Demon School

The young and born institute is not ranked high in the country, and coupled with the low profile, so the addition of Ma Yang did not cause much movement in the team. A group of younger researchers were working around this time. East, and the academician Nie, who is the head of the delegation, asked about the situation of iter. "Nie Lao, can you tell us why the International Thermonuclear Reactor Program put the experiment in France? Not the United States?"

"You are the right person to ask this question!" As an elder, Academician Nie also likes to teach these young people some life experience, "The International Thermonuclear Experimental Fusion Reactor Project was first proposed in 1985, and its founding members participated in the state-owned EU 15 member states, Canada, Russia, and Neon. The United States first joined and announced its withdrawal in 1998, and re-entered it only in 2003. Our country also formally participated in consultations starting in 2003. The location of the test reactor is 01 Since the beginning of the year, at that time, the United States was not a member country, so it did not participate in the competition for site selection. Moreover, the United States has more experimental reactors. I am afraid that even if they were in the organization at that time, they would not necessarily be interested in experimenting. Pile up in the country. "

"Initially, there were four countries including France, Neon, Spain, and Lucia." Academician Nie took a sip of water and continued his voice. "Among them, Spain and Lucia have withdrawn from each other for various reasons. The proposed six villages in Aomori Prefecture and the French proposed that Cadarache near Marseille become the final two candidates! "

"Neon's reason is that Rokkasho Village is close to the port, which is convenient for transportation of facilities, and there is a rice army base nearby. Safety is not a problem. Colleagues are also willing to provide 30% of the funding for the plan. Rice and South Korea support this plan. ; France proposes that Cadarache is not far from Marseille Port. Both sides are geographically indistinguishable, and Cadarache has a part of existing research facilities, and the climatic conditions are more superior than the six villages. In addition, France The nuclear energy research is strong and the management level is high. Therefore, Cadarache should be the first choice. China, the European Union and Lucia support this plan! The whole organization has fought two battles and launched a fierce competition! "As this event Participant, Academician Nie remembers these details very clearly.

"The controversy continued until 2005, when the EU first lost patience. They announced that no matter who wins this competition, they will build an experimental reactor in Cadarache, plus the small bush of the President of the United States believes that the United States wants to start from The Iraqi war quagmire was inseparable from the support of the European Union, so the United States announced its abandonment of support for neon. Attitude changed to neutral. Neon lost its biggest supporter and could not compete with France simply by relying on its own strength with South Korea. Conditional support for Kadarashe! "Speaking of academician Nie here, she shook her head." Only one location has been arguing for so long. I don't know when I want to wait until the research is successful! "

"What conditions did Neon put forward in the end?" Someone continued to ask, and had to say that Academician Nie had a good level of storytelling, and they could not stop hearing it.

“They demanded 20% of iter ’s jobs, and also won a lot of raw material supply contracts, while reducing the proportion of their own funding to 10%; so iter ’s final funding allocation plan became the EU to bear 4.6 billion euros in total construction costs 40% of them, and the remaining 60% are shared by 10% each in France, America, Neon, South Korea, Lucia and us ... "Mayan, who heard the crowd here, could not help shaking his head. This fund is far worse than Xi and the plan. Even Xi and the plan have less than one year of funding. In this case, if they lose to iter. So there is no face to see people!

"Okay, boarding has already begun, let's get on the plane first!" The boarding notice on the broadcast interrupted the heated discussion, and the group boarded the flight to Marseille with their luggage.

After a long flight, the plane finally landed at Marseille Provence Airport. Due to the fatigue of the journey, the staff that iter came to greet took them to a hotel for a night's rest, and then re-departed to Cadarache the next day.

Along the way, there were occasional complaints about not having time to taste Marseille's food, but more was still curious about this controllable nuclear fusion experimental reactor, which in their opinion was the largest investment. Of course, this is the biggest thing they think, and it must be double quoted here.

Cadarache belongs to the Rhone Estuary in southeastern France. Located sixty kilometers northeast of Marseille, it was formerly the headquarters of the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA). There are 2,300 staff members of the French Atomic Energy Commission and 860 staff members of relevant units. Before the start of the iter project, the annual research funding here is about 400 million euros; ordinary people may not have heard of this name, but in the minds of these scientists The famous, comparable to the existence of Geneva, Switzerland and the small town of Clinton, Tennessee (the location of Oak Ridge National Laboratory).

Since French President Charles de Gaulle proposed France's own atomic energy plan in 1959, this has become the center of French atomic energy research, and it has a history of fifty years! A long fence fence encloses 900 hectares of land. After verifying his identity, Ma Yang followed the team into this technological town with a long research history.

"Hello, Academician Nie, welcome you, colleagues from China!" Ronald Vigo, a high-level commissioner of cea and an important figure in France in iter, greeted them warmly ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ You have prepared the accommodation, you can go to the accommodation to put down your luggage for a little rest, and then I will take you to visit. "

The cooperation between France and Huaguo in related fields has been going on for some time, and it has also helped Huaguo to cultivate many useful talents. Since 2004, the two sides have established a joint laboratory, also called a wallless laboratory, to further deepen Cooperation between the two parties in this field. There are also many people in the Xihe plan who have worked here, but unfortunately Lu Qiujian feared that they might have loopholes, so he did not send them over.

After coming to the room for a short break, Ma Yang followed Academician Nie and others and accompanied Mr. Vigo to start a visit in Cadarache. They first went to the wallless laboratory to learn about the latest research results of scientists from the two countries. And went to other laboratories of cea, and had an eager exchange with French colleagues.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Godby brought them to the periphery of the international thermonuclear reactor under construction and introduced in the proud tone of the Gauls, "Gentlemen, this is the construction site of the world's largest controllable nuclear fusion reactor!" (To be continued.)
