stood up to. push to cut. the phone. hello and welcome to technology update in this episode will be exploring the revolution going on in atomic energy the need for increasing amounts of power has been tempered by years of nuclear proliferation and safety concerns over the next twenty five minutes we'll be asking just how peaceful is the peaceful adult as developing nations get richer and more populous global demand for energy is on the rise according to estimates world electricity consumption is said to grow by more than seventy five percent by two thousand and thirty five. with many countries worried about the harmful effect

fossil fuels have on the climate there's a big push to move away from coal gas and oil for power generation. but also. but they believe the world's consumption of electricity is growing and so is production of the figure has been basically stable for many years sometimes it can vary for quite a number of reasons but generally one should note that global electricity consumption is growing at annual rates of about three to five percent this is a trend evolution free press and development of all civilization in general. and atomic energy is going to have to play a big part in meeting our increasing needs there are currently around fifty new reactors under construction in the world for the next twenty years electricity production from nuclear power is projected to more than double the present there's at least thirty countries operating more than four hundred nuclear power plants

worldwide the united states has by far the largest number of facilities they may be the leader in nominal terms nuclear energy certainly plays the biggest role in france were accounts for about seventy five percent of all electricity generation earlier this year iran fired up its long delayed to share reactor and connect it to the nation's power grid while western nations are suspicious of their intentions officials in tehran argue that they're only interested in the peaceful benefits of nuclear technology but when you speak about nuclear reactors it's not the only concern it's still chatter. discharging meltdown of the core. of. the disaster in japan has reignited some fears about the dangers associated with atomic energy even though the march two thousand and eleven incident was the result of a unique sequence of events in the anti-nuclear activists think it's just a matter of time before the next disaster strikes the scenario how it could happen

absolutely different you do not need tsunami or. for a half there was a technique of a few months human being. mistakes. culture of labor that threat has driven many concerned citizens out onto the streets of protests hundreds of thousands in germany alone the nation's parliament passed legislation designed to eventually make the country a nuclear free power of this renewed concern was not isolated to just germany similar rallies took place in korea taiwan and france as well despite the ongoing worries about the viability of nuclear power or likely going to continue to rely on atomic energy for at least a part of our needs russian scientists and engineers are drawing on that experience to make the next generation of reactors as safe as possible but in order to understand the future we have to look to the past which takes us to the belly arced power station and that is some one thousand miles east of moscow the plan began

life as one of the most advanced nuclear power stations in the world constructional was to become the globe's first graphite moderated reactor got underway in one thousand fifty eight and a few years later a second more powerful reactor was built together the two generated more than two hundred fifty megawatts of electricity or enough to provide a city of one million people with lighting and other modern amenities. looking at present nuclear capacity the vast majority of the world's atomic power comes from pressurized water reactors there are about two hundred fifty of this kind in operation across the globe these poles the reactors are most prevalent in france as in the us and russia next we have boiling water reactors and these are the cooling isn't as highly pressurized which allows it to boil hence its name about half of japan's nuclear plants are of this design gas called reactors as the name suggests utilize gas instead of water which often allows these to transfer much more sheet

to the generator resulting in greater efficiency then there are white water graphite moderator reactors which are called. high powered china reactors in the former soviet union lastly pressurized heavy water reactors are most common in canada here and they did the data designs of the past and are pushing ahead with that breeder reactors while the technology isn't exactly brand new it's still thought to be the future of nuclear energy production. this is what's called bill we are six three four of the first and only currently operating reactor on the site to be and six hundred is housed here which has been churning electricity and thermal heat for the region's residents since one thousand nine hundred eighty. with the notable they've been six hundred care unit has been operating for over thirty years since the its operation license has been extended still twenty twenty . good prospects in terms of producing green you build nuclear fuel and fast neutron reactors like the v.n. six hundred energy is produced in the core when fast neutrons are absorbed by

a fissile isotope like uranium two thirty five a fast neutron to travel at a very high speed around fourteen million meters per second after an isotope captures one of these neutrons it forms a highly unstable variation that then quickly turns into energy in the form of heat and more neutrons criticality is reached when there's enough fissile isotopes to sustain a chain reaction unlike in traditional thermal reactors there's no moderator involved which allows the free neutrons to was around at speeds fast enough to keep the reaction going. despite its really old age it's still on the cutting edge of nuclear technology in fact sodium cooled fast neutron reactors like the b.n. six hundred have been designated by the u.s. department of energy as the next generation of nuclear power is of course surrounded by a fertile play could have uranium two thirty eight concrete new nuclear fuel from

spent usable material when operating in the so-called breeder mode fast reactors like the pm six hundred can create them. more fuel than they actually burn that can then be used at other nuclear power plants as fuel. for the killing of many innovative solutions when implemented in the design of this power units. this reactor is based on the principles of natural self protection to be in the six hundred pound unit has a very even how it feels the pressure in scientific soul is very low which ensures a reduced load on the reactive vessel that's diplomacy sodium which is used as the coolant is not very corrosive in nature which has a positive impact on construction materials that's a pretty sight a triple sec it cooling system has been appliance as well as an intermediate sodium circuit in which the sodium is no longer radioactive she's beautiful the same that

flows into deterred by generators is already seen and known radioactive. thanks to that technology the reactors able to churn out six hundred megawatts of electricity from this hot steam is turned into power and delivered to the region's crib to longer lease of life the place generators are modernized a host of other changes were made to make it even safer. according to the design there was initially no reserve control point to three spots we had some upgrades in order to extend its operation to its full a result of control point was built it includes the key technological features required to supervise a they react is condition in the case of an emergency failure because a reserve control board is necessary for such emergency. but that reserve point is only necessary if something were to go wrong with this main control room from here all the plans files are constantly monitored while there

have been a handful of incidents with the b.n. six hundred reactors all of them are minor and do. the fire so designated or merges the action however officials are now confident that all the kinks have been worked out but all the plants new safety features and technology haven't come cheap. generally false neutral reacts presently somewhat more expensive but with time as prices for nuclear fuel keep rising as a result of diminishing resources fast reactors will be in greater demand this is a general trend all over the world recognized by france india china and even the us has resumed its work in this field. as the price for uranium goes up russia will be in a better position than most that's because in addition to the already operating p. and six hundred in the coming years they'll be the next generation be an eight

hundred. the active construction of the units began in two thousand and six that's when we finished building the pit for the main vessel and constructed a poll of three meter thick monolithic slap to go under the reactor and a one meter think blog for the turbine whole. work on the four three after delhi yard actually started back in one thousand eight hundred three the construction was halted in one thousand nine hundred six following the disaster churn noble since that time however the authorities have realized the increasing need for clean efficient energy for that reason back in two thousand and six with the russian government added there will be an eight hundred to a federal program came to developing the country's nuclear power capacity construction is well advanced until york for google how was the first be an eight hundred reactor from the afrikaans of design bureau but that's not the only thing claimed at the site. what you see and read is what's already been built what's green is still under construction as you can imagine the main building is the one

that will house the be an eight hundred reactor but of equal importance is the waste treatment facility. highly radioactive material will be transformed into a new fuel and in a few years time construction should also be going on to other structures to be in twelve hundred reactor and the lead cooled breast three hundred. number of innovative solutions have been adopted into the an eight hundred designed to enhance nuclear and radiation safety crucially the new reactor. operating pressure the natural high thermal capacity of sodium as. a protective vessel to ensure problem free operation just like the v.n. six hundred the new reactor will be able to work in breeder mode which means they can create new fuel for other power plants. based on an agreement with the united states the reactor can be used to weapons grade plutonium which ought to help nonproliferation efforts. this reactor has all the best elements that were used in

the b. and six hundred those with certain modifications they rose during the operation of the reactor as you may know the dns six hundred has been enough aeration for moving thirty years so of course it was invaluable to have both the manufacturing plans and the design that took part in producing and designing the b.n. six hundred appointed most experienced this time while the b. and six hundred laid the groundwork for the current reactor under construction and tell you the experience being gained from the be in eight hundred is already being put to use here and where you can find the institute for physics and power engineering. has been a leading scientific center since the days of the soviet union there are currently working on another fast neutral reactor and twelve hundred. of these are developed at the plate and increasing in the country's nuclear industry. small series of the twelve hundred a units could be used to develop if you infrastructure necessary for fast reacted

technology which would allow us to start introducing reacted. on an intensive basis in the nuclear power industry to twenty thirty despite its increased production capacity to one thousand two hundred megawatts the reactor core is expected to be significantly smaller in size than its predecessors but innovation here doesn't stop with. scientists are also researching other types of liquid metal coolant the most promising appears to be another high powered fast neutron reactor cooled by. high capacity fast neutron reactors are not the only way forward for russia's nuclear industry my team of engineers is working on a new design that takes a totally different approach to atomic energy here in centers of culture combines a technological innovation as the workforce of the country's nuclear industry design bureau is developing the very latest high temperature gas cooled power

plants. in one thousand nine hundred five there was a renewed interest in this technology. the russian ministry of atomic energy signed an international agreement with private companies. general atomics from the united states from its home m future electric from japan. joint projects called g t charges launched as part of the public private partnership a year. another project under design is a helium turbine reactor in some ways it acts like a normal nuclear power station but greatly improves both safety and efficiency it is transferred to the electricity generator by high pressure helium gas rather than through pipes containing water that only has one heat transfer mechanism instead of two or more. that means the generator would be much more effective than traditional . simply put on loads of complex hardware are needed. if it's in terms of

efficiency but should make the helium reactor safer as well. without any water involved in the heat transfer there's no risk of a steam explosion. but from us the cause of its shoot from the presence of temperature resistant cereals and the absence of metallic materials the backs of zone can never melt this property is insured by the type of materials used by special configuration of the activists own. engineers or hard work to put the project goals into practice in addition to a safer reactor number of innovations should reduce the risk of nuclear proliferation for one think the special design of its fuel when sure that weapons grade plutonium is destroyed in the fission process in two thousand and ten the gas turbine modulus of the reactor was included in an international nuclear just

position strategy together with other nuclear institutions around russia there for content design is in the process of testing many of the newly developed technologies in this reactor could produce nearly three hundred megawatts of electricity but powering your t.v. is only one of the ways that it could benefit you. the question is should the nuclear energy sector focus on bass me and the immense markets of non-electric complications of atomic power that's exactly what we've been doing researching and developing projects m or really seen the implementation of nuclear energy and the known electric speer. these are. the way that this new reactor tried could find its place in the market concerns how we get from point a to point b. over a quarter of all energy related carbon emissions come from transport a figure that the i.a.e.a. predicts to double in twenty years time and with international arrangements like

the kyoto protocol many nations are counting carbon emissions like i kill calories at the high temperature inside the reactor core neighborhoods. produce hydrocarbon such as hydrogen from through a chemical and electrochemical decomposition of a stroke that essentially means that we can get a new fuel source to power our cars just from water as the world's population continues to grow people are moving further and further afield to live work and get at precious natural resources a new russian design will soon bring the benefits of nuclear energy to the most remote locations of the technology making that possible everything to the linin no not that when the nuclear powered icebreaker in one thousand fifty nine it was the first of a country's civil atomic fleet nearly twenty years later the arctica which was used as the base model for most that hit the water after it since then russia has been tearing through the arctic steak ice thanks to extra strongholds and they just show

push provided by nuclear powered engines since their debut russia has churned out increasingly sophisticated models like the timer and your mom the most recent addition to the nuclear powered civil fleet is a ship whose name can be translated as the fiftieth anniversary of victory this behemoth is the final arctic a class icebreaker the vessel has no problems dealing with whatever the freezing cold water up north throws at it with this atomic germ propeller and innovative spoon shaped out they can cut through ice up to nearly ten feet thick at both the top cruising speed of over twenty one knots and now that it's seaboard it can be used to clear the way for cargo ships navigating the northern passage. however it's also functioned as a tourist vessel leaving trips up to the north pole. its home has been outfitted with additional cabins as well as a swimming pool gym a library and restaurant all ships like this are impressive in their own right which really exceptional as was being developed on the basis of their nuclear

technology. to do since the beginning of this century nasr our industry has been. actively working on an innovative and absolutely unique project a special purpose nuclear station unique in every sense of the word that meets the requirements of the russian technical supervisory authority the russian maritime register of shipping. and international supervising organizations including the international atomic energy agency there it is again here i'm talking about the floating nuclear power plant. over. russia is using the core technology for nuclear powered subs and icebreakers to build the well power stations these could in theory be docked anywhere along the coast where they can offer a stable supply of both away tricity and heat in nearby populations in many cases

they'll be more economical or cold an oil supplies remain costly in difficult each flooring plant will be far less expensive than traditional nuclear stations and could produce enough energy to power a city of two hundred thousand it is. ministrations and governments of countries. that are presently experiencing a shortage of energy are greatly interested in this project. primarily these are island states such as in the southeast asian region as well as a number of developing states. if we don't have the opportunity to use nuclear technologies that are very much interested in the most. it's. the first of these floating in g. outposts is the academic a lot of construction on its twenty one and a half thousand ton hole started back in two thousand and seven the nasa vessel was

outfitted with two modified cayle t. forty eight s. reactors originally designed for nuclear ships and submarines that it was launched into the waters off of st petersburg in two thousand and ten and is slated to come online sometime next year in value chain a city on russia's come chaka peninsula quite fittingly it will help provide energy to the atomic submarine base out in the far east in addition to supplying power to isolated communities officials expected of the great demand for ships like this which could also power offshore oil rigs. global professional community recognizes russia's leadership in this sphere. and also certain concern from the viewpoints of competitive advantage in this area of work but. given the country's edge in a trial that ship building there is likely going to be

a lot more work to be done at this production facility as the vote is key shipyard the floating power plants will be constructed here to the reactors and then shipped off to their final destinations whoever that may be. in their going after which is responsible for the projects on. leasing the ships to other nations means that if and when the time comes to pull up anchor the power plant and any potentially dangerous material will be towed back to russia since the plants are based on tried and true technology and utilize existing production facilities to simply nothing standing in the way of turning the idea into a money making cash cow while the massive barge may get all the glory in press business and photos the whole thing is only as powerful as the reactor at the heart of it. this is a reactor unit that's used as the energy source for the floating nuclear power

station. that's being built in st petersburg right now. so it's based on the reactor. breakers of the russian fleet. however if you love greatest to ensure higher level of safety. on board russia's floating nuclear will be true of these bad boys each cayle t. forty s. is designed to pump out around thirty five megawatts of electricity and produce about two hundred forty tons of steam power is a pressurized water reactor fueled by enriched uranium according to the designers of the nuclear fuel up to about fifteen to eighteen percent some argue that having such radioactive material just bobbing the waves off the coast could make the ship the safety and proliferation risk for them or they could be a potential terrorist target officials however claim they're even safer based

reactors. the modified stations were designed and built. by the afrikan to design the same company responsible for it and some of the others highlighted earlier in the program in this design the skilled russian engineers have turned their watchful eyes and. super powerful computers to maximizing efficiency and safety of russia's floating nuclear fleet. using the latest technology these engineers are able to map out bit by bit just what the finished product will look like as well as one models to test how will perform under specified conditions. with the k o t forty s. already taking care of they've now focused their attention to the next generation reactor for floating power stations. we didn't start with that project we've developed and almost finalized a project for a new floating prime station units this will be a new integral reactor presently there's nothing like this in the world just yet

this project is being developed with the help of the supercomputer technologies. in addition to providing a new source of energy these nuclear reactors can help solve and other global problems the heat in steam produced can be used to desalinate water which can turn a dry thirsty city into a desert away says it's indisputable that more and more energy will be needed to meet the world's growing demand so course there are risks involved nuclear power but thanks to innovations like those you've seen today the industry is doing its part to bell's potential threats and benefits so we'll see you next time and until then enjoy the ride. guitar sometimes you see a story and it seems so please give thanks to understand it and then
