v3 Chapter 505： Sensible voice (1/2)
The latest website: ”In order to counteract the poisoning, we have successively drawn out some control rods to increase the power of the reactor and stabilized at 200 MW.”
”How many?”
”what?”
”How many control rods did you draw?” Besonova asked.
”I don't remember clearly. The specific operation was done by Topunov,” Akimov swallowed. His whole body looked tense and his breath was short, as if he was drowning.
Besonova had to find a pack of cigarettes and took one to light him. Akimov took a sip and began to cough non-stop, and the hand holding the cigarette was still shaking. But half a minute later he sucked hard again, and his emotions stabilized.
”28, and finally there are 28 control rods left in the reactor. This is the bottom line specified in the safety manual. During the fuel combustion process, at least 28 to 30 control rods need to be kept in the core. We follow the safety manual. , So there should be 28 control rods at the core. ”
”Okay, next, let's talk about the explosion.”
”Uh, okay.” Akimov nodded, his eyes looked dull, but forced himself to recall the situation again, ”At 1:23, Topunov first noticed As the reactor power increased, he told me that there was an energy surge, which meant that the nuclear fission reaction in the reactor became very fierce, so according to the safety regulations, I pressed the level 5 emergency power reduction button to let the previously extracted Reinsert all control rods into the core.
”Can you briefly introduce the principle of the control rod to listen to Dr. Yevrem?”
”Of course, the control rod is used to terminate the fission reaction. It is composed of boron, which can completely absorb fixed neutrons. We can adjust the power of the reactor by adjusting the number of control rods in the reactor. I pressed the emergency power level 5 The lower button will cause all 211 control rods to be reinserted into the core, thereby rapidly reducing the reactor power. ”
Akimov's expression was a little uncomfortable. He said that there was a pause here, and he looked up at Besonova. ”Why do you ask this, the reactor is not damaged, it is just the water tank that was blown up, we did everything we could do Everything to continue to supply water to the reactor. For this reason, my companions and I have suffered a lot of radiation. Do n’t get me wrong. I ’m not asking for credit for myself. This is what we should do. I just want to. I just ... me……”
”Calm down, Comrade Akimov,”
Seeing the foreman on duty turned his face red, he began to speak incoherently, and Besonova also quickly spoke to comfort the other party, ”It will be fine, the fire has been controlled, we are just going to check it out on a routine basis, discuss it Under the repair plan, it wo n’t take long for you and your colleagues to go back to work, so you do n’t have to be nervous, take two cigarettes, and exhale slowly, yes, yes ... that ’s it, well, now you can go Now, our conversation is over. Thank you for your cooperation, Comrade Akimov. ”
