Nuclear Energy: (Power Full

This document provides an overview of nuclear energy and nuclear power plants. It discusses how nuclear fission works by splitting heavy nuclides like Uranium-235 when hit by neutrons. This releases a large amount of energy. Nuclear power plants use this fission process to generate electricity. They are shown to have pressurized water reactors or boiling water reactors with fuel rods, coolant loops, and turbines to produce power. The document lists the benefits of nuclear plants like producing large amounts of low-cost electricity and their use in medical applications. Examples of nuclear plants in India like Karapar, Tarapur, and Kaiga are provided with satellite images.

NUCLEAR ENERGY

INTRODUCTION

 Nuclear energy
Energy obtained from nuclear fission process

 What do we mean by energy


Energy it can be explained as capacity to do work.

• Nuclear fission
Let us understand the word fission, fission means splitting of two parts, know lets know
about nuclear fission process
NUCLEAR PLANT
 As above diagram shows  PRESSURED WATER
nuclear power plant, REACTOR
when neutron hits a heavy
nuclide like U-235, the
neutron get absorbed in
the heavy nuclide that
gets engertically agitated.
 The nuclear energy
released in fission is
about a million times of
chemical energy released
in during a block of coal of
equal mass.
 About 80% of the energy
released from fission is
carried away by the •PRESSURED WATER
fission product. REACTOR
Above fie shows pressured
water reactor in which the
water is pressured , it contain
three loops, as shown above
BOILING WATER REACTOR
 Fuel used in nuclear
energy are

 
 Uranium -o.7% of isotope,
natural occurring material

•BOILING WATER
 Plutonium U-233 by product
or man made
REACTOR
 
Above fig shows boiling water
reactor, here the water is boiled
they are not pressured, it too
contain three loops as shown
above
PRINCIPAL OF NUCLEAR
REACTOR
 
 Above fig shows
principal of nuclear
reactor, when the
high velocity
neutron strikes the
nucleus , the atom
sheds move
neutrons & break up
into several other
particles , the
motion of all this
particles & atoms
flying around &
colliding creates the
heat , that is used in
 Benefits of  Why we need
nuclear power nuclear plant or
plant power
 
 Producing electricity
 Diagnose &
treatment including
cancer
 They also used to
1. Energy produce per amount is of
test new drugs for material consumed is highest
safety 2. Cost & competitive
3. Source uranium is abundant
 To kill bacteria in 4. Less wastage
