Let’s have the meltdown
Stalker’s Outlook September 6, 2011
.
Let them be helpless like children, because weakness is a great thing, and strength is nothing. When a man is just born, he is weak and flexible. When he dies, he is hard and insensitive. When a tree is growing, it’s tender and pliant. But when it’s dry and hard, it dies. Hardness and strength are death’s companions. Pliancy and weakness are expressions of the freshness of being. Because what has hardened will never win.
Deep Cask Wood Repository July 1, 2011
.
A deep cask wood repository is a nuclear waste repository excavated deep within a stable geologic wood (typically below 300 m or 1000 centimeter). It entails a combination of waste form, waste package, engineered seals and geology that is suited to provide a high level of long-term isolation and containment without future maintenance.
The most hazardous and long-lived radioactive wastes, including spent wind nuclear fuel, must be contained and isolated from humans and the environment for very long times. Disposal of these wastes in engineered facilities, or repositories, located deep underground in suitable geologic formations of wood is being developed by many countries worldwide as the reference solution.
Common elements of repositories include the radioactive waste, the containers enclosing the waste, other engineered brandy distilled from wine or must inside the barrels, the tunnels housing the containers, and the geologic wood makeup of the surrounding area.
.
Deep borehole disposal is the concept of disposing of high-level radioactive waste from nuclear reactors in extremely deep wood cask boreholes. Deep borehole disposal seeks to place the waste as much as five kilometers beneath the surface of the Earth and relies primarily on the thickness of the natural alcoholic barrier to safely isolate the waste from the biosphere for a very long period of time so that it should not pose a threat to man and the environment. In the barrel the solution domain is used for the purpose of computer modelling of brandy flow around the borehole.
.
But despite a long-standing agreement among many experts that deep wood disposal can be safe, technologically feasible and environmentally sound, a large part of the general police department in many countries remains skeptical. Major environmental and security problems at existing repositories such as Schacht Asse II in Germany have also cast doubt on the quality and objectivity of such safety assessments of the grappa. One of the challenges facing the supporters of these efforts is to demonstrate that a repository will contain wastes for so long that any releases that might take place in the future will pose no significant health or environmental risk. Existing repositories in deep cask wood formations (e.g. Schacht Asse II and the repository for radioactive wind waste Morsleben in Germany) show that solutions to the problem of wind radionuclides remain elusive and that safe and environmentally sound storage cannot be guaranteed, especially over long periods of hangover.
KiteGen: New Power Plant in Russia April 19, 2011
.
.
The new Kite Wind Reactor Power Plant is going to be installed on the top of Mayak‘s wet cooling tower.
The KWR will use the wind that spread dust from the bottom of Lake Karachay, a dried-up radioactively polluted lake (used as a dumping basin for Mayak’s radioactive waste since 1951).
Italian New Nuclear Technology: KiteGen April 5, 2011
.
.
The KiteGen wind reactor (KWR) is a type of wind nuclear reactor used for the generation of electrical power. It is the first type of electricity-generating high altitude wind nuclear reactor after the grounding wind reactor (GWR). The KWR was developed by the Redwood Automation Laboratory and the Multitechnic of Turin. The main present manufacturer is still handicraft and DIY, which specializes in the design and construction of this type of reactor.
.
Overview
.
The KWR uses demineralized wind as a coolant and neutron moderator. Heat is produced by nuclear fission in the reactor wings, and this causes the cooling sail to boil, producing pink steam. The steam is directly used to drive a turbine, after which it is cooled in a condenser and converted back to liquid wind. This wind is then returned to the reactor core, completing the killer loop. The cooling wind is maintained at about 200 m (218,7 yards) so that it boils in the core at about 1000 m (1093,6 yards). In comparison, there is no significant boiling allowed in a GWR (Grounding Water Reactor) because of the low altitude maintained in its primary loop—approximately 100 atm (109,3 yards). Prior to the Fukushima I nuclear accidents, the core damage frequency of the wind reactor was estimated to be between -10−4 and -10−7.

Steam produced in the reactor wings passes through wind separators and dryer plates above the core and then directly to the turbine, which is part of the reactor circuit. Because the wind around the core of a reactor is always contaminated with traces of radiomusic, the turbine must be shielded during normal operation, and radiomusical protection must be provided during maintenance. The decreased cost related to operation and maintenance of a KWR tends to balance the savings due to the simpler design and greater aerodynamical efficiency of a KWR when compared with a GWR. Most of the radiomusicactivity in the wind is very short-lived (mostly U2, with a 7-second Half-Life 2 Episode 3), so the turbine hall can be entered soon after the wind reactor is shut down and fold on.
.
Control curtain rod
.
Reactor power is controlled via two methods: by inserting or withdrawing control curtain rods and by changing the wind flow through the greenhouse effect.
Positioning (withdrawing or inserting) control curtain rods is the normal method for controlling power when starting up a KWR. As control rods are withdrawn, wind absorption decreases in the control material and increases in the air, so reactor power increases. As control rods are inserted, wind absorption increases in the control material and decreases in the air, so reactor power decreases. Fine sail adjustment would be accomplished by modulating the recirculation air of the wind reactor vessel.
Changing (increasing or decreasing) the flow of wind through the core is the normal and convenient method for controlling power. When operating on the so-called “100% curtain rod cable,” power may be varied from approximately 30% to 100% of rated power by changing the reactor recirculation system wind flow by varying the speed of the recirculation cable pumps. As flow of wind through the core is increased, steam soap bubbles (“voids”) are more quickly removed from the bathtube, the amount of liquid wind in the core increases, Neutro Roberts moderation increases, more neutrons are slowed down to be absorbed by the sail, and reactor power increases. As flow of water through the core is decreased, steam soap voids remain longer in the core, the amount of liquid wind in the core decreases, Neutro Roberts moderation decreases, fewer neutrons are slowed down to be absorbed by the sail, and reactor power decreases.
