We’ve already written about the Kursk Nuclear Power Station and about its structure and history. Now let’s see some other details.
The daybreak near the cooling pound.
The reactor hall. The active reactor zone is a laying of graphite blocks with cylindrical fuel apertures. The reactor is surrounded by a light protective shroud and steel plates. Tanks with water stand near it and all spaces are covered with sand.
The process channel is a tube construction with 18 heat-generating assemblies fastened in a frame.
The used fuel is extremely radioactive and ignites spontaneously at high temperatures. That is why it is kept in special pools for 3-5 years, then sent to further storage or to processing.
The radiation background in the plant exceeds the norm for 1000 times. Of course, long staying here is not recommended.
More buttons and knobs.
Do you think anyone pays attention to all of those lights and gauges or do they let the computer do all the work at monitoring them?
more nuke energy plants….
hehe. is it just me or did the catfish remind you of the simpsons t eyed fish that likes in the nuclear powerplant?
Yes I thought the same thing. Very good
Red wine, grapes and oranges – just in case?
