this is a ppt on the future on nuclear energy-pros and cons.

1. Future of Nuclear energy in India

Class X

2. Electricity consumption in India:
• Electricity Generation in India (963.8 GWh)
– Thermal 65.5% (but reserves are limited)
– Hydro 18.75%
– Nuclear (NPP) 03.75%
– Renewable 12.00%
• Electricity demand in India is increasing rapidly
• Electricity generation in 2012 was 960 GWh gross
(more than triple the 1990 output)
• The per capita electricity consumption of appr. 750 kWh is expected
to double by 2020 and will reach 5000-6000 kWh by 2050
• India will require about 8000 TWh/yr then.

3. Current status of Nuclear Energy in India
• Nuclear energy in India : Present & Prospects
4,780 MWe Present
10,080 Mwe (2017, Reactors under construction)
14,600 Mwe 2020-21
27,500 Mwe 2032
• The Atomic Energy Commission however envisages
500 GWe nuclear capacity on line by 2060,
600-700 GWe by 2050 (according to few speculation)
• Nuclear Energy is expected to providing half of all electricity post
2050

4. Nuclear Power Plants (NPP): Current status
20 operating NPP generates 4788 MW
7 Under construction NPP to generate
5300 MW more by 2017

5. Proposed Nuclear Power Plants
Proposed NPP to generate 36,100 MW electricity

6. Energy Resources: Advantages & Disadvantages

7. Nuclear Power: Bringing new technology
• Russia's Atomstroyexport to build further VVER reactors at Kaiga
• Atomenergomash (AEM,Russia) is setting up an office in India
• Areva (France) to build six EPR units at Jaitapur
• GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy (USA) signed agreements with NPCIL &
BHEL to build Advanced Boiling Water Reactors (ABWR)
• Westinghouse (USA) signed a memorandum of understanding with
NPCIL regarding deployment of its AP 1000 reactors with L&T
• Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd (AECL) is keen to resume technical
cooperation
• In August 2009 NPCIL signed agreements with Korea Electric Power
Co (KEPCO) to study the prospects for building Korean APR-1400
reactors in India

8. Nuclear Power: Steady indigenisation….
• India's nuclear energy self-sufficiency extended from
– Uranium exploration and mining through fuel fabrication
– Heavy water production
– Reactor design and construction
– Reprocessing and waste management.
• It has a small fast breeder reactor and is building a much larger one.
• It is also developing technology to utilise its abundant resources of
thorium as a nuclear fuel. (India has 25% of world’s Thorium dep.)
• Emerging group of Local players like, L&T, BHEL, NalCo, SAIL,
Reliance Power Ltd, GVK Power & Infrastructure Ltd and GMR Energy
Ltd are entering in the field of Nuclear Power, thus boosting the
indigenisation Plans

9. Heavy engineering in India
• L&T to venture into international markets for supply of heavy engineering components for
nuclear reactors
• It is qualified by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers to fabricate nuclear-grade
pressure vessels and core support structures, achieving this internationally recognised
quality standard in 2007
• NPCIL to build a new plant for domestic and export nuclear forgings at its Hazira, Surat
coastal site in Gujarat state.
• Reliance Power (RPower), NPCIL, and BHEL said that they plan to invest over US$ 50 billion
in the next five years to expand their manufacturing base in the nuclear energy sector
• BHEL planned to spend $7.5 billion in two years building plants to supply components for
reactors of 1,600 Mwe
• HCC (Hindustan Construction Co.) has built more than half of India's nuclear power capacity,
notably all 6 units of the Rajasthan Atomic Power Project and also Kudankulam.
• Areva signed an agreement with Bharat Forge in January 2009 to set up a joint venture in
casting and forging nuclear components for both export and the domestic market
• In August 2010 GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) signed a preliminary agreement with India’s
Tata Consulting Engineers, Ltd. to explore potential project design and workforce
development opportunities in support of GEH’s future nuclear projects in India

10. Uranium resources in India
• India's uranium resources are modest,
– 102,600 tonnes as reasonably assured resources (RAR)
– 37,200 tonnes as inferred resources in situ
• In 2013 it was importing about 40% of uranium requirements.
• India to import from Uranium fuel/ore Russia, France, Kazakhstan,
Brazil and South Africa, Mangolia, Canada & Australia
