INTRODUCTION

 ‘ACADEMIC LOMONOSOV’ IS THE NAME OF WORLD’S FIRST

FLOATING NUCLEAR POWER PLANT(FNPP).

 THE PROJECT WAS LAUNCHED IN APRIL 2007 AT SEVMASH

SHIPYARD AND AFTER ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF, HANDING
IT OVER TO ‘BALTIC PLANT’ SHIPYARD IN St. PETERBURG.

 FIRST FNPP IS EXPECTED TO BE READY BY 2010.

 ABOUT FLOATING NUCLEAR
POWER PLANT
 TO BE EQUIPPED WITH TWO POWER UNITS USING KLT-40C
REACTORS.

 THE FIRST PLANT WOULD COST AROUND $ 42 MILLION IN

RUPEES 180 CORER AND 60 LAKS(RS.1806000000)

 COST OF ELECTRICITY: JUST 5 OR 6 CENTS PER KILOWATT

 EVERY 12 YEAR THE PLANT WILL BE TAKEN TO RUSSIA FOR

OVERHAUL.

 WILL HAVE A LIFESPAN OF 40 YEARS

 SPECIFICATIONS OF FNPP
 LENGTH(M): 144.4
 WIDTH(M): 30
 BOARD HEIGHT(M): 10
 DRAUGHT(M): 5.6
 DISPLCEMENT(TONS): 21,500
 REACTOR UNIT: KLT-40C
 NO. OF REACTOR UNITS: 2
 ELECTRICAL POWER(MW) : 2*35
 HEAT POWER (kcal/hr): 2*73
 REQUIRED PERSONNEL (PER SHIFT): 69
 TECHNICLA SPECIFICATION OF
REACTOR
 TYPE OF REACTOR IS KLT-40C.

 PRESSURISED LIGHT WATER REACTOR

 STEAM GENERATION 240 TONS/HOUR

 STEAM PRESSURE 3.8 M Pa

 STEAM TEMPERATURE 290’ C

 FUEL LOAD(U-235) = 996KG (608 DAYS)

 PROTECTION OF RECTOR
 A reactor control and protection system

 An emergency core cooling system

 A emergency protection system for the reactor core in the event of over-
pressurizations

 Emergency valves depressurizing the first cooling circuit into the surrounding water
basin

 A heat condenser system

 A system for putting a liquid absorber (CdNO3) into the primary coolant, which will
transport it into the reactor core

 Pressure-regulating devices (PRDs) cutting off the power supply to the SG and APM
drive mecha-nisms at core pressure levels exceeding 200 kg/cm2.
 KEY FACTOR OF REACTOR

 IN 2000 WHEN A POWERFUL EXPLOSION DISABLED

THE SUBMARIEN’S ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND ITS
HULL FILLED WITH WATER, THE NUCLEAR REACTOR
KLT-40S WAS TURNED OFF AUTOMATICALLY BY A
SIGNAL FROM THE SECURITY SYATEM . WHEN THE
SUBMARINE WAS LATER RAISED, IT STILL CONTAINED
A SAFE AND SOUND REACTOR, READY TO OPPERATE.
 NECESSECITY

 TO RESOLVE THE ENERGY CRISIS IN COUNTRY’S FAR EAST

AND EXTREME NORTH(RUSSIA)

 ALSO HELP IN
-AREA STRUCK BY NATURAL DISASTER
- PROVIDE ELECTRICITY AND HEAT TO REGIONS WITH
- UNDERDEVELOPED INFRASTRUCTURE
OR THE SITE OF BIG CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
 CAPACITY

 FNPP GENERATE 70 MW WHICH IS SUFFICIENT TO SUPPLY

200 000 PEOPLE.

 WILL ALSO ABEL TO SUPPLY DESALINATE SEAWATER.

 ON DESALINATION MODE IT PRODUCE 240,000 CIBIC

METERS OF FRESH WATER A DAY.

 ALSO, SAVE UP TO 200,000 METRIC TONS OF COAL

 ALSO, SAVE 100,000 TONS OF FUEL OIL

PORTABILYTY
 THE FNPP WILL BE A BARGE ABLE TO MOVE WITH THE
HELP OF A TUGBOAT.

 AND TRANSPOTATION DONE WITHOUT NUCLEAR

FUEL.

 THE BARGE HOSTING THE POWER UNIT WILL DROP

ANCHOR OFF THE COAST NEAR A PRODUCTION
FACILITY.
 SAFETY CONCERN
 DESIGNED TO BE PROTECTED FROM THE FOLLOWING
POTENTIAL TERRORIST THREATS USING FINGERPRINT
AND IRIS IDENTIFICATION TECHNOLOGIES.

 UANAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO FISSILE MATERIALS

ONBOARD THE PLANT

 AGAINST POSSIBLE SUBVERSIVE ATTEMPTS BY

TERRORISTS DIVERS

 NOTHING WOULD DESTROY THE REACTOR EVEN IF AN

AIRLINER AS BIG AS A BOEING CRASHES ON THE
PLANT.
 PROLIFERATION CONCERNS
 MINISTRY OF ATOMS(RUSSIA) INTENTION TO EXPORT
FLOATING NUCLEAR PLANTS.

 AMONG POSSIBLE BUYERS COUNTRIES ARE CHINA,

INDONESIA AND PHILIPPINES

 RUSSIA CAN NOT EXPORT FNPP TO COUNTRY WHICH

ARE NOT IN NON PROLIFERATION TREATY(NTP)

 THE WXACT LEVEL OF ENRICHMENT OF URANIUM

FUEL FOR THE FLOATING RECTOR IS UNCLEAR
 FUTURE PROBLEM AND
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
 PHYSICAL SECURITY FORM
- MISSILE
- TOPEDO
- EARTHQUAKE
- TSUNAMI
- TEMPERATURE CHANGES
- HARSH WEATHER CONDITIONS
 HUMAN ERROR
- THE OVERTURNING OF ENTIRE FNPP LEADING TO
DAMAGE TO RECTOR CORE EQUIPMENT AND MAKING IT
IMPOSSIBLE TO INSERT THE ABSORBER RODS
- THE SINKING OF THE FNPP ITSELF
FUTURE

 AROUND THE WORLD MORE THAN 15

COUNTRY INTERESTED TO BUY THIS TYPE OF
FNPP.

 AFTER FIRST ONE WILL COMPELET NEXT

FNPP
COST AROUND 60% MEANS 5 TO 6 MILLION
