Couple exams, Pacs and some football

This week started with a really tough day. First school from 8 to 12 and an exam at 16. So I just used the break to eat and revise for the exam. Exam was in Heat Transfer, it went quite well and then was time to go to play some football. We played agains Brazilians and the game was expected to be tough. It was, we were first losing it 0-2 but somehow we managed to come back. I scored our second goal and the winner from throw-in. Brazilians went mad, they were shouting to us, kicking us and shouting to the referee. Really childish. For example I was running in the midfield and one of them just kicked my feet and I almost fell-down. After the game they complained about the throw-ins, the pitch and the referee. We throw them sometimes by hand and sometimes kick by foot. Nowhere is a rule about it and the referees accept then so why not. Our captain made a good answer for the organisers and we'll see what happens. They will also meet on Friday. I am not saying the referee was the best and the intensity of the game was quite high so it wasn't an easy game to whistle. Well, both teams are trying to win this tournament, but I thing either of the teams really benefit from the referee. Nevertheless the tournament is for fun and I really don't understand how seriously they took it and how unfair they played in the end. Still there was also some nice guys who were trying to calm others and shake our hand congratulating us from the win. We are now in the lead, 12 points after 4 games and I have scored now 11 goals in 3 matches.

The field in Csörsz utca we have played all our games.

Then Tuesday was Pacs nuclear power plant visit. It was cool, they have two reactors in the same hall, so they were able to use partially the same equipment at both of the facilities. Totally they have installed 4x500 MWe. And all the plants are similar, they are actually pretty same than in Loviisa, Finland. Special for these plants is also that if the pressure or temperature in the hall increases, there is behind a wall(which will break when the pressure is too high(if I remember correctly)) cold water reserves as a some kind of a condenser. At Pacs there is a nuclear plant maintenance training centre, where is parts from planned, but never built nuclear power plants from East Germany. There is at least the reactor hall and the steam generator.

The training centre: first from the left is upper support plate, second from left is the bottom core of the reactor and on the right the upper or middle part of the core.

Reactor, where you can see inlet nozzles(big ones second from the top), in the upper part also outlet nozzles and the small ones emergency core cooling system nozzles.

A regular but quite huge valve

Me and low-pressure turbine!!


Today was the second exam, Air Conditioning. It went also quite well and after that I went to swim with one of my team mates. It was really good training there. Funny and disappointing is that when we went there, the guy at the desk who sold us the tickets didn't tell there was a water ball training going so we needed to wait it to end. Well luckily the training ended in 15 minutes so we didn't need to wait for a long but still quite weird...Also the price was higher than usually, but it is only for this week, because I think there is a holiday for those who are in elementary school in Hungary.
