Leningrad nuclear power plant inside


Currently in Russia there are 10 commercial nuclear power plants, which operates 31 units with total capacity of over 23 gigawatts. Despite the fact that the share of nuclear energy accounts for approximately 16% of electricity (the rest is divided between a hydroelectric power station - 21% and fuel energy - 63%), the peaceful atom plays a crucial role in the power of the country. Nuclear power plants are strategic objectives and to get there the average citizen is almost impossible, so such an opportunity is usually not refuse. Last week I managed to visit at the Leningrad nuclear power plant, which has been operating for more than 36 years.

Despite the fact that the tour included visits to the central plant and machinery rooms, security stations allowed to shoot only in the Training Center, so the missing pictures I found on the Internet to compensate for (unsigned shots - my). Facilities Management reactor in UTC is nearly the same that of a unit of SELA, adjusted for differences in time in 30 years. Since nuclear power plant unit (a total of 4) sequential input in operation for almost 7 years, and the subsequent modernization were uneven, equipping their control rooms may be substantially different. Thus, the role of video walls (above) quite successfully perform Turnout devices and light indication (below).

This is how it looks behind the video wall. Quite modern equipment, the company's servers Dell:



On the far wall placed placards with information about the current electricity generation. Traffic lights green - it means all is well.



All the electronics in the control room serves mainly to indicate the parameters of the reactor operation. Direct control of the station is a hardware keypad. Automation security station monitors the actions of the operator and does not increase the capacity of the unit above a certain value, even despite the fact that structurally the reactor can operate stably in this mode. "Red button" emergency stopping reactor nuclear power plant, located under the monitor at the left edge of the photograph and called a key emergency protection (AP):



Supporting role for electronics, not only in terms of control of the station, but also in terms of information storage. In addition to the classic paper journal, a very common paper chart recorders and printers listings.



There are those in the block diagram highlighting the active parts of the chain. Very neat and informative.



The training center is designed for practicing emergency situations in nuclear power plants. Change control room consists of several people responsible for managing the reactor and turbine power generating unit. Instructor the glass sets the parameters of educational failure, turns quite nasty siren, and then part of engineers trying to identify and resolve problems, and the other begins to report everything on the phone. The instructor has the opportunity to listen to negotiate and consult numerous cameras on the console or workplace of any staff member.



Looking forward to the main question habrayuzerov: Yes, there are Windows Server 2003/XP. To simulate a work station used by JADE JStation, a piece of software samopisnaya. Even more beautiful pictures of monitors piled the horizon you can see in this album on Yandeks.Fotkah.



Leningrad nuclear power plant - the first nuclear power plant in the USSR with RBMK-1000, the infamous after the Chernobyl accident. This reactor - channel, heterogeneous, uranium-graphite (graphite-water by moderator), fluid type, with thermal neutrons, is designed for saturated steam pressure of 70 kg / cm. Coolant - boiling water. Beautiful picture from Wikipedia is attached:



The basis of the core of the RBMK-1000 is a graphite cylinder of height 7 meters and a diameter of 11,8 m, built of blocks of smaller size, which serves as the moderator. Graphite laced with plenty of vertical holes through each of which takes place pressure pipe, it is the same technology channel. On Photography "reactor cover in the central hall of nuclear - elements of biological defense:



At the back of the rods are seen being loaded into a reactor. At the core are placed last 7 meters, the rest - the protective, with a special threaded for protection against radiation. The next screenshot you can see bloggers (right) at the base loading and unloading machine (left), designed for operations with stezhnyami. The height of this machine corresponds to the height of the central hall (20-25 feet), while it ensures the accuracy of alignment with the channel to 1 mm. Machine operator located in another room behind a thick lead glass, and controls all operations via a video camera.

For almost an hour stay at the station (including the main hall), the cumulative dose of radiation I was 7 ?Sv. This is roughly the same as every passenger receives a two-hour flight from ionizing radiation. Those who travels frequently may find their accumulated dose here.

The power of the station consists of turbine and generator. Total in Unit 2 generator arranged symmetrically, each paired with four turbines. In the engine room is visible only the upper part of them, the rest of the structure is located underground on several floors.



In real they look like this (picture, too, with SELA, generator blue, the background, the turbine yellow):

In the engine room is very noisy (it is almost impossible razgovarit ) and hot. Along the walls are pipe circulation loops. It is interesting that for each turbine requires a constant flow of engine oil. To monitor them in even a special "windows". Three thick horizontal pipe at the photos - conductors, 3 phase, which followed a 2 transformer complex, providing transportation of electricity through power lines at 220 and 750 kV.

scale of the turbine room and the whole station as a whole is staggering. Thank you very much Rosenergoatom for organizing tours. If there are any questions, happy to try to answer them. The program included a tour as part of the ceremonial opening of the innovative means of monitoring the environmental situation "New radiation panel (see photo). Radiation background in Pinery normal (proof in the photo), the city can sleep peacefully.
