was heard from ahead.

Anyone can understand the meaning of this voice, a sudden accident at the nuclear power plant.

Academician Zhu Bingwen immediately focused his attention on the virtual light curtain in front of him, urgently looking for the cause of the accident in the nuclear power plant.

He looked at the various data and immediately identified the cause of the accident.

Academician Zhu Bingwen urgently ordered: The internal temperature of the nuclear reactor is too high, it is speculated that the temperature of the molten salt did not release quickly.

Now start the standby thermoelectric generator immediately.

Upon hearing Academician Zhu Bingwen's order, the staff immediately started the standby thermoelectric generator of the nuclear power plant.

Only after the thermoelectric generator started smoothly.

The shrill sirens began to disappear, and the nuclear power plant returned to normal conditions.

Academician Zhu Bingwen checked some data again, and told the staff: Collate the experimental data, and start the nuclear reactor shutdown procedure now.

After the staff heard the order, they immediately started to shut down the nuclear reaction process inside the nuclear reactor.

They do this by releasing a material that absorbs a lot of neutrons, leading to a reduction in the number of neutrons involved in fission. To indirectly realize the process of controlling nuclear reactions.

Seeing Academician Zhu Bingwen's order, Li Hao asked curiously: Academician Zhu, can the process of this nuclear reactor be terminated at any time? Is it a success or a failure?

Academician Zhu Bingwen said with a smile: We use special materials to control the number of neutrons in the nuclear reactor.

This material can absorb a large number of neutrons, and can release neutrons under certain conditions.

Through it to control the nuclear reaction process, there is no need to stick to the fact that the nuclear fuel must be completely reacted.

During the process of the nuclear reaction, the suspension of the nuclear reaction can be controlled at any time.

It is not too difficult technically to use these suspended nuclear materials again in the future.

This time the nuclear power plant was started for the first time, and it was considered a successful operation.

There are basically no problems with each component, especially the nuclear radiation intensity is well controlled.

As long as some minor problems are solved, it can be officially put into commercial use.

When Li Hao heard the news, he showed joy.

It seems that in the near future, our company's space shuttle will not need to be powered by iron graphene battery packs, but only need this kind of miniature nuclear power plant.

He asked with concern: Academician Zhu, we encountered danger just now. What is the problem with this miniature nuclear power plant? How long can it be put into use?

Academician Zhu Bingwen replied easily: The place where the accident happened was the thermoelectric generator.

We calculate the overall energy consumption of nuclear power plants, and some errors occur.

As a result, a group of thermoelectric engines cannot consume the energy produced during nuclear reactions.

Fortunately, we had a spare thermoelectric generator, so there were no serious consequences.

The main problem with nuclear power plants is power delivery.

Two sets of thermoelectric generators will cause disorder in the power system.

We also need professional experts in the field of electricity to redesign the power output device for us.

Everything else is fine, as long as the power output device is built, the miniature nuclear power plant can officially be put into commercial testing.

Li Hao said happily: Congratulations to Academician Zhu, the miniature nuclear power plant you designed has successfully operated.

Our company is very willing to cooperate with your research institute to carry out commercial testing of micro nuclear power plants.
