Namtuo nuclear power plant.

Through deserted passages, buildings made of super materials may be renovated for secondary decoration if they are residential buildings or commercial buildings.

However, similar to industrial buildings, especially such underground base-type buildings, are basically in their initial state.

The silver-gray walls and ceilings are also white, and the air outlet of the constant temperature air conditioner blows 26 degrees Celsius.

Huang Weichang is extremely familiar with this architectural style, and minimizes the interior of secondary decoration as much as possible. This is the consistent style of industrial buildings.

Ai Yanmin, the manager of the nuclear power plant, is a scheming and serious person. He brought Huang Weichang and his group to the main control room of the nuclear power plant.

The Namtuo nuclear power plant has been in trial operation for more than two months and is currently in very good operation. The nuclear power plant has arranged a total of three Tanggu 1.5 nuclear fusion systems.

"...Mr. Huang, currently Unit 1 and Unit 2 are operating normally, and Unit 3 is undergoing final installation." Ai Yanmin pointed to the nuclear power plant floor plan inside the main control room and introduced.

Huang Weichang glanced at him.

On the floor plan of the nuclear power plant, three sets of nuclear fusion generator sets are not crowded together, but are 1.3 kilometers apart and are distributed along the mountain in a row.

Among them, the No. 1 and No. 2 are commonly used units, and the No. 3 are peak shaving and backup units. The power generation power of a single set of nuclear fusion generators is 8,000 megawatts.

After reading some information, Huang Weichang looked up and asked, "I heard that the improved unit has reduced the size much?"

Ai Yanmin nodded: "Yes, compared with the first generation unit, the volume has been reduced by about 24 to 27%, and the power and efficiency have been significantly improved."

To evaluate the power, Huang Weichang combined the current electricity needed for indoor agriculture in snowy areas.

The total power of the three nuclear fusion generator sets is 24,000 megawatts. Considering peak shaving and backup, the average power should be around 20,000 megawatts.

The annual power generation can reach 175 billion kilowatt-hours, which is equivalent to 1.7 Three Gorges Hydropower Stations.

The advantage of nuclear fusion power plants is that after continuous technological improvements, an internal circulation water system is adopted, and the fresh water that the steam turbine replenishes at one time can be recycled for a long time.

The average monthly hydration rate is about 2.1 to 3.4%.

Huang Weichang then asked: "Lao Ai, how to deal with the cooling water of the power station?"

"Currently, it is mainly used for internal heating of the base and heating in nearby villages and towns. The rest are temporarily released into Namcuo." Ai Yanmin then added:

"About 5 kilometers away from the base, it is the Namtuo indoor agricultural factory, freshwater plant, salt plant, and then the Namtuo town. The agricultural factory has not yet been put into use. After it is put into use, the cooling water will be in short supply."

Nuclear power plants produce cooling water, which is inevitable.

It should be based on thermodynamics and energy conservation. No matter how high the thermal efficiency of a nuclear power plant is, it cannot achieve 100% thermoelectric conversion.

Even if there is a temperature difference power generation system, the overall thermal efficiency of controllable nuclear fusion is still at the limit of 75.1%. It is difficult to continue to improve thermal efficiency at this stage.

Therefore, during the power generation process, some energy will be discharged in the form of waste heat, and the cooling water will occupy the majority.

Although these cooling waters can be recycled by using a temperature differential power generation module and a heat replenishment furnace.

However, engineers chose to give up this design because the economic benefits generated by this waste heat secondary power generation system may take decades to recover the equipment costs, and the efficiency can be improved by up to 1 to 2%, which is really low in cost performance.

After one waste heat generation, it is difficult for the heat of these cooling water to directly use the temperature difference to generate electricity again. Heat must be replenished to increase the temperature standard for secondary power generation.

Heat replenishment must be added from the external system, which will lead to bloating of the system.

As for circulating cooling water into the steam turbine, this approach is not worth the effort, because saturated steam at higher temperatures is not allowed to enter the steam turbine. This not only fails to improve efficiency, but will reduce efficiency and even cause power generation fluctuations.

Instead of making secondary power generation due to waste heat, it is better to directly transport the cooling water to provide heating nearby.

Huang Wei often knew why the Suiren system set up the nuclear power plant here.

Namtuo is a plateau saltwater lake and the second largest saltwater lake in the country. It has a freshwater purification plant, a lake salt plant, and a large lakeside plain. It is surrounded by tall mountains and is a sparsely populated area.

Although Namcuo seems to be vast and sparsely populated, it has opened the Nianqing Tanggula Mountain-Namcuo Tunnel, which is only about 40 kilometers away from Dangxiongcheng, the hub city of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.

There is a branch line of super highway, and the transportation between the two places is very convenient, and it takes about half an hour to drive.

The electricity output from nuclear power plants is definitely indivisible. In addition, fresh water, salt, chemical raw materials, construction salt (fillers for super materials), and agricultural factories built in the future will export a large amount of grain, vegetables and fruits.

According to the plan, the snowy area and Qinghai will build 6 controllable nuclear fusion power plants between 2016 and 2021, increasing the annual power generation of local nuclear power plants to 1.2 trillion kilowatt-hours.

If calculated based on the population of the two places, the per capita electricity generation here will reach an amazing level.

The combined population of the two places is less than 9 million. By around 2021, the total annual power generation will reach 1.3 trillion kilowatt-hours (additional hydropower, solar and geothermal energy), with an average of 144,400 kilowatt-hours per capita.

This value can be published to scare people.

As for whether the launch of the nuclear power plant is so crazy, will it cause climate change over Blue Star? The Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Engineering and the Shuiren Department conduct a climate simulation.

The emergence of controlled nuclear fusion nuclear power plants has little impact on the Blue Star climate for the time being, and will even alleviate global climate cooling to a certain extent.

Many people are worried that nuclear fusion power plants will lead to global warming, but this is not something that can be shown in a short period of time.

After all, since humans detonated the first nuclear bomb, thousands of nuclear explosion experiments have been conducted around the world, especially the Russian Ivan, who has an equivalent capacity of more than 50 million tons, is not as good as the energy released by a small earthquake.

In fact, the heat in the Blue Star ecological environment is sufficient for the stellar radiation energy from the sun and the nuclear decay geothermal energy of the mantle core.

The heat generated by human detonating nuclear bombs, or nuclear power plants is not as large as the two.

At least in Huang Weichang's perception, with the general trend of global cooling, human civilization will be difficult to reverse the transformation of the climate unless we work together to set fire to the mountains and drive the thermal power stations at full capacity.

However, now everyone is cleaning up the snow in front of the door. In the sluggish economy, the factory operating rate is less than 46%.

As a factory in the world, Greater China has become less and less carbon emissions due to technological innovation.

There was originally a quasi-world factory in Tianzhu, which was also in trouble with internal and external affairs, and turned into a mess of sand.

As for other regions, it is not that Huang Wei often looks down on them, but that they are indeed not qualified to participate in such world-class issues.

Of course, if the group of oil giants in West Asia have made up their minds to continuously extract and burn the oil and gas in their oil fields, it may be able to alleviate the global cooling rate.
