Chapter 541: Site of Tianwan

From the innocent lying gun of the Material Research Institute to his visa being revoked to ITER who retired from China, this month, Xiao Le's mood is like riding a slide, all the way to the end, he has never been better.
After waiting for a month at home, Xiao Le basically spent a month idle. In addition to brushing Arxiv every day, tracking the latest research developments of major research institutions is helping her mother walk the dog.
How uncomfortable it was to be dragged out of an unfinished research work, and only he could appreciate it.
There is no news from Professor Li for the time being. I do n’t know if I have n’t adjusted my status, or if I have n’t found a new topic for a while, or I have n’t thought about his side for a while.
There is no further arrangement for the doctors sent by them from the General Atomic Energy Company. It seems that they haven't figured out what they should do.
After all, withdrawing from ITER, many of the cooperative research projects with ITER have been suspended, and many people need to reschedule their work.
Unfortunately, the state has tightened its investment in the area of ​​Tokamak, and the existing funds simply cannot support so many topics ...
It is said that the place is in chaos, and Xiao Le is not sure whether he should go back now, but in the end he can't let go of the things in the place, and plans to take a two-day rest and go to Luyang.
After all, I have been so idle, my head is almost rusty ...
However, when he packed his luggage and even bought the ticket, he suddenly received a call from the office.
"Where are you now?"
"Shangjing ... was Professor Li asking you to contact me?" Xiao Le asked quickly after hearing the voice on the other end of the phone.
"Professor Li, we have already contacted you and it is he who recommended to us. There is a research position in Jiangsu Province for you, and we want to know if you are interested."
Xiao Le forced a look on his face: "Wait, I don't understand what you mean, research positions? Jiangsu?"
"Yes," said the man on the phone, without any impatience in his voice, explaining, "coordinates are in Jiangsu, about controlled nuclear fusion."
Xiao Le tentatively asked: "STAR Institute?"
"No comment."
Xiao Le said with a headache: "Even if you and I say that you are studying nuclear fusion, this direction is too big. At least, you must tell me what the specific research content is and what the specific work place is."
"The specific research content depends on the arrangements over there, and the work place is still in the confidential period," said the man at the other end of the phone. "You just need to answer me if I want to go."
This……
It's really a tough request.
Xiao Le smiled bitterly in his heart and shook his head secretly.
However, even if he thought so, he only hesitated for two seconds between going and not going ...
"go with."
This opportunity is only once in a lifetime.
Intuition told him that if he missed it, there would be no more.
The man on the other side of the phone answered very simply, and said, "That's OK, I will help you with the relevant procedures. In addition, your ticket has been changed, and you will get on the train tomorrow at 3 pm."
After talking, the phone hung up.
Looking at the mobile phone in his hand, a strange expression appeared on Xiao Le's face.
Not only did he only find the tickets he bought, but he even changed his visa for free in one sentence. The background of the person who called him is not easy ...
At least, it's definitely not a person at the Material Institute.
...
In the afternoon of the next day, he got on the train and arrived at his destination. After dragging his suitcase and getting out of the car, Xiao Le stood outside the train station for less than half a minute and saw a black Jetta parked in front of him. He was sent to that mysterious work place.
After arriving at his destination, he was immediately shocked by the situation on the scene.
It's not because it's too deserted here, but just the opposite. It's a bit hilarious here.
More than a dozen buses were parked on the open space outside the factory building, along with various engineering equipment.
There are more than a dozen signs he can recognize, and they are either the top domestic research institutes in the field of plasma physics, or the giants in the domestic nuclear power industry, such as the Nuclear Industry Group and Nuclear Engineering.
Vaguely, he seemed to understand what project he was involved in.
But he didn't think of it and couldn't believe that the progress of the STAR Institute was so fast.
The world is guessing how far they are from the demonstration reactor, and theirs has begun silently.
At this time, an old man in his early fifties came over with a photo-posted resume and stopped him.
"You're Xiao Le?"
Xiao Le nodded: "Yes."
"That way, come with me."
Taking a look at the driver who had brought him in, Xiao Le swallowed and immediately dragged his suitcase to follow.
Barely following the old man's footsteps, he couldn't help asking what was happening here.
"I'm in Tokamak. You probably do star-studs here. Find me here ..."
"What you said has nothing to do with me," took him to the institute, and the old man said blankly, "I'm only responsible for taking you in. If you have any questions, just ask that person."
that person?
Who?
Although Xiao Le wanted to ask this question, but saw that the old man had no plans to answer his questions about the institute, he closed his mouth silently.
After looking around, he asked an insignificant question.
"So many people, how to solve the problem of confidentiality?"
Hearing this question, the old man who had been expressionless suddenly smiled.
"Boy, do you know your grandpa's name?"
"……do not know."
Nobody remembers this thing.
Xiao Le spoke in his heart.
The old man pointed at the driver who was not far behind him.
"Want to know, you can ask him."
...
Site selection requirements for nuclear power plants are very high.
In accordance with internationally accepted principles for site selection, factors such as geology, surface, meteorology, hydrology, environmental protection, civil engineering, transportation, power plant technology, power grid, and society must be strictly considered.
First, geographically, no deep fault zone must pass through the deep part of the site, and no active fault within a few kilometers of the nuclear power plant is required. In the nearby 100 kilometers of waters and 50 kilometers inland, there is no earthquake with a magnitude of 6 or greater in history.
Followed by transportation.
The design of the entire reactor is several times more complex than that of a fission reactor, and the volume is also much larger. The various components involved cannot be produced locally in Suzhou, and can only be shipped to the site for assembly after production.
Taking all these factors into consideration, there are not many places in the whole province that can meet this condition.
After discussions at the expert meeting and consultation with the provincial government, the site selection of the STAR-2 demonstration reactor was finally determined near Haizhou Tianwan-Tianwan Nuclear Power Station.
Once there are ready-made resources to be used here, the site reserved for the Phase III project of Tianwan Nuclear Power Station can be used as an experimental plant for demonstration reactors. Secondly, the engineers here are all experts in the field of nuclear power and have rich experience. They can also help a lot in the design of demonstration reactors and specific engineering issues.
As for security issues, there is no need to worry about Lu Zhou.
At the same time as the site selection for the demonstration reactor was completed, a regiment-level combat unit had arrived in the area and had completed its deployment.
On the other hand, after the project site was completed, Lu Zhou then rushed to the site non-stop, and conducted on-site inspections with the engineers of the Nuclear Industry Group on the construction site and exchanged views on the design of the demonstration reactor.
At the same time, in less than a week, thousands of researchers from major research institutions and engineers in related fields have gathered here.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of this project, the state has basically satisfied all the conditions proposed by Lu Zhou.
Ask for money, ask for money.
"I brought it with me," took Xiao Le into the laboratory, and the old man put his resume on the table.
Lu Zhou nodded to him.
"Tough work for you."
The old man waved his hand.
"Thank you for this little thing. You are busy, I'll go first."
When he left the office, the old man took the door.
Looking at Xiao Le with a tense face, Lu Zhou said with a smile.
"Relax, don't be so nervous, I came to you just to ask you a few questions."
Xiao Legan laughed and said, "I'm nervous when I see the idol."
idol?
Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly.
The guy is very eye-catching.
He also believes that his face has the potential to be an idol.
but……
This is obviously not the time for gagging.
He gave a slight cough, and condensed his expression of laughter, Lu Zhou asked, "I have heard from the Institute of Materials, have you visited the DIII-D laboratory of General Atomic Energy Company?"
"Yes ..." It seemed that I answered too simple and did not show enough respect, Xiao Le quickly added the sentence, "I have passed with Professor Li since I just read the Ph.D., and I visited there for four The year is the longest time spent there. "
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I know that's why I asked you to come over."
Having said that, he paused for a moment before continuing.
"Since you have been there for four years, I believe you still know a lot about the situation over there. As for their heating technology, I would like to know, which direction are they mainly studying now? Where is the research going? Anymore? "
Hearing Lu Zhou asked about his familiar field, Xiao Le replied immediately: "They are mainly studying the direction of ion cyclotron resonance heating ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Currently ..."
Listening carefully to Xiao Le's explanation, Lu Zhou's index finger rubbed his chin, and nodded from time to time.
It must be acknowledged that DIII-D's heating technology and plasma diagnostic technology are very strong.
The latter has been replaced by the He-3 atom probe technology, which need not be considered for the time being.
As for the former, although not critically important, it still deserves attention.
After all, the demonstration reactor is different from the experimental reactor, the latter can be done, but the former will not be.
Any shortcomings in technical details will eventually be reflected in the efficiency of energy output.
What's more, through these detailed issues, combined with his own experience in controllable fusion research, he can also roughly infer what step General Atomic Energy has taken in the research on controllable fusion, which is far from the demonstration reactor how far.
In the following time, Lu Zhou asked many more about the progress of the experiments on DIII-D, and Xiao Le also responded to each one clearly.
In the end, Lu Zhou thought for a moment and said.
"Tokamak's heating device is not perfectly matched on the star simulator, but the heating principle is similar."
"We plan to redesign the ICRF heating antenna on the EAST device to a version that can be used on a stellar."
"If you are interested in staying, I can introduce you to this group."
This is my own ...
Are you holding your thighs?
Hearing this sentence, Xiao Le was so excited, he nodded immediately, "I do!"
Sure enough, agreeing to that call was a very right choice ...
