Chapter 1304 Beibu Gulf Nuclear Power Plant

Beibu Gulf, an island.

The completion ceremony of the first phase of Beibu Gulf Nuclear Power Plant is being held today.

Beibu Gulf Nuclear Power Plant is a nuclear power plant built on three islands in Beibu Gulf. It is divided into three phases. Each phase plans to build 6 nuclear power units. It adopts the fourth-generation nuclear power technology. The installed capacity of a single nuclear power unit is 2 million kilowatts, and the total installed capacity is 12 million kilowatts. The entire Beibu Gulf Nuclear Power Plant is planned to build 18 nuclear power units, with a total installed capacity of an astonishing 36 million kilowatts.

The positioning of Beibu Gulf Nuclear Power Plant is very clear, which is to provide electricity for the Beibu Gulf urban agglomeration!

Although the southwest has extremely rich hydropower resources, the Southern Power Grid is also constantly building hydropower stations and developing hydropower resources, but the hydropower in the southwest is not completely provided to the southwest.

Thermal power, wind power, tidal power generation, solar energy, nuclear power, etc. have become important components.

Beibu Gulf Nuclear Power Plant will provide sufficient electricity for the Beibu Gulf urban agglomeration.

As for why they chose to build on the islands, it was naturally because there were not many people living on these three islands, so it was easy to carry out land acquisition and demolition work, and the atmospheric diffusion conditions were good, there were no environmental protection constraints, it did not occupy basic farmland, the address was adjusted, and it was suitable for the construction of the fourth-generation nuclear power plant, meeting the safety requirements of nuclear power.

If something happened, the loss could be minimized.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Beibu Gulf is safe enough now!

Here, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is impregnable, and the national defense security of the nuclear power plant can be ensured.

The waters where the Beibu Gulf Nuclear Power Plant is located will definitely prevent any warships or aircraft from breaking in.

Liu Tao and others attended the completion ceremony of the first phase of the Beibu Gulf Nuclear Power Plant. Everyone had smiles on their faces and talked and laughed with each other.

"Leader, we have worked hard for so many years and finally reached the world's leading level in nuclear power plant technology!" An old man said excitedly.

The world's nuclear power plant technology has developed to the fourth generation.

The first generation of nuclear power plants, which were built by the Soviet Union and the United States from the 1950s to the 1960s, were the first batch of nuclear power plants with a single unit capacity of about 300MWe, that is, a single nuclear power unit with an installed capacity of about 300,000 kilowatts, such as the Shiping Harbor Nuclear Power Plant and Cape Indian No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant in the United States, the Schutz Nuclear Power Plant in France, the Oppeliheim Nuclear Power Plant in Germany, and the Mihama No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant in Japan.

The first generation of nuclear power plants belong to prototype reactor nuclear power plants, and their main purpose is to verify the feasibility of nuclear power in engineering implementation through experimental demonstration.

The second generation of nuclear power plants was the first oil crisis in the 1970s. The energy crisis caused by the rise in oil prices promoted the great development of nuclear power. Most of the more than 400 units in commercial operation in the world were built during this period.

The second generation of nuclear power plants mainly realize commercialization, standardization, serialization, and quasi-quantification to improve economic efficiency.

From the late 1960s to the 1970s, a large number of standardized and serialized nuclear power plants with a single unit capacity of We were built in the world. Model 212, Model 312, Model 214, Model 412, Model 414, System80 and a large number of boiling water reactors (BWR) represented by Westinghouse Electric Company of the United States are all second-generation nuclear power plants. In addition, there are CPY and P4 in France.

Currently, there are 439 auxiliary units of nuclear power plants in operation in the world, with a total installed capacity of 372 million kilowatts. There are also 34 nuclear power units under construction, with a total installed capacity of 27.8 million kilowatts.

For example, the Fukushima nuclear power plant belongs to the second-generation nuclear power plant.

After the accidents at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant and the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, various countries have made different degrees of improvements to the operating nuclear power plants, and have improved safety and economy to varying degrees.

However, now, experts engaged in nuclear power have reflected on the second-generation nuclear power plants. At that time, they believed that the possibility of serious accidents such as core melting and large-scale release of radioactive materials into the environment was very small, and there was no need to make facilities for preventing and mitigating serious accidents as a necessary design requirement. This also led to the fact that the second-generation nuclear power plants had relatively weak measures to deal with serious accidents.

The safety of the third-generation nuclear power plants is obviously better than that of the second-generation nuclear power plants. Since safety is the premise of nuclear power development, in addition to extending the life of the second-generation units in operation and supplementing some second-generation units, the current focus of the new batch of nuclear power construction is to adopt safer and more advanced third-generation nuclear power units, including the US non-powered AP1000 nuclear power plant, the French EPR nuclear power plant, and the CAP1400 nuclear power plant independently developed by China.

The fourth-generation nuclear power plant was first proposed by the Office of Nuclear Energy, Science and Technology of the US Department of Energy. It was first seen at the summer annual meeting of the American Nuclear Society in June 1999. At the winter annual meeting of the society in November of the same year, the idea of ​​developing the fourth-generation nuclear power technology was further clarified. In January 2000, the U.S. Department of Energy initiated a meeting and invited government representatives from nine countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Canada, France, Japan, South Korea, South Africa and the United Kingdom, to discuss international cooperation in developing a new generation of nuclear energy technology. Broad consensus was reached and a "Nine-Nation Joint Statement" was issued.

Subsequently, the United States, France, Japan, the United Kingdom and other developed countries in nuclear power established the "Generation IV Nuclear Energy System International Forum (GIF)", which plans to set relevant goals and plans within 2 to 3 years. The overall goal of this plan is to launch the fourth-generation nuclear energy system (Gen-IV) to the market around 2030, which can solve the problems of nuclear energy economy, safety, waste disposal and non-proliferation.

The fourth-generation nuclear energy system will meet the basic requirements of safety, economy, sustainable development, minimal waste generation, low risk of fuel proliferation, and non-proliferation.

China was excluded from the "Generation IV Nuclear Energy System International Forum (GIF)", and the purpose is self-evident.

But while they were still formulating standards and discussing, China further upgraded its third-generation nuclear power technology and developed China's fourth-generation nuclear power plant technology. Even now, the world's first fourth-generation nuclear power plant has been built.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

This marks that China has surpassed the fourth-generation nuclear power plant technology from the third-generation nuclear power plant technology to the world's leading level.

This is definitely a matter of joy and tears for the experts of Huaxia Nuclear Power.

You know, the Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant designed and built by Huaxia was the first nuclear power plant built by Huaxia. It directly skipped the first-generation nuclear power plant technology and the second-generation nuclear power plant technology, and started with the third-generation nuclear power plant technology.

At that time, it was Liu Tao who solved the core technical problems of the third-generation nuclear power plant technology.

The completion and power generation of the Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant ended the history of no nuclear power in mainland China and achieved a zero breakthrough. This is also considered to be the starting point of Huaxia Nuclear Power and is also known as the "glory of the country." The completion of the Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant marks a new stage in the development of Huaxia's nuclear industry. It has become a model of China's military-to-civilian and peaceful use of nuclear energy, making China the seventh country in the world that can design and build nuclear power plants on its own.

The Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant behind it is also a third-generation nuclear power plant! (End of this chapter)
