2. Introduction
 Need of electrical power
 Requirement of nuclear power
 1kg of Ur energy = 3000 tones of coal
Ur= 3millions times of coal
According to committee of government of
India(2001) nuclear power is cheaper by 8
to 10 paisa per Kwh than thermal plant
Suitable areas west up, N & W Rajasthan,
Punjab and Haryana

4. Nuclear fission
process of splitting of a heavy nucleus into two or
more small nuclei.
Two or more neutrons are produced by fission of
each nucleus.
In fission process a loss of mass of 0.2amu per
uranium atom occurs which converts Into 200MeV of
energy.

5. Nuclear fuel and energy
Nuclear fuels
 Natural uranium,
enriched uranium
plutonium
Nuclear energy
Energy released by the fission of nuclei is called
nuclear energy
Uncontrolled chain reaction:-explosive
violence and atom bomb
Controlled chain reaction:-to generate
electricity

8. Merits of Nuclear power plant
 Easy Transportation of Fuel
 Required Small Area than other plants-
2000MW N.plant Required 80 acres. While
steam power plant of same capacity needs about
250acres.
 Economic
 Output control Flexible
 Clean Power Plant compare to Thermal
 can meet the future requarement

9. •Capital cost very high than other power plant
• Danger of Radio active pollution
• Fuel used is expensive
•Maintenance charge very high
•Disposal of product
