In 2017, it coincided with the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) International Organization. Recently, the "ITER Decade - Review and Prospects" conference was held in Beijing.
During the conference, Wang Xiaoyu, with a hairline retreat, and Wang Min, with a white hair, walked between Chinese and foreign nuclear fusion experts. They gracefully shook hands with each other, and they have already become the only nuclear fusion person in China. And their growth has to be discussed 16 years ago.
In 2001, Pan Chuanhong, the president of the Southwest Institute of Physics of the Nuclear Industry, sent a letter to the country’s leaders and proposed that China join the ITER program and formulate a national nuclear fusion energy development plan. Wang Xiaoyu, then 24, had just become a graduate student of the Southwestern Institute of Physics. He heard this news and was full of pride in his mind.
"Given the rare opportunity, China should participate in the ITER program." In January 2003, the State Council initially agreed that China would join the ITER plan to negotiate. After several years of difficult negotiations, in 2007, China officially joined the plan.
The plan attracts participation from seven parties including China, the European Union, India, Japan, South Korea, Russia and the United States. It is one of the largest scientific projects in the world today and is also the first large-scale international science and technology cooperation project in which China participated for the first time as a full and equal partner.
Solar energy brings light and heat because it is always undergoing a thermonuclear fusion reaction. If humans can control this reaction, it means that generations will have unlimited and clean energy, and ITER plans to create " Artificial sun."
In China, a group of young people like Wang Xiaoyu have devoted themselves to this project. Their entire youth has evolved into a fierce “nuclear fusion reactionâ€: the release of a steady flow of energy to promote China and World Nuclear Fusion Development.
"Young veteran"
This multi-national cooperation in large-scale science and technology projects involves energy, economy, politics, and military and other fields. The game is unavoidable for all parties. Negotiations entered a “sticky period†around 2004.
Just after graduate student Wang Min was sent from Wuhan to Beijing ITER Negotiation Office to do preparatory work such as data collection and preparation. Shortly afterwards, Wang Xiaoyu, who had already graduated from the university, set off from Sichuan and went to the German joint workstation of the ITER project to engage in technical research and development. They became the "young veterans" of the Chinese ITER family.
During the negotiation stage before the official start of the ITER program, these two “young and young†moments were motivated and spurred by the arduous efforts of the older nuclear fusion people.
At that time, Academician Huo Yuping was nearly seventy years old, but he was still "flying everywhere." In 2005, Huo Jiashi went to Germany to participate in the negotiation of the site selection of the thermonuclear experimental reactor. Wang Xiaoyu squeezed in and watched.
There were thirty or forty people in a dozens of square meters of semi-basement room. "The light is dark and the air is turbid, like the old movie scene." Wang Xiaoyu and young workers from various countries are moving their stools to sit behind the negotiating table and watch the "big brothers" in front of them.
"Site selection" is one of the focuses of all parties' games. The location of the thermonuclear fusion reactor will gain natural advantages in terms of manpower and economic resources, and different addresses will need to select different technical routes. This involves the specific tasks assigned to each participating member and the benefits they will win. Representatives at the negotiation table are "daggered."
"After Huo's academician patted the table, he told them with particular daring, 'I can't fully understand what you said, but our point of view is...'" Wang Xiaoyu imitated Huo Yuping at the time. Considering the disadvantaged position of China’s science and technology and the unfavorable environment for the English negotiations at that time, he could not imagine that the old academician could “have an energy enoughâ€. This brought great encouragement to Wang Xiaoyu, who was working abroad at the time.
"Sitting at the negotiating table, a strong patriotism naturally comes to mind." Wang Min was also encouraged many times.
Another difficulty that needs to be overcome during the negotiation phase is the "Intellectual Property Rights" dispute. Members with advanced technology insist on sharing technical secrets as little as possible, while countries with relatively backward technology want more access. At the last intergovernmental negotiating meeting of the ITER program held in South Korea in December 2006, Lin Xin, the Director of the Department of Regulations and Regulations of the Ministry of Science and Technology, was the main negotiator of the Chinese IP negotiations. Wang Min went with other groups of negotiating topics.
“Talking at 9:00 in the morning, Lin’s group did not finish talking until 8 pm!†Negotiations of other groups were already over. Wang Min and several young people ran to the “Intellectual Property†conference room guarding and waited anxiously. Negotiation results. At 8:30 in the evening, the door finally opened.
"When the door opened, I saw Director Lin and the two women of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Treaty and Law Division, Manning Ting, smiling and smiling outwards." The female debater on the negotiation table saw Wang Min as excited as a small fan. Say: “Do you know that kind of expression? At first glance, it is... It's finished!†Finally, the intellectual property negotiations ended with all the members sharing all the intellectual property of the ITER project.
Although Wang Min and Wang Xiaoyu, who had been out of bed at that time, were more often assisted and watched, the patriotic sentiments and Chinese wisdom displayed by their predecessors always surrounded them, so that these young people were all proud of themselves as Chinese. "I feel that it is worthwhile to contribute even a small amount of power to ITER."
Until later, they had grown up to become the only people in the field of thermonuclear fusion. This initial heart has not changed.
From "Follow" to "Run"
In 2007, ITER International was formally established. The upper layer decomposed the equipment and parts required for the construction of thermonuclear fusion reactors into different "purchase packages". Each of the seven member states bears its own share of the "purchase package" production task. . In 2008, the Ministry of Science and Technology established the ITER Center as the Chinese domestic institution for the ITER program. More than a dozen "elders" have "transformed" from the plan's preparers to executors. Due to the limited manpower, Wang Min was put on the post of the Chinese liaison of project progress management.
"I am not a nuclear fusion professional, not an English major, not a project management professional, nor is it learning to negotiate." Wang Min has a baby face with a blush.
Representatives of ITER International Organization will convene a meeting of seven party project managers each month to discuss progress, management methods and rules, negotiate the progress interfaces of each party's tasks, and put forward the task requirements and goals of the parties in the next phase. The content of the conference is not only professional And implied game. 29-year-old Wang Min attended the meeting for the first time, and he sat astridely behind the "China" table sign.
The first time the meeting was held, representatives of various countries sat in a circle. Wang Min thought that he had already prepared enough. The convener first expressed a large section of proposals on behalf of the ITER organization and first asked the Chinese whether there were any opinions on the proposal.
However, Wang Min did not fully understand the long list of proposals from the convener.
"Can you please repeat it again?"
The convener said it again.
Wang Min still didn't understand: "Can you repeat it again?"
The convener said the third time.
The surroundings were extremely quiet. Representatives from all sides were waiting for the Chinese side's answer, but Wang Min still didn't understand. She felt "shameful" but she kept telling herself that "even if she loses her face, she cannot express herself." Wang Min’s face burned hot and he had no choice but to say that he would send feedback from the Chinese side through email.
This event gave her tremendous irritation and also brought great momentum. Wang Min began to “make up for evilâ€, learn and reserve various professional knowledge and policy knowledge, consult the project management knowledge everywhere, and actively participate in various discussions.
Not long after she embarked on the journey to “make up for evilâ€, Wang Xiaoyu, who was in Germany, also faced new challenges. He was transferred to ITER headquarters in France and participated in the design and research and development of the core components of thermonuclear experimental reactors.
The principle of the hydrogen bomb explosion is “debris fusionâ€, but although it has been more than half a century since the successful explosion of the world's first hydrogen bomb, this complex nuclear fusion reaction cannot be controlled by humans. People need to form fusion plasmas and helium into plasmas and heat them to hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius. At the same time, they need to provide plasma with suitable reaction sites for large-scale collisions between the helium and neon nuclei to generate energy.
And Wang Xiaoyu's participation in the design and development of the core components of the ITER headquarters in France is precisely an important part of the plasma reaction site, the vacuum chamber.
When he first arrived in France in 2008, Wang Xiaoyu was still working in a learning attitude. He came earlier than the foreign colleagues around him, walked too late, and carefully accumulated experience until one day, the solution to the problem he submitted silently gave the task team an unexpected surprise, and everyone finally began to recognize the strength of Chinese employees.
At this time, the construction of the implementation center of the China International Nuclear Fusion Energy Program of the Ministry of Science and Technology has also been on the right track. In order to actively explore a scientific, standardized, and efficient management mechanism that meets the requirements of international scientific engineering management, the ITER Center has established and implemented an ISO9001 quality management mechanism.
In 2009, Zhao Wenying, who had been engaged in financial and audit work in the intelligence department of the Ministry of Science and Technology, had been employed by ITER. In the first year, he had managed 12 billion yuan of funds. The old leader joked: “This kid is now managing more money than I am. More!†Afterwards, the management of personnel and assets was also handed over to Zhao Wenzhong, who was in his early 30s. The director of the nuclear fusion center, Rodrung, jokingly called him the “big internal directorâ€.
However, this young “master†of Zhao Wen was on the thin ice, “even taking a bath with a mobile phone.†By 2012, under the strong execution of his colleagues in various departments, the ITER Center finally completed the ISO9001 quality management system certification; soon afterwards; Wang Xiaoyu ended his working career in foreign countries and returned to China with the technology and ideas he learned. Serving China's nuclear fusion project, Wang Min is no longer the blushing little girl who has grown into a confident, professional, and independent project manager. .
During the subsequent implementation of the project, representatives of all parties increasingly felt the influence of the Chinese side. Young Chinese managers represented by Wang Min not only quickly caught up with the rhythm, but also began to put forward some powerful opinions and constructive suggestions. . The suggestions made by Wang Min were repeatedly supported by other parties. During the meeting, delegates came to ask the details of the proposals. Her speaking order was changed from the first meeting to the first to the second, and the previous speeches were usually made. Both are the United States and the European Union.
With the transformation and growth of these young "bragging fathers," China's nuclear fusion project has gradually entered the "run with" track from "sequencing" the world's scientific and technological powers.
Rush to "leader"
Nowadays, time has entered the tenth year of China’s formal participation in the ITER program. Wang Min’s hair is white, and Wang Xiaoyu also jokingly calls himself “oldâ€. These “young young elders†have become the mainstay of China’s nuclear fusion venture.
Through their joint efforts with the nuclear fusion people of the older generation, China conscientiously fulfilled its commitments and obligations, fulfilled all the ITER “purchase packages†manufacturing tasks, and delivered the relevant manufacturing equipment and components in strict accordance with the time schedule and standards. .
Rodlow said: "The 10 years of participation in the ITER project have been a major step forward in China's nuclear fusion technology capabilities and management."
With China’s rapid advancement in the level of science and technology in controlled nuclear fusion, while participating in the ITER program, China is also planning to build its own nuclear fusion reactor CFETR.
Not long ago, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor International Organization, the "ITER Decade - Review and Prospects" conference was held in Beijing. At the meeting, international nuclear fusion experts jointly issued the "Beijing Fusion Declaration - Supporting China's Fusion Energy Development" and supported the construction of China's fusion engineering experimental reactor CFETR.
"I hope I can do this thing in my lifetime." The conceptual design of the core components of CFETR will be borne by Wang Xiaoyu.
Rodron said that the ITER project is basically completed in 2025, and the entire construction will be completed in 2035 and will enter the full-load experimental stage, and it will strive to start commercial production in 2050. The Chinese CFETR is aimed at building a bridge between ITER and future nuclear fusion power plants.
Not long ago, the China International Nuclear Fusion Energy Project Implementation Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology published a "Celebration Collection of the 10th Anniversary of China's Official Participation in the ITER Plan." Each of the old, middle and blue nuclear fusion participants who participated in the program wrote a speech.
Rodron wrote: "On the way that mankind pursues 'artificial sun', China is growing from a 'chaser' and a 'runner' to a 'leader' with a strong international export capacity and will improve China's international influence. , charisma, and shaping power play a role in the fusion of people. Scientists have decades of hardships 'day by day', the first light of nuclear fusion energy is expected to ignite in China." (Zhang Hao)
Multifunction meters may also provide important power quality information including voltage and current unbalance, THD, and individual harmonics. By providing comprehensive energy information, multifunctional power meters are the ideal choice for monitoring in power distribution systems or in industrial plants.
