Nuclear Fission U235+0n1 Ba 141+Kr92+2.50n1+200 MeV energy. The nucleus of U235 is bombarded with high energy neutrons U235+0n1 Ba 141+Kr92+2.50n1+200 MeV energy. The neutrons produced are very fast and can be made to fission other nuclei of U235, thus setting up a chain reaction. Out of 2.5 neutrons released one neutron is used to sustain the chain reaction. 1 eV = 1.6X10-19 joule. 1 MeV = 106 eV

Nuclear Power Plant Nuclear power plant uses nuclear energy from radio active element for generating electrical energy. More than 15% of the world’s electricity is generated from Nuclear power plants. It is generally located far away from populated areas. In future generation of electricity will be depending on Nuclear Power Plant, as it is economical. 1 kg of uranium U-235 can produce electrical power electrical that can be produced by using 3000 - 4500 tonnes of high grade coal or 2000 tonnes of oil.

NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - LAYOUT

Components of Nuclear Power Plant Nuclear Fuel : Normally used nuclear fuel is uranium (U235) Fuel Rods: The fuel rods hold nuclear fuel in a nuclear power plant. Neutron Source: A source of neutron is required to initiate the fission for the first time. A mixture of beryllium with plutonium is commonly used as a source of neutron. Reactor: Nuclear fission takes place in the reactor only. Nuclear fission produces large quantity of heat. The heat generated in the reactor is carried by coolant circulated through the reactor.

Components of Nuclear Power Plant Control Rods: They are used to control the chain reaction. They are absorbers of neutrons. The commonly used control rods are made up of cadmium or boron. Moderator: Moderators are used to slow down the fast neutrons. It reduces 2 MeV to an average velocity of 0.025 eV. Ordinary or heavy water are used as moderators.

Advantages of Nuclear Power Plant Requires less space compared to steam power plant. Fuel required is negligible compared to coal requirement. Fuel transport cost is less Water required is very less.

Disadvantages of Nuclear Power Plant Initial Cost is higher. Not suitable for varying load condition. Radioactive wastes are hazardous. Hence these are to be handled with much care. Maintenance cost is higher. Trained workers are required to operate the plant.
