Атомная МОЩЬ Китая: 113 ГВт АЭС - ПРОПАГАНДА или Великое Чудо?!
you are watching the Geoenergetics Info channel in the studio Nikolay Sertakov and Boris Marsenkevich Boris Leonidovich hello everyone good afternoon a rather interesting message appeared on agency feeds On April 27, the Chinese Nuclear Energy Association reported sensational news that the PRC took first place in the total installed capacity of nuclear power plants 113 GW this is a question is this the Great Chinese miracle or a soap bubble how to treat this the question is almost like this philosophically, I would suggest to start by keeping in mind that what is unfolding, so to speak, is an economic war between the United States and China, respectively, that all sorts of propaganda slogans will be heard from both sides, it is not necessary to be surprised right away, the main thing is to intimidate the opponent so that he feels ashamed, he goes into a corner to cry, why am I talking about this because the largest nuclear energy industry, precisely in terms of installed capacity, as of today the United States is 98 GW, so it is necessary to interrupt with something to show that in the most advanced sector of energy, we, the People's Republic of China, have overtaken the United States of America and we are further and larger and better if we talk about the reality of harsh numbers as of today, there are 58 nuclear power units operating in China with a total capacity of 66 GW, that is, we are still quite far from the indicators of the United States, but at the same time there are another 40 gigawatt units under construction, well, accordingly, they identified the number 13 and said: “Everything is in a heap” this is not only operating power units, but also those that are still under construction and those that have just received approval last year. There were 11 such nuclear power units, well, everyone was surprised by the fact that our news agency, this message from the Chinese Nuclear Energy Association, reprinted the word word, this is of course an honor, they know how to reprint, well done, we can congratulate if the situation were calm, it is unlikely that such a message would appear China actually has plans to finish at least what has been started, if everything works out, then somewhere by the thirtieth year the power will be They will certainly overtake 100 GW and the United States because in the United States the exact opposite process is going on, if China builds and builds then the United States closes and closes the total capacity quite recently in the United States was 107 GW now 98 about a dozen power units are simply stopped due to old age due to the fact that the economy is not booming due to the fact that there is not enough technology to extend the service life and so on, that is, so that everything is calm but it’s time for information wars, therefore, we must push with all our might, why did our respected news agencies bloggers need to reprint this, I don’t know, probably to be in the trend in the ranks in the same message they manage to talk about the fact that China exports the most nuclear energy of its nuclear technologies, which generally does not correspond to today ’s Chinese technologies outside of China, two entire nuclear power units have been built at the Chashma nuclear power plant in Pakistan, in fact, so far all the achievements have been an attempt to get approval from the government supervisory authority of the UK, but there the licensing system is one of the most confusing and most complex in ordinary cases in all countries of the world, except for the UK, there are two stages of approval of the technology itself, compliance with the requirements of the post-Focusim safety code and a second license for the construction of nuclear power plants on a specific site, they seem to always be the same, but during construction one must take into account the quality of the soil, even wind loads, average temperatures, maximum, and so on and so forth, that is, with reference to the area, this is the second license, the UK came up with a certain third one, I don’t remember anymore I don’t remember exactly, in my opinion, either public approval is required or something else China went through two stages, some political disagreements began, the UK decided that it is extremely independent in nuclear energy and so many obstacles were put up that China, in my opinion, is no longer trying to overcome this barrier, the UK made a choice in favor of French technologies, for which they can of course be congratulated at the nuclear power plant NNI Point C, that is, again, if we have the first stage, the second stage, the third or just the ordinal numbers of the UK ABC, they are extremely original, they made a choice in favor of the French on Kindle Pointc, two power units are being built at once on the basis of IPR1600 reactors, and those residents of England who have still retained the English sense of humor offer each other to be proud of the fact that this will be the most expensive piece of real estate in the history of mankind, now there is, in my opinion, about 40 billion pounds sterling for two units, well, this is their problem, especially since the French nuclear energy industry is on the rise, let me remind you that the first nuclear power unit based on the APR1600 reactor as part of the Olkilo nuclear power plant in Finland took 18 years to build and exceeded the estimate three times, but now we are already seeing significant progress; the same unit at home in Finland, the French nuclear scientists built it in just 17 years and the cost dropped significantly not 17 billion euros but only 15, that is, there is progress so well, this is the choice of the British, just by the way, why, despite all the economic power of China, it still has with the export of nuclear technologies it does not work out, but there is also an objective reason: China started late, if the first nuclear power plant in the world and, accordingly, in the Soviet Union was built in 54, of course, using our own technologies, then in China the same thing happened in 1991, such a delay, and they built the first nuclear power plant so difficult, it took so long to correct many mistakes that the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided that it was necessary to turn to foreign specialists, but they turned to In the ninety-first year, the relations of the then not yet dead Soviet Union of China were quite tense, so they turned to those who could, to the French, all the second generation nuclear power plants operating in China are French technologies, then China began to increase its economic power, but did not abandon the development of its own technologies and still resorted to the help of foreign suppliers, now in China there are nuclear power plants built using American technologies, using French technologies, using Canadian technologies, using Russian technologies and using its own technologies, which in in general, it’s already good because for all these nuclear power plants you need to be able to train specialists somewhere, that is, Chinese students around the world for specific nuclear power plants somewhere there are preparing is not very convenient China export, of course, offers its own technologies reactor Dragon 1 aka HPR 1000 aka Hualon 1 in general, call it whatever you want Chinese government regulators believe that this is a nuclear power unit of generation 3+, but world experts look at this with skepticism, one of the requirements of the IAEA with which you can you can agree, you can disagree, but the Chinese regulator decided that you don’t have to agree, and so it’s good that the so-called melt trap is just a Fokusim requirement there, if you remember, the temperature in the core was so high that the nuclear fuel melted along with all the zircon tubes in which it was contained in the form of some kind of huge drop, it fell to the bottom of the reactor, it burned through the vessel, it went somewhere deep, so that this does not happen again from below, they put a melt trap, a sacrificial material that takes on such horror cools and does not allow you to go anywhere for the first time, such a melt trap was built in China at the Tenwan nuclear power plant , which was built then by the Ministry of Nuclear Engineering, that is, this is the ninety-ninth year, this is the development of Soviet scientists, which was used for the first time 14 years before, 12 years before that we unfortunately saw in Fokushima, such a trap was melted AshPR 1000 simply no, this is the first question when the question arises whether to agree with the proposals of Chinese corporations to build according to their technology, and the development of its own technology also went quite intricately, China is still so huge compared to Russia, we have enough of one nuclear corporation and they have three of them, they are big, all three of them were developing this NPR technology at the same time until there was a shout from the economic department with which party, please gather into one design bureau and create one design because look at this, you all have the same abbreviation, but these are three completely different reactors, they seem to have been done well it seems possible everything is its own, there is some kind of French accent visible, but nevertheless, the American ones did it a little, well, nevertheless, they did what else causes tension, it is clear that China will find opportunities to finance and find specialists to build and its machine-building complex will cope with everything. China does not have its own technologies for processing irradiated nuclear fuel, and this is, well, in all countries the big question is what to do with it, you placed 150 tons of fresh nuclear fuel in the reactor core after some time you extracted it and what to do with it, it is filled with fission fragments of highly active long-lived isotopes, well, quite the most widespread technology, they pulled it out of the core and there are cooling pools inside the reactor vessel for 5 years, they put residual separation reactions there, heat is released, running water has been lying quietly for 5 years, waiting for the most nuclear substances to decay, the temperature will drop and what to do next, there are two countries left in the world that have reprocessing technologies of irradiated nuclear fuel, it is disassembled into spare parts, that’s what high-level waste cannot be processed - it’s about 30 kg out of a ton, it really is subject to geological storage, but store 30 tons or a ton, or 1,000 tons, well, feel the difference of 3%, everything else is somehow disassembled somehow it goes into the business of the so- called reactor plutonium or energy-grade plutonium, a mixture of three isotopes 239 240 241 is used for the production of moc fuel is also used 238 reactor can be used in fast neutron reactors and so on two countries: Russia and France, China has not been included, in my opinion, for almost ten years there have been negotiations with the French to build such a plant, but the construction of such a plant is expensive, it takes a long time and the question is what technologies to use in France two plants for processing fuel of the first and second generation in Russia there is a radio engineering plant RT-1 as part of the Mayak production association and in Zheleznogorsk in the Krasnoyarsk Territory it is being built, well, so far in the experimental-demonstration mode in nuclear energy, unfortunately nothing happens quickly, or maybe fortunately, commandment number zero safety, the French came to see what kind of installations we are installing there, they came to the conclusion that they see in front of them generation number three number two, we missed it immediately took to answer there is no liquid waste everything is completely different everything is completely different in my opinion in the coming year it should go to the first, so to speak, sea trials in order to it could then be increased in power, maybe the Chinese are looking at this, but for us it’s not just that Zheleznogorsk is a special place, the main problem is to prevent the spread of radioactivity in Zheleznogorsk, this is thanks to the merits of our great ancestors, it happens automatically, this is the same mining and chemical plant rock, it is really located in the rock, in order to equip this plant, I think 10 million cubic meters of rocky soil were removed, a huge canopy from above was blown up so that even a direct hit from a nuclear the warhead did not break anything, protection from radioactivity was there initially, there were reactors there for the production of weapons-grade plutonium , which was stopped by agreement with the United States, there is free capacity and protection from radioactivity is ready, here it is in place, anyone else who follows the same path will invest some completely different money, a classic example is this agreement for the development of plutonium, Russia and the United States signed it so that weapons-grade plutonium in the form there is no more liquid in the reactor, there is no more weapons-grade plutonium, everything is in order. The Americans spent 8 billion dollars on the construction of such a plant and it was not completed for 8 years, it took them 8 years to do it in Russia, this pilot site in Zheleznogorsk cost 200 million dollars and 2 years of work, China understands that the ratio will be approximately the same, it does not have a mining and chemical plant, which means we will probably do all this from scratch, which means look at the costs that We were in the United States, I note that not even half of the work was done, taking into account inflation and getting the cost of such a plant, but why are those reactors that we install and the fresh fuel that we supply, irradiated fuel, willing to work with Rusat we take back to our country for processing the very same 3% of high-level waste that is not processed according to our law, importing radioactive waste is prohibited, we import it complete with trained nuclear fuel, but then we return it in any case, it must be stored 33 times less, this is convenient, so the Chinese are agreeing with us so far it has not worked out, although they are trying; their financial power, of course, is incomparable with ours, but for now, this is how they are now participating in the tender that is being held Kazakhstan maybe they will win, maybe we will win, or maybe what Mr. Takaev was talking about will be realized, that he sees
an international consortium, the words are mysterious, no one has deciphered them, let me decipher them, I don’t feel sorry for Rusatom, since 1999, CNNC China Nuclear National Corporation has been working in China, the first two blocks were built in Tingwan, the third and fourth blocks were built in Tingwan, and now the world is at the third and fourth block I saw something unexpected, all nuclear construction projects are moving to the right and for the first time in the 21st century the shift took place to the left, according to the agreement, they were supposed to build 60 months, they built 48, to put it mildly, 20% time savings - this is a lot of why because they worked together Rusat takes over the nuclear island, that is, the core and everything that is attached to it, and the electrical part is Chinese, everyone minds their own business, they clearly know who is responsible for what, how to combine a Russian nuclear island with a Chinese electric island, here is the result according to the estimate, it seems that there have been no shifts and the deadlines have been shifted, it is possible that we will continue to work together, although there are no such impulses from China, they still believe that they can do everything on their own, so it is possible to say that our bilateral relations have reached the heights of Jamalung, we have rushed somewhere into space, but I would prefer to remain silent, that is, if such cooperation were to our technologies atomic purely atomic their capabilities of everything that concerns the electrical part, that is, the rotor stater turbines, here all this power output system and their money, we could of course receive a large number of orders, but for now the Chinese believe that he can go on his own, well, let him go, we have nothing against I think that such messages that we have overtaken everyone in the world, we are the first and the best until China and the USA sort things out regarding the introduced Pushkin, which is either 200% or 300 or 500 in general, it doesn’t matter at there won’t be any trade in such Pushkins anymore, so here we go again, another such pseudo-sensation, but I don’t think that it was intended for us, it was intended to surprise American colleagues or how is it, well, non-traditional partners, in general, let’s say so, but we took it and reprinted it and now we are all thinking together what kind of Chinese masses they work, they really work, it’s impossible to say that they are doing a bad job, but I’ll remind you, just in case, that these plans for the mass construction of nuclear power plants in China are far from the first, it is possible that now everything will work out, well, I don’t think that this will harm Rusatom, I don’t think that this will harm our bilateral cooperation, because China’s uranium enrichment is also somehow so-so, so cooperation will continue, everything will be fine, but before you believe such sensations, well, just look into the simplest statistics that there are actually 58 power units already in operation, so we can talk about this at this point, I think thank you all for your attention Boris Leonidovich, thank you, thank you, and we will follow the events, don’t forget repost our videos on your social networks, don’t forget to subscribe to our Telegram channel, news about the project appears first of all there, all the best to everyone
