2 Issues to study??? Green energy? Why nuc in BD? Only energy? What are the risky areas? Hiroshima-Nagasaki? Russia’s Ch.? JP’s Fukushima? Man-made disaster vs. Natural disaster? In BD – do we have experts? Nuc. Vs. Terrorism?

3 Nuclear Engineering Nuclear Engineering is an endeavor that – makes use of radiation and radioactive material for the benefit of mankind. Like their counterparts in chemical engineering, nuclear engineers endeavor – to improve the quality of life by manipulating basic building blocks of matter.

4 Chem. vs. Nuc. Unlike chemical engineers, nuclear engineers works with reactions that produce millions of times more energy per reaction than any other known material.

5 Nuclear Energy It is free from the problems of fossil fuels: greenhouse gas emissions. A typical 1000 MW coal-burning plant emits yearly: 1,00,000 tons of SO 2 75,000 tons of NO x 5,000 tons of fly ash USA generates 20% of the electricity; it avoided in 1999 the emission of 150 million tonnes of CO 2  On the contrary, there is still the association of nuclear power with the tremendous destructive force.

6 Use of Nuc Energy Energy generation (electricity, heating) Propulsion of naval vessels Nuclear-powered spacecraft Production of radioisotopes Bomb! Medicine Agriculture

16 Power Plant: Heat  Steam  Generator  Electricity Power plants use heat supplied by a fuel to boil water and make steam, which drives a generator to make electricity. A generating plant's fuel: – coal, gas, oil, uranium, solar thermal Fuel heats water & turns it into steam. The pressure of the steam spins the blades of a giant rotating metal fan called a turbine. That turbine turns the shaft of a huge generator. Inside the generator, coils of wire and magnetic fields interact - and electricity is produced.
