Chapter 541: Three Generations of Reactors
How Feng Fei snatched food from the tiger's mouth and snatched a large uranium mine from the mouth of Western countries to become China's uranium mine supply. The details are not only Gao Yonggang didn't know, but even the people in Peng Xiaotong's position did not know. However, they knew one thing, that is, the headquarters rewarded Feng Fei, which was caused by this.
Just selling some howitzers is only a contribution to Dongxiang Machinery Factory. It can be regarded as an advanced deed of a military industry "going out", and it cannot reach the level of commendation by the headquarters. To solve the problem of uranium supply for the country, its significance is not limited to energy guarantees, but also at the level of national security. Who said that the world will be harmonious after the end of the Cold War? Without a few treasures to protect the house, how could a big country like China carry out modernization steadily?
"Haha, it turns out that I am a tiger father without a dog son. I have obtained the authorization of the company's leader and can make a decision. As long as Comrade Xiao Feng is willing, our National Nuclear Corporation welcomes Comrade Xiao Feng to join at any time."
After hearing about Feng Lintao's origin, Gao Yonggang had no hesitation anymore. China's nuclear power industry originated from the military system. Liang Yueqian and Gao Yonggang were all from nuclear submarines in their early years. Later, the country launched the 728 Project, which is the predecessor of the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant, so they gradually turned to the civilian nuclear industry, and their identities remained in the military system. As military workers, they had a passion for the children of military industry. I heard that Feng Lintao's father Feng Fei was still such a hero and model, and he had a greater likeness for Feng Lintao.
"Haha, then I'll thank Director Gao and General Manager Liang for Xiaofeng. Xiaofeng, it seems that you are benefiting from your father's glory." Peng Xiaotong thanked Gao Yonggang while teasing Feng Lintao.
Feng Lintao suddenly became depressed, and he said silly: "I... I didn't want to take advantage of this."
"How can this be considered a precaution?" Peng Xiaotong smiled and scolded, "Comrade Feng Fei is willing to stick to such a difficult environment as Africa for the sake of national interests. By the way, I heard that your mother has also been with him in Africa for many years. As their child, it is also necessary to be taken care of."
Feng Lintao said: "I don't want to gain status by relying on my parents' contributions. In this way, no matter where I go, when people introduce me, they will say that I am Feng Fei's son. I hope one day I can turn around and point at my father and say that this is Feng Lintao's father..."
Several people were stunned for a moment, and then they understood what Feng Lintao meant and couldn't help laughing. Liang Yueqian wiped the tears from laughing, while raising his thumbs up and said, "Haha, have ambition and ambition!"
"Young people are so terrifying!" Peng Xiaotong also praised, then reiterated and said to Gao Yonggang: "Director Gao, since Xiao Feng is already his own, there is nothing to avoid. You can also take out the troubles you just said to take the exam for Xiao Feng. By the way, this kind of thing is not kept secret from me, right?"
Peng Xiaotong's words were just to create more opportunities for Feng Lintao. The choice of future repository type of China National Nuclear Corporation is not within the scope of Peng Xiaotong's work, and Gao Yonggang has no obligation to report to him. At best, everyone just talks about it as a chat. But if Feng Lintao can have some insights on this issue, even if there is only one or two words to the point, Peng Xiaotong can take advantage of the situation to give Gao Yonggang a more important position to Feng Lintao.
As for whether these contents are confidential and whether they can let Peng Xiaotong and Feng Lintao know, Gao Yonggang must have a clear idea. He will definitely say what he can say. He will also have a suitable way to refuse what he cannot say. Peng Xiaotong doesn't have to worry about whether Gao Yonggang will feel embarrassed.
Sure enough, when Gao Yonggang heard Peng Xiaotong say this, he smiled and said, "We still keep this issue confidential to the outside world, but what else can be kept confidential in front of Director Peng? Xiao Feng, from now on, you are a member of our National Nuclear Corporation. I'm afraid you know the confidentiality regulations, right?"
"I understand, the Secretariat Bureau of the Science and Technology Commission has specially talked to me." Feng Lintao responded.
Gao Yonggang had read the relevant political review materials brought by Peng Xiaotong before, and knew that Feng Lintao was a politically reliable person, so he continued:
"Just just now Xiao Feng said that the two types of stacking that are more popular in the international market are ap600 and epr. After in-depth research, the conclusions we have drawn are the same. However, we still have some controversy about whether to choose the technical route of ap600 or the technical route of epr.
To be precise, we have formed three solutions at present, one is to build a pile type like A600, the other is to build an EPR stack type, and the third is to continue Taishan's technology and continue to make the old stack type well. According to our estimates, the old stack type will have at least 30 years of technical life cycle, and the new stack type introduced by Xiao Feng just now has not even been built so far."
In this era, there was no division of nuclear power generation. According to later standards, both APR and EPR belong to the third-generation nuclear power, among which APR is the predecessor of the later famous APR. The Tarzan's reservoir type belongs to the second-generation nuclear power, and both belong to the same generation as Chernobyl and Fukushima.
After the Chernobyl accident, the international nuclear power field questioned the safety of the second-generation reactor, which promoted the research and development of the third-generation reactor. However, due to the technical difficulty and high cost of the third-generation reactor, the owners were also hesitant about the overall shift to the third-generation reactor. Six years have passed since the Chernobyl accident, and the scars of the accident are gradually healing. Many people have committed the problem of "forget the pain when the scar is healed" and have begun to talk about the superiority of the second-generation reactor. In the eyes of these people, although the lessons of the Chernobyl accident were painful, it was caused by the system of the former Soviet Union and could not blame the technical defects. As long as everyone is more cautious, this kind of accident will not actually happen.
This optimistic sentiment lasted until the Fukushima accident in 2011, and it was shattered. Of course, it is hard to say whether the forgetful humans will find an excuse for themselves to revive the second-generation nuclear power technology. At least until the era before Feng Xiaochen traveled through time, replacing the second-generation nuclear power with the third-generation nuclear power had become a consensus in the industry.
However, at the end of 1992, there was still some support for second-generation nuclear power technology in the world, and this voice in China was even stronger. The reason why some people in China supported continuing to engage in second-generation nuclear power is because we have gained experience through the construction of Taishan nuclear power and obtained technology from the Daya Bay nuclear power, which is when we can do a big move. In the eyes of many people, China is a developing country, and its technical level cannot be compared with the United States, Japan, Britain, France and Germany. If we do third generations, it would be fine if we do second generations.
Of course, people with insight also exist. After all, the nuclear power system gathers one of the best experts in China, and their vision is very sharp. Gao Yonggang and Liang Yueqian are both among the group that support the third generation of nuclear power. They are looking for allies to expand their voices. Although Feng Lintao is just a young man, it will be of great benefit to them if he can join their camp.
Hearing Gao Yonggang's introduction, Feng Lintao gave him a vision and asked if he could speak. Gao Yonggang reached out to signal, Feng Lintao nodded and said:
"Since Director Gao has tested me, I will talk about some of my superficial opinions. I think the Chernobyl nuclear accident sounded a wake-up call for mankind, reminding us that we must pay attention to the issue of nuclear power safety. Although there are various human factors in the occurrence of Chernobyl nuclear accidents, if these human factors are avoided, the occurrence of accidents can be avoided. However, human rationality is always limited. If any system, if it only hopes that the operator does not make mistakes, then danger will always exist.
In addition to man-made accidents, the impact caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters is also something we need to consider. For example, if an earthquake occurs and the power supply system of the nuclear power plant fails, the cooling problem of the reactor will occur. This cannot be avoided by the carefulness of the operators. For example, for the need for cooling, many nuclear power plants in the world are built on the beach. In the event of a tsunami, the power station computer room will be submerged and the circuit will inevitably be cut off, which will also lead to the interruption of the cooling of the reactor and the risk of melting reactors.
Traditional stack types lack reliability in resisting these risks, and being eliminated by history is an inevitable result. In view of this, I think continuing the Taishan stack type is an undesirable path. We must follow the trend of technological development and start our own new stack type development as soon as possible."
"Is this your own point of view?" Gao Yonggang looked at Feng Lintao and asked.
Feng Lintao nodded, smiled and shook his head slightly, and said, "Some of them are what I think of, and some of them have combined the opinions of some experts, such as some of my mentors in Germany. In addition, the views on the impact of earthquakes and tsunamis are the examples he gave when I discussed with my cousin a few days ago, and I think it is very inspiring."
"Your cousin? He is also a nuclear power company? What's his name?" Gao Yonggang asked in surprise.
Peng Xiaotong smiled and said, "Xiao Feng's cousin is not a nuclear power company, but he probably has dealt with your National Nuclear Corporation. He is my old friend, named Feng Xiaochen, and is the assistant general manager of the National Equipment Industry Company."
"So it's him!" Gao Yonggang also smiled, "It seems that Xiao Feng, your whole family is famous. Your cousin is really amazing. He talked to our leader a few days ago and said that he would invite us to join the construction of an extreme manufacturing base and put our reactor shells on this base to manufacture. Don't say, this suggestion is really a timely help. When we build a reactor, the most difficult thing is this shell, which is more than 100 tons of big things. It needs to be cast and molded at one time, and then used super-large die forging forging. I really can't get it without a diamond."
"So, have you agreed?" Peng Xiaotong asked.
Gao Yonggang said: "In principle, I agreed. I'm preparing the materials at hand and waiting to negotiate in detail with the equipment company. Now, with Director Feng's cousin, we have an insider. Xiao Feng, you have to get some information for us and see how you can trick your smart cousin."
"Uh..." Feng Lintao's head was full of dark lines, "Director Gao, this is probably a bit difficult. Since childhood, he has been cheating me, but I have never taken any advantage in his hands."
