China has a major breakthrough in nuclear technology. Proven uranium for 3,000 years

Now network news According to CCTV reports China has made major technological breakthroughs in nuclear research: the nuclear power reactor to achieve the burning of nuclear fuel in uranium, plutonium (with "cloth" sound) material recovery, so that the utilization of uranium resources increased 60 times times.　　This means that, under the existing nuclear power scale, our proven uranium resources can only be used for about 50-70 years and become sufficient for 3,000 years. 24 scientific research finally successful experts introduced, nuclear power plant generation, is through nuclear fuel fission reaction to release energy. As with coal-fired power stations, they need to be replaced when the fuel cannot sustain a certain amount of power.　　The changed nuclear fuel is similar to the "cinder" in a thermal power station, but it is definitely not a cinder, but a big baby. Because in today's world of nuclear power technology, nuclear fuel is only burning 3%-4%.　　And these nuclear fuel in the combustion process, but also generate new nuclear fuel. "We have used a series of chemical processes to make nuclear power plants that are not burned and then made into the fuel elements needed for nuclear power," said Wang Jian, chief engineer of the China Nuclear group's post-processing pilot project. "The principle of recycling sounds simple, but the operation is extremely difficult." How to these have extremely strong nuclear radiation, the human body has fatal damage to the components for shearing, separation, extraction, purification, and so on, each step is a difficult problem. After 24 years of scientific research, after repeated experiments, our scientists finally broke through a full set of technical system.　　Wang Jian, this set of facilities is China's independent design, independent construction, independent research and development.　　Enhancing international discourse power China's nuclear industry group general Manager Qin said that in the nuclear fuel industry, China is very few countries can form the nuclear fuel cycle, "the success of the test, so that China has the right to speak, but also can play a certain role in guiding." Previously, France, the United Kingdom, Russia, Japan, India and other countries to master the Power reactor spent fuel reprocessing technology, but for their core technology system each country is strictly confidential.　　And China's nuclear fuel has been developed for more than 20 years, there are already 13 of the established nuclear power units, each year will produce a large number of spent fuel components, in the absence of this technology has only one approach-save.　　Fast reactor technology (FAST reactor) is the world's fourth generation of nuclear power system technology applications, compared with the second generation and the third generation nuclear power plant, which is now running and being built, the closed cycle of nuclear fuel can increase the utilization rate of uranium resources to more than 60% (the existing nuclear power plant is only 1%, that is to raise 60 times times). As the utilization rate increases, the relatively poor uranium mines have the value of mining. Worldwide, the availability of uranium is expected to increase by hundreds of thousand. Based on the current proven natural uranium reserves, the use of fast reactors can make the uranium resources sustainable utilization for more than 3,000 years.
