    NUCLEAR POWER

    PLANT
    WHAT IS NUCLEAR
    ENERGY ?
     Energy that holds neutrons
    and protons.
     Two ways of obtaining energy
    are : 1) Nuclear Fission
    2) Nuclear Fussion
    NUCLEAR
    FISSION
    Heavy nuclei split into two
    smaller parts in order to become
    more stable.
    NUCLEAR FUSION
     Light nuclei fuse together to
    form a heavy nucleus.
    HOW DOES A
    NUCLEAR
    POWER
     A nuclear power plant works PLANT
    in a similar way as
    a thermal power plant. The difference between
    WORKS?
    the two is in the fuel use to heat the water in
    the boiler(Steam generator).

     Inside a nuclear power station, energy is


    released by nuclear fission in the core of the
    reactor.

     1kg of Uranium-235 can produce as much


    energy as the burning of 4500 tons of high
    grade variety of
    Coal or 2000 tons of oil.
    NUCLEAR
    REACTOR
     A device in which nuclear chain reactions
    are initiated, controlled, and sustained at a
    steady rate.

    Principle parts :
    1) Core
    2) Moderator
    3) Control Rods
    4) Coolants
    5) Fuels
    6) Radiation Sheets
    INDIA’S NUCLEAR
    ENERGY
