INTRODUCTI 2
ON
• A generating plant in which nuclear energy is converted into
electrical energy is known as a nuclear power plant.
• Nuclear power plants use the
heat generated from nuclear
fission in a contained
environment to convert
water to steam, which
powers generators to
produce electricity.

.
• Nuclear power plants uses uranaium and plutonium as fuel.
• Today there are about 439 nuclear plants in 31 countries
constituting 10% of worlds energy demand.
• 1kg of uranium can produce as much energy as burning of 4500
tonnes of high variety grade of coal or 2000 tonnes of oil.

• Structure of NPP contains 3 basic components
1. Containment building
2. Turbine building
3. Cooling tower

BUILDING
• It is an air tight structure
made up of reinforced
concrete structure.
• It houses nuclear reactor,
steam generators, pressurizer,
reactor coolant pumps and
other piping.

• It is designed, in any emergency, to contain the escape
of radioactive steam or gas to a maximum pressure in the range of
275 to 550 kPa.
• It is strong enough to withstand the impact of a fully loaded
passenger airliner without rupture.
• The containment building consist of spherical or can like shape,
however modern design tends towards combination of both.
• Mostly spherical shape is preferred as it does not contain any
joints and most suitable to withstand internal pressure.

• There are two types of cooling
tower
1. Natural draft cooling tower:
air circulated in cooling
tower by natural convection
2. Mechanical draft cooling
tower: air is circulated by
mechanical means such as
propeller or centrifugal fans.

• The energy produced per amount of material consumed is the
highest available, costs are competitive with coal, the major
source used in the world. 1kg of uranium can produce as much
energy as burning of 4500 tonnes of high variety grade of coal or
2000 tonnes of oil.

• The uranium used in the process of fission is a naturally unstable
element. extra safety measures are meant to prevent uranium
from emitting harmful levels of radiation.
• after the shutdown, the plants remain on location as abandoned
reactors. Not only do they take up valuable land space, but they
also could contaminate the surrounding areas.
