Vilnius called BelAES under construction “main threat” for Europe

The Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant (BelNPP), which Moscow and Minsk are building together, is the main threat to Europe. This was stated by the deputy of the Seimas of Lithuania from the party "Union of the Fatherland - Lithuanian Christian Democrats" Zhigmantas Pavilenis, reports "Sputnik Lithuania" with reference to the press service of the Lithuanian parliament.

According to the Lithuanian parliamentarian, the launch of the Belarusian nuclear power plant will strike a blow to the energy security of Europe. In order to prevent this, Lithuania should with all its strength confront this “threatening project” and take up the strengthening of the energy security of the Baltic states. In addition, Vilnius should force the European Union to stop ignoring the danger that comes from the station.

If Belarus implements its plans to launch the power plant this fall, it will be a huge blow to the whole of Europe, and we must make great efforts to counter this menacing project.

- he said.

Earlier, Lithuania complained to the IAEA about the danger posed by nuclear power plants, but international experts said that the station is being built in accordance with international safety standards.

It should be noted that Vilnius has repeatedly complained to various international agencies, wishing to stop the construction of the Belarusian NPP. Most of all, Lithuania is not satisfied with the choice of a site for its construction. The fact is that the station was built 50 kilometers from Vilnius.

BelNPP - nuclear power plant of type AES-2006. Two power units can total up to 2400 megawatts. The first unit of the nuclear power plant is scheduled for commissioning in the 2019 year, the second - in the 2020 year.

after they destroyed everything of their own (well, everything that came from the USSR, including the Ignalina NPP), it remains only to envy, whine and complain ... their proficiency in non-volatility

Yes, any significant and progressive event in Russia or Belarus haunts the venomous evil gnomes from Lithuania. They are well paid for fanning Russophobia.

[Cananecat]

They do not need to pay for Russophobia ... they have it in the blood)))

[seti]

So I want to tell them - wash.

[knn54]

They bought electricity in Belarus and will buy it.

[Aristarkh Lyudvigovich]

Everything is extremely simple. Lithuania is jealous of the construction site because they themselves planned to build the Visagina NPP according to the Japanese project, but there were no investors, so they didn’t stink the whole EU because of the BPP, and this statement is a typical propaganda that has nothing with reality. Belarus understands this and ignores this stink from Lithuania.

after they destroyed everything of their own (well, everything that came from the USSR, including the Ignalina NPP)

Ignalina NPP had RBMK reactors similar to the Chernobyl NPP. So it's time to change all RBMK reactors. Radiation swelling of graphite occurred on all RBMKs, and on some there was a threat that the channels would lead. In general, in Soviet times, RBMKs allocated 25 years of the assigned resource.

[asv363]

Extended the life of up to 45 years. According to the graphite masonry, if necessary, an SEC is carried out - part of the channels is sawn. In any case, the first unit of the Leningrad NPP worked for its 45 years and was stopped at the end of December last year solely because of the end of its operating license.

[Aristarkh Lyudvigovich]

The main reason for sawing channels, extending the life of the service before replacing VVER. For the Gigivat of electricity is just nowhere to take. When the power unit No. 1 VVER-1200 was launched at Leningrad NPP-2, the power unit No. 1 of the RBMK-1000 series at the Leningrad NPP was stopped.

[asv363]

I agree. But extending the service life of graphite masonry to 45 years was justified, as was the TPX method.

[Nycomed]

Yes, indeed, everything got "wasted", and now you woke up?

[Thrifty]

As if one reactor will be built right in the center of Vilnius! Now, what do they care? If only to spoil the air with their cries? ??

[Thunderbringer]

No, they are members of NATO. They were told that soon, just about the civilized world would once again begin to destroy Russia.
What will happen to nuclear power plants in Russia, of course, they don’t care, but here right next to it.
Fear.
We thought it would be possible to comfortably rob and kill the Russians, but it may turn out that we ourselves will have to save ourselves.

The problem now, due to climate change, is drought. If a nuclear power plant is near a river, then there is a very high risk of its sudden shutdown due to lack of water for cooling and for the operation of turbines. This applies to all "river" nuclear power plants in the world.

[Hog]

Well, they drown the reactor, so what? Where is the danger?

[voyaka uh]

It is much more difficult to shut down and restart nuclear power reactors than to restart a conventional thermal power plant.
During the restart of the nuclear power plant, and most emergency situations occur.

[Hog]

Emergency situation - a condition of a potentially hazardous facility, characterized by violation of the limits and (or) conditions of safe operation, which did not go into an accident, in which all the adverse effects of hazards on personnel, the public and the environment are kept within acceptable limits by the appropriate technical means provided by the project.

[Thunderbringer]

Muffling is just that simple. Relatively of course, but fast enough. For example in emergency situations.

Warrior - if this is a joke, then where to laugh? For a serious statement by an adult, I'm sorry, it does not pull! At a minimum, you have forgotten about such a problem as the level of training of attendants, for starters. ...

[AlexVas44]

Well, why so scare. Each year, each unit in a planned manner twice stops for routine maintenance and starts. All this without emergency situations, if strictly according to the manual. So the drought has nothing to do with it, there will be enough time to foresee it and take action.

You couldn’t hear more ridiculous nonsense. Read about technology at nuclear power plants.

Okay, I'm leaving ...

Read about nuclear power plant shutdowns due to dry rivers or reservoirs in France and California. In all cases, very unpleasant situations arose.

Reactors, in our country and in the West, work on a different principle. Therefore, it is incorrect to directly compare.
The availability of fresh water in Belarus is one of the highest in the world. On occasion, you can always pump water from groundwater.
Therefore, we should not worry about a possible lack of water.

So what am I talking about?
I’m not saying that the climate is changing because of man. But it is changing, and only the blind can not notice it. Sharp waves of heat in northern Europe lead to droughts. And droughts stop both hydropower plants and thermal power plants and nuclear power plants. Turbines need water to operate. At the same time, restarting a nuclear power plant is much more problematic than restarting a hydroelectric power station or thermal power plant.

Why are you arguing with him?
He is from the series "always and everywhere to water the Russians and Russia." For ANY occasion. In any way.
Drought, this is the first thing that came to his mind. An earthquake could come.
And the most widespread one is "Russian savages took the nuclear power plant from somewhere (probably they stole it), and now it is urgent to take it away from them".
This is what peers through a rotten grin through polite cultural discussions about ecology.
This is real Russophobia in Hebrew. Do not say anything directly, so that if you take someone for a certain place, you could universally shout that they did not say that. no one was offended, and we ourselves are to blame.

At the same time, restarting a nuclear power plant is much more problematic than restarting a hydroelectric power station or thermal power plant.

Well, comparing hydropower plants and thermal power plants with nuclear power plants is somewhat wrong.
Hydroelectric power plants are built on rivers and water is a consumable material, and quite final in case of drought, the water consumption for hydroelectric power stations is enormous.
In the case of thermal power plants and nuclear power plants, water is only the heat carrier of the second circuit (or third) and the water flow in the reservoir (as a rule, a reservoir is only evaporation.
That is, consumption is not particularly critical.
In general, the restart of nuclear power plants and thermal power plants is exactly the same and is regulated by the time of accumulation of steam.
It’s almost 17 hours at the known Heder power station, after the boiler is completely damped.
At nuclear power plants, approximately the same parameters

[Victor Leningradets]

The water supply in the ponds of the nuclear power plant is sufficient for the seasonal operation of cooling towers.

[Rzzz]

In order for the power station to suddenly stop, it is necessary for the water in the river to end just as suddenly. How do you imagine that?
And this, water is not used for the operation of turbines. Water cools the condensers to produce water from the exhaust steam. And the water is taken not from the river, but from the cooling pond, a small reservoir of this kind.
And yet, you see two cooling towers in the photo? Why do you think they are?

A contrived problem. Reservoirs for cooling reactors are a complex hydraulic structure, which is designed in conjunction with the station. For example, the area of ​​the ChNPP reservoir is 21 sq. km, average depth 6m, max. 20 m. There is a "working pond", where water is discharged from the stations, because of the high temperature, the liquid evaporates actively all year round, so the reservoirs quickly become shallow. Therefore, it becomes necessary to systematically pump waste water into another reservoir for purification. pontoon pumping stations are used.
Pumping water can last more than three months, and the volume of fluid pumped during this time reaches thirty million cubic meters.

This technology of replacing the liquid is called purging the reservoir, which helps to clean the water from salts (their saturation can reach 1300 milliliters per liter), which can clog the reactor cooling system.

The water pumped into the second pond is purified in various ways and returned to the production cycle or natural reservoirs, since it is completely environmentally friendly.
Of course, there is recharge from natural reservoirs to the "main" reservoir. When designing reservoirs, they take data for the last 50 years, as a "backup feed" they design reserve pipelines and take into account artesian wells.

[Neutron Retarded]

Do not write nonsense. Water cooling of 4 circuits at a nuclear power plant takes place in cooling towers, by partial evaporation. To replenish the evaporated water and partially replace it, small ponds are enough. Such large, wide pipes near each power plant, and not only nuclear, that’s where the main heat removal takes place.
PS Among the commentators, I see, there are more and more "writers" who do not have even basic knowledge of physics in high school.

Let it be for you. Everything is much simpler. When the Lithuanians closed Ingalina, the Europeans promised them to solve all the problems with the energy shortage. Alternatively, build a new nuclear power plant according to the most European standards, giving the most democratic megawatts, overflowing with quanta of freedom. :) But then, "all of a sudden" Belarusians ordered a nuclear power plant in Russia, and the Lithuanians began to "burn out", because in Brussels they changed their rhetoric and softly asked for a business justification of the Lithuanian nuclear power plant project. A couple of years later, the Poles started talking about their own nuclear power plant. And it became very clear to the Lithuanians that instead of selling electricity, they now have a lifetime purchase of it. So they squeal, hoping that in Brussels they will somehow "cancel" the Belarusian nuclear power plant and give them the promised Lithuanian one. The squeals of the Lithuanians have nothing to do with the real danger and ecology. These are the screams of a deceived woman with low social responsibility.

[gabonskijfront]

I live in Kaliningrad, I noticed no one is assimilating as much as the Lithuanians, it takes some years and some Stankevicius or Komisaraitis completely stop speaking with an accent, and their descendants generally become just Russian. You can still catch an Estonian or even a Latvian by accent and features of the mentality, and the Lithuanians become Russian literally in the next generation.

Any movement of the Russian Federation or Belarus will be blocked and interpreted. Thus, the EU will show who is in charge, who has real power. The goal is to establish an alternative regime and low energy prices. To do this, the humanization of the enemy is carried out. These are modern military operations.

Yes, the whole screech on this issue of the Balts in general, and the Lithuanians in particular, it seems to me, is connected with the exit from the energy bridge connecting Kaliningrad with the rest of Russia. Lithuania does not have its own generation, especially after the closure of its nuclear power plant. There was one lever - the energy bridge, through which it was possible to bargain cheaper energy for yourself. Kaliningrad is switching to full self-sufficiency in electricity, Belarusians will introduce their own nuclear power plants - they will also receive self-sufficiency plus the ability to sell surpluses. And the only thing left for the Baltic states is to sit and moan and their trough and pay for the light in their bulbs now at market prices.

[Horse, people and soul]

That NATO Kaliningrad region bypassed there should be built nuclear power plants. Both it is useful, and the Poles will be afraid to touch in their dreams.
