NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
INTRODUCTION




Generally the power can be generated by the using of
GENERATORS. The generator can generate the power by
Electromagnetic induction. By using some amount of energy
the wings of the generator can rotate and produce the
power. Basically we apply many forms of energies to rotate
the turbines.
In that we use this nuclear power energy.
NUCLEAR FUEL
 Nuclear fuel is any material that can be consumed to derive
   nuclear energy. The most common type of nuclear fuel is fissile
   elements that can be made to undergo nuclear fission chain
   reactions in a nuclear reactor

 The most common nuclear fuels are 235U and 239Pu. Not all
   nuclear fuels are used in fission chain reactions
NUCLEAR FISSION
 When a neutron strikes an atom of uranium, the uranium
  splits in to two lighter atoms and releases heat
  simultaneously.

 Fission of heavy elements is an exothermic reaction which
  can release large amounts of energy both as
  electromagnetic radiation and as kinetic energy of the
  fragments
NUCLEAR CHAIN REACTIONS
A chain reaction refers to a process in which
  neutrons released in fission produce an
  additional fission in at least one further
  nucleus. This nucleus in turn produces
  neutrons, and the process repeats. If the process
  is controlled it is used for nuclear power or if
  uncontrolled it is used for nuclear weapons

NUCLEAR FISSION REACTION




  U235 + n → fission + 2 or 3 n + 200 MeV
 If each neutron releases two more neutrons, then the number of fissions doubles
   each generation. In that case, in 10 generations there are 1,024 fissions and in 80
   generations about 6 x 10 23 (a mole) fissions.
BASIC STRUCTURE OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS
NUCLEAR REACTOR




 A nuclear reactor is a device in which nuclear chain reactions are
  initiated, controlled, and sustained at a steady rate, as opposed to a
  nuclear bomb, in which the chain reaction occurs in a fraction of a
  second and is uncontrolled causing an explosion.
CONTROLLER RODS




 Control rods made of a material that absorbs neutrons are inserted into the bundle
   using a mechanism that can rise or lower the control rods.

 . The control rods essentially contain neutron absorbers like, boron, cadmium or
   indium.
STEAM GENERATORS




 Steam generators are heat exchangers used to convert water into steam from
   heat produced in a nuclear reactor core.




 Either ordinary water or heavy water is used as the coolant.
STEAM TURBINE




 A steam turbine is a mechanical device that extracts thermal energy from
   pressurized steam, and converts it into useful mechanical



 Various high-performance alloys and super alloys have been used for steam
   generator tubing.
COOLANT PUMP


The coolant pump pressurizes the coolant to pressures of
  the order of 155bar.
 The pressure of the coolant loop is maintained almost

  constant with the help of the pump and a pressurize unit.
FEED PUMP


Steam coming out of the turbine, flows through the
 condenser for condensation and re-circulated for
 the next cycle of operation.

The feed pump circulates the condensed water in

 the working fluid loop.
CONDENSER


 Condenser is a device or unit which is used to condense vapor into
  liquid.

 The objective of the condenser are to reduce the turbine exhaust
  pressure to increase the efficiency and to recover high quality feed
  water in the form of condensate & feed back it to the steam
  generator without any further treatment.
COOLING TOWERS




 Cooling towers are heat removal devices used to transfer
  process waste heat to the atmosphere.

 Water circulating through the condenser is taken to the
  cooling tower for cooling and reuse
NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS IN INDIA
 Nuclear power generation does emit relatively low amounts of carbon
   dioxide (CO2). The emissions of green house gases and therefore the
   contribution of nuclear power plants to global warming is therefore
   relatively little.

 This technology is readily available, it does not have to be developed first.

 It is possible to generate a high amount of electrical energy in one single
   plant
 The problem of radioactive waste is still an unsolved one.

 High risks: It is technically impossible to build a plant with 100%
  security.

 The energy source for nuclear energy is Uranium. Uranium is a scarce
  resource, its supply is estimated to last only for the next 30 to 60
  years depending on the actual demand.

 Nuclear accidents leads to damage of lot of property & human life
