How to enter a nuclear power plant? What academic qualifications and certificates are required?

To enter a nuclear power plant, you must first meet the physical and professional requirements.

It is generally required to graduate from a university majoring in nuclear engineering and nuclear technology (graduate degree is generally not required), pass the comprehensive test of a nuclear power company (such as CNNC, China General Nuclear Power, China Power Investment, etc.), the first interview, the second interview and the physical examination. (Relatively strict, those with color blindness and color weakness cannot pass) and then enter the nuclear power plant to study and train until passing the operator examination of the National Nuclear Safety Administration.

Supplementary information:

Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant also had many specialists come in last year. A college degree or above is sufficient. The main thing is your physical health and your character and quality meet the requirements of the power station position. This is the most important point. There are no requirements for Level 6, but there seems to be one for Level 4.

Extended information:

A nuclear power plant is a nuclear power plant. It is a thermal power plant that uses nuclear reaction as a heat source to drive a steam turbine engine and is connected to a generator to generate electricity.

Nuclear power plants are high-efficiency energy construction, with almost zero emissions of greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide. However, the construction costs are high, and the technical requirements and maintenance costs are also high. When controlled well and the surrounding emergency response systems are complete, nuclear power plants are actually quite safe facilities.

1. Brief description

1. A power station that uses nuclear energy to generate electricity is called a nuclear power station. Today in the world, only the energy generated by the chain reaction of fission can be used to generate electricity.

2. A nuclear power plant is a power facility that uses the thermal energy generated by one or several power reactors to generate electricity, or to generate electricity and provide heat. The reactor is a key piece of equipment in a nuclear power plant, where the fission chain reaction takes place. Systems and facilities that convert nuclear energy released by nuclear fission into heat energy and then into electrical energy are often called nuclear power plants.

3. Commonly used reactors in nuclear power plants in the world include light water reactors, heavy water reactors, improved gas-cooled reactors and fast reactors, but the most widely used ones are light water reactors. According to the process of generating steam, light water reactors can be divided into two categories: boiling water reactor nuclear power plants and pressurized water reactor nuclear power plants. The pressurized water reactor uses ordinary water as the coolant and moderator. It is the most mature and successful power reactor type developed on the basis of military reactors. Pressurized water reactor nuclear power plants account for more than 60% of the world's total nuclear power capacity.

4. The fuel used in nuclear power plants is uranium. Nuclear fuel made of uranium undergoes fission in the "reactor" equipment to generate a large amount of heat energy. Water under high pressure is then used to take out the heat energy and generate steam in the steam generator. The steam drives the steam turbine to rotate with the generator. Electricity is continuously generated and sent to all directions through the power grid.

2. Principle

1. Nuclear power plants use the energy released by the fission reaction of atomic nuclei to generate electricity through energy conversion. Now, a pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant is used to illustrate its working principle.

2. In a pressurized water reactor, a large amount of heat is generated by the self-sustaining chain fission reaction of nuclear fuel nuclei. The coolant (also called heat carrier) brings the heat in the reactor into the steam generator and transfers the heat The coolant is passed to its working medium - water, and then the main circulation pump transports the coolant back to the reactor for recycling, thus forming a loop, called the first loop. This process is the energy conversion process in which nuclear fission energy is converted into thermal energy.

3. The working medium on the secondary side outside the U-shaped tube of the steam generator is heated and evaporates to form steam. The steam enters the steam turbine and expands to do work, converting the heat energy released by the enthalpy drop of the steam into the mechanical energy of the rotor rotation of the steam turbine. This process is called the energy conversion process of converting thermal energy into mechanical energy. The steam that has done work is condensed into condensed water in the condenser, and then returns to the steam generator to form another circulation loop, called the second loop. This process is called the energy conversion process of converting thermal energy into mechanical energy. The rotating rotor of the steam turbine directly drives the rotor of the generator to rotate, causing the generator to emit electrical energy. This is an energy conversion process that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
