Right now, it seems that the foundation is in place for a mega cooling tower. The foundation for the first ultra-large nuclear power plan has been laid and it is going to be placed in China. State Power Investment Corp have made the announcement and they have also said that a lot of work is going to be done to ensure that everyone is happy. The final concrete for the foundation has been poured and the foundation is over 10 metres wide. It is also 2m thick. A lot of concrete was required to lay the foundation to make sure that it is going to be stable enough to support the structure. When it's been completed, the cooling tower is going to have a height of over 218 metres and the diameter is going to be around 175 metres too. When you look at the water spraying area of the tower, you will soon find that it consists of inclined pillars, inlet, tower tube and more. You also have a water distribution system, a heat exchanger and more.
The application of secondary circulation and cooling tech is really popular right now and it is going to provide a lot of environmental benefits. Of course, when you look at nuclear power projects in general, you will soon find that China is going to provide a lot of demonstrations and references when it comes to the overall development of things and this is great to say the least. The nuclear power plants in China are thriving right now and the first phase of this power project is underway. Only time will tell what the future holds but right now it's safe to say that things are looking up and bright times are ahead for the power sector.
