Taylor wilson, Chinese name taylor wilson, an American, was born on May 7th, 1994 at/kloc-0. It is a high school in Dai Weixun College.
Sheng, the youngest nuclear scientist in the world, completed the production of nuclear fusion reactor at the age of 14, and started at the age of 17.
Workers made a nuclear weapon detector and won the Intel International Science and Engineering Award for it.
Introduction:
Taylor wilson is a high school student in Dai Weixun College. He has become a celebrity in the school. He is the youngest nuclear scientist in the world, and his biggest dream is to become a star. This dream came true when he 14 years old. He completed the production of nuclear fusion reactor at the age of 14, and made the nuclear weapon detector by hand at the age of 17.
Experience:
Taylor seems to be a bit eccentric from birth. At first, he seemed a little dull and interested in architecture. When he is a little older, he would rather
You can play with traffic cones or other roadblocks and are not interested in toys.
When Taylor was five years old, she asked her parents for a crane as a birthday present. When his parents took him to the toy store, Taylor thought his parents' behavior was a kind of contempt and said angrily, "I want a real one." In order to satisfy this wish, Kenneth invited a construction worker friend to his son's birthday party on condition that a crane weighing 6 tons was driven to the party site. Nine-year-old Taylor took his father Kenneth by the hand and walked through the gate of the American Space Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. "I want to see the propeller inside. Only this can interest me. "
10 years old, Taylor posted the periodic table in his room. It only took him a week to remember all the atomic numbers, polymerization degrees and melting points. At a Thanksgiving family gathering, Taylor wore a white coat and claimed to take blood samples from people there immediately so that she could conduct a "comparative genetic experiment" in her grandmother's garage.
The following summer, Taylor invited his family to the backyard to watch the experiment. He poured a bottle containing a mixture of sugar and potassium nitrate to the ground and lit the wire. As a result, we didn't see the expected fireworks, but we heard the thunderous explosion. Panicked neighbors ran out of the house, only to see a small mushroom cloud rising in Kenneth's yard.
1 1 years old, Taylor got a book called "radiation boy Scott". This book tells the story of a boy living in Michigan who tried to build a nuclear reactor in his backyard in the 1990s, which led to environmental pollution. For Kenneth and his wife, this is a warning story. But Taylor said, "I'm sure I can do better."
When Taylor 12 years old, his younger brother was three years younger than him, but they began to show extraordinary talent in mathematics, and ordinary schools could no longer educate them. Taylor often finds life boring. In order to cheer up our son, Kenneth and his wife agreed to let him study radioactive elements. This situation got out of hand, and Taylor became interested in alarm clocks containing radium, gauze lanterns containing thorium and holiday glass plates containing uranium. He began to turn his garage into his own laboratory, and nuclear fuel pellets and large pieces of uranium began to appear in the garage. When parents ask about safety, Taylor's scientific terminology always leaves Kenneth and his wife speechless.
When Dentelle/Kloc-was 0/3 years old, Kenneth and his wife decided to send their two sons to Dai Weixun College in Nevada, a school for gifted teenagers. There, Taylor met Winterberg, a quantum theorist who won the Nobel Prize. /kloc-Taylor, 0/3 years old, boasted to his teacher, Nobel Prize winner quantum theorist Winterbey: "I want to build a nuclear reactor!" The professor, who is famous for his bad temper, shouted at him, "Do you know what you are talking about? You are just a child of 13 years old! " But Taylor will take action to get Mr. Winterbey to retract his sentence. Taylor spends all his time studying nuclear reactors in libraries and laboratories. He said to the teachers and classmates who questioned him, "I believe I can succeed if I persist." In less than a year, Taylor has mastered the knowledge of more than 20 fields such as plasma physics, chemistry, radiation calculation and electrical engineering.
Shortly after his 14 birthday, Taylor built the core of a miniature nuclear reactor in the laboratory of Dai Weixun College, becoming the 32nd person and the youngest in the world to complete deuterium ion fusion.
Taylor is not satisfied with such an achievement. One day, he read a report that thousands of containers entering and leaving the harbor every day are the weak link of national security, and he began to think: why not use neutrons generated by nuclear fusion to scan the goods in the containers and detect whether there are nuclear weapons in them?
/kloc-at the age of 0/6, he is already a star of the gifted college. In the past three years, Taylor has been the big winner of the Intel International Science and Engineering Grand Prix. He has won nine awards and more than $65,438+million. After hearing about Taylor's design, the US Department of Homeland Security invited him to Washington to attend a meeting held by the Office of Domestic Nuclear Tests of the Department of Homeland Security. The meeting put forward a proposal to provide Taylor with a large amount of money to develop weapons detectors.
/kloc-Taylor, 0/7 years old, walked into the laboratory and made a nuclear weapon detector by himself, which won the British International Science and Engineering Award. When the US Department of Homeland Security learned of Taylor's invention, it immediately invited him to visit the Domestic Nuclear Test Office of the Department of Homeland Security in Washington, and expressed its willingness to fund the development of nuclear weapons detectors for him.
This naturally restless guy didn't flinch in the face of the amazing achievements of the world. In his own words, "I just want to do something that interests me." In the next three years, Taylor indulged in the laboratory, and at the same time, of course, he began to write love letters to Susanna, a girl who had a crush on her since she was 12 years old. /kloc-at the age of 0/7, Taylor personally made a nuclear weapon detector and won the British International Science and Engineering Award. At the same time, Susanna, who always thought she was a freak, said, "Well, I admit I like you, too."
Taylor said that life should be like this, do what you like and have the girl you like. This is already beautiful.
According to taylor wilson, an American boy of 18 years old, a small nuclear reactor is designed, which is expected to convert the waste generated by old atomic weapons into civil energy and supply it to thousands of households, enterprises and even cosmic residents.
Wilson presented this achievement at the ted conference held in California on February 28th. The power of the small nuclear reactor he designed is 50 MW to 100 MW, which is enough for 65438+ millions of households.
Agence France-Presse quoted Wilson as saying that this kind of reactor can be produced on an assembly line and powered by radioactive materials melted in nuclear weapons. Small modular reactors that can be transported can be used for 30 years after being sealed with enough fuel. He said, "You can put it anywhere in the world and it will start to work. However, for safety reasons, it is better to bury it underground. "
He said: "During the Cold War, we established a nuclear arsenal, which is no longer needed. It would be great if we could use them up. This kind of nuclear reactor likes them. This is to bring the old thing-fission to the 2 1 century, and I think it is very likely to change the world. "
The small nuclear reactor designed by Wilson uses gas instead of steam to drive the turbine to rotate, which means that the temperature of the reactor system is lower than that of the traditional nuclear reactor, and once there is a gap, nothing will be ejected. In addition, the fuel of the reactor is molten salt and does not need to be pressurized.
Wilson said: "If there is an accident, you can use a neutron absorber to suck the nucleus into the container below the reactor and stop the reaction."
He said that nuclear fission products will not leave the reactor. "For energy companies, it is a pity that the reactor may dry up, but there is no problem."
Wilson has been famous since he designed a nuclear fission reactor for his garage four years ago.
After graduating from high school in May last year, he did not choose to receive higher education step by step, but concentrated on starting a business and producing modular fission reactors.
Wilson said that there are many competitors in this field, and as for the obstacles, it is more because of political factors than technical factors.
He plans to make a prototype within two years and put the product on the market within five years. "This is not only to deal with climate change, but also to bring energy to developing countries."
"Imagine that those who want to explore other planets design rockets with small reactors," Wilson said. "You not only have the driving force, but also the energy you need to reach your destination."

The 18-year-old boy who designed a small nuclear reactor was praised by President Obama.
Wilson is currently studying nuclear energy in the basement of the University of Nevada. He even helped graduate students take a course in nuclear energy physics, and President Obama praised his achievements.
Wilson's father Ken said that Wilson had been exposed to nuclear physics since he was a child and had participated in scientific exhibitions and delivered speeches. "I could hardly understand what he was saying at the time."
Wilson dreamed of "making" a star when he was 10 years old. Talking about his present achievements, he said, "I think nothing is impossible." (According to Xinhua News Agency and CCTV)
