1.0 220 MW Madras Atomic Power Station Unit No.1 (MAPS 1) suffered a forced outage on 8 January 2018 at 17:23 UTC and service was restored on 22 January 2018 at 15:16 hrs UTC. The unit again suffered a forced outage on 30 January 2018 at 11hrs UTC. It is shutdown since. What are the technical issues facing the unit? By default, the unit is shut down as required also by the Precautionary Principle so that people can make their own research.
2.0 Study of the Role of World Dam Dynamics regarding the technical issues faced by Unit No. 1.
2.1 On 23 January 2018, at 09:31:40 UTC, a 7.9 MM moment magnitude major shallow earthquake struck Alaska due to World Dam Dynamics: See Figure 1:
2.2 Glaring Lacuna in design of reactors
2.2.1 See excel link MAPS 1 outage at the top left hand corner: The shock at its peak lasted at least 20 seconds.
The sudden peak acceleration vertically downwards on MAPS 1 of 440693 g’s due
to the force applied by the sudden change of 44 BCM in the dam contents taken
together worldwide acting through their centre of gravity at latitude 24,
longitude 97 may have lasted sufficiently on MAPS Unit No 1 to cause damage to
the reactor, associated tubes and equipment. Note that 44 BCM sudden dam content change is a suddenly applied shock water column pressure of 5 million times the height of Mt Everest which is 8848.86m amsl! For an estimate of the average world dam dynamics that acted on unit 1
between 22 January 2018 when the unit came back into service from forced outage
to 30 January 2018 when it again suffered a forced outage, see Table 1 below:
2.2.2 There were a
record number of aftershocks and strong earthquakes with magnitudes ranging
from 6.3 MM to 6.6 MM during this period, all of which may have contributed to
the technical issues faced by the unit. The average temperature suffered by the
unit every 3.25 minutes for the total period of 203 hours from 22nd
January to 30th January was a shocking 1.4 million degrees Kelvin!
The average acceleration suffered by the unit during this period was 132 g’s!
The design prima facie did not envisage these momentary flash forces persisting in this way. One must
examine Unit 2 also for effects. Note in this connection that for a 9 MM
magnitude earthquake Fukushima Daichi suffered a triple core melt and
staggering explosions. The reactors in India at least are not designed for Forces
and Water Moments applied by the entire World’s dam forces which act in concert
from instant to instant. The maximum vertical acceleration for which MAPS 1 is
designed according to published reports is three orders of magnitude fold less than the 132 g’s estimated in Table 1.
As for the Zr-2.5Nb zirconium alloy nuclear grade, the meltimg point is 1840
degrees Centigrade and the boiling point is 4380 degrees Centigrade. Compare
this with the average shock input temperature given by worldwide dam content
data of 1.4 million degrees Centigrade! Applying the precautionary principle
all reactors must be shut down and the glaring lacuna in reactor design thoroughly
re-examined. The data estimates for the 8 January 2018 forced shutdown of this
unit as well as for the massive leak at MAPS 1 on 9 May 2017 are similar. They
are common to the antecedents of such phenomenon observed in other PHWRs in
India as well. Note that therefore prima facie the en masse retubing of such reactors is futile because of the
glaring lacuna in design.
2.2.3 Forced outage of 1000 MW Kudankulam Unit No 1 on
20 August 2023 at 00:49 UTC due to World Dam Dynamics. It was revived on 30 August 2023 at 654h utc. The unit 1 suffered forced outage on 31 August 2023 at 21:57 h UTC to attend to HPC control valve malfunction. Expected revival on 5 September 2023. Now, the Southern Regional Load Dispatch Centre daily outage report for 5 September 2023 has postponed the revival date to 6 September 2023. Unit No. 1 was revived at 21:53 UTC on 6 September 2023.
2.2.3.1 Applying the Precautionary Principle, analysis of
the forced outage of the unit No.1 leads to World Dam Dynamics as the root
cause. This is because of the common antecedent to both the MAPS 1 outage and
this is World Dam Dynamics. The Southern Regional Load Despatch Centre(SRLDC)
outage report for August 2023 ascribed
the immediate cause to Steam Generator control valve malfunction in its report
of 20th August 2023 and then on 22 August 2023 to malfunction of
feed water controller and that the expected revival date as 28 August 2023. See
the similarity and the enormous criticality of this occurrence at Reference 2.
2.2.4 The effect of World Dam Dynamics on Kudankulam Unit
No. 1.
Similar analysis as was done for MAPS 1 shows the
following effects:
2.2.4.1 About one and a half hours prior to the forced
outage a worldwide dam content change of 0.014327 BCM acting through the centre
of gravity of the world’s dams caused a suddenly applied water pressure head of
1619.19 fold the Mt. Everest elevation of 8848 m.
2.2.4.2 Analysing the dam content changes worldwide using
the world’s dam caused earthquakes as proxy from 1 August 2023 to 22 August
2023 shows the unit was prima facie subjected to a mean suddenly applied shock
temperature input of 9915 degrees Kelvin with a maximum of 10 to 11 million
degrees Kelvin on 16 August 2023 when a dam content change of 0.37 BCM caused a
suddenly applied water pressure head of 41900 fold the Mt Everest elevation of
8848m. Simultaneously almost a vertical acceleration push of 816 g’s was
applied by world Dam Dynamics on the Unit.No.1 PWR reactor system at Kudankulam.
The effect on the Steam generator flow and level and on the feedwater
controller would be enormous instantaneously applied forces beyond the design
basis (Reference 2).
2.2.5 What the designers in modern civilization’s society of specialists look for is the earthquake maximum that would ever appear at the site! Look at the earthquake pattern at the Indian craton in Figure 1 above and see a blank picture below the Himalayas. This is not what one should be looking for in the dam era! It is the continual shock input temperatures and the shock vertical ground movements every 3 to 4 minutes in the area caused by dam caused earthquakes throughout the world and their total effect on the area’s ecology from instant to instant!
The concern is paramount for the Combined Forces Chief of Staff and the Government. The world's dams are threatening the security of the country. Not a moment too soon must they place this situation before the public for immediate consideration coupled with plans of action to succeed.
3. The effects of
World Dam Dynamics have proliferated cancerously across the whole of modern modern civilization and we must listen to
nature as it reacts to relegate humans to fossil records(1).
