I think that since open space is rarefied hydrogen, the processes take place in gas. And the processes in gases are very similar to those in liquids. If you spin a liquid, you get a vortex. It seems that a disk of dust spinning in space has the right to build up into a ball.

Yeah, whoever didn't live in a dorm wasn't fully a student)))) Those were the days!!!)

Yes:

If it feeds itself?

There is a point:

We must assume the protection is powered by batteries, but what if they are on automatic recharge from the electricity of the nuclear plant itself?

The question is this: If all maintenance personnel are removed from the nuclear power plant, how long will it run? Would there be an automatic shutdown?


The Russian plant will happen when the Fukushima accident happened, read the Rosatom forum. We have retarder rods held above the reactor, in case of lack of power the rods fall down by themselves.

There, it's not that bad.

Opinion of an energy expert:

- In almost all cases, "special" category consumers are powered by diesel generators. Batteries are for the transition process for the time of DG start-up, i.e. for 15-30 seconds (acceleration of the generator, reaching the necessary speeds and frequency-phase synchronisation with the mains);

- any station can operate without specialists at all for a long time, as long as one of the significant parameters is not out of the norm.

Actually, the question was not whether it would work, but rather whether it would stop on its own if there were no staff present, i.e. if there were no signs of life. No one seems to have thought about it, if even the power engineering specialists get confused by this question.

What is the problem? Let it work. And any NPP can be shut down outside the plant - it is enough to turn off the load at the regional substations for a long time. A thermal power plant can be stopped by turning off the gas.
 
Integer: and vice versa - will it stop on its own in case of absence of personnel, i.e. when there are no signs of life

There are vibration sensors on turbines and generator towers according to SNIP; there is an emergency threshold, which triggers an emergency stop without personnel involvement; there is a warning threshold, which, if the operator does not reset the accident, will cause the sensor to fail after some time; if several sensors fail at once, it triggers an emergency stop

the vibration control equipment is the most "screwy" element of the control system, there is not a month that a warning signal from the sensors does not come out

Sensors are the weakest element, most failures are caused by them, they are duplicated and tested for % of readings deviation from the reserve ones

What's the problem...?
Here' s a clip of the apocalyptic thriller plot above, just got curious.
