INTRODUCTION
ENERGY IS PERHAPS THE MOST DEMANDED COMMODITY
SORT FOR IN THE WORLD.
FOSSIL FUEL ARE LIKE LIFE BLOOD OF MORDERN
CIVILISATION GIVING IT ENERGY TO SUSTAIN LIFE BUT
UNFORTUNATELY THIS JOURNEY IS APPROACHING THE
END OF THE LINE.
MORE AND MORE ARE WE GOBBLING FUEL FASTER THAN

Origins
Nuclear energy was first
discovered 1n 1934 by Enrico
Femi.
After World War II, development of
civilian nuclear program
Atomic Energy Act of 1946
1954: first commercial nuclear
power program
Early Beginnings
Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) established by Congress in 1946
as part of the Atomic Energy Act
AEC authorized the construction of Experimental Breeder Reactor I
( EBR-1) at a site in Idaho in 1949
in August of 1951, criticality (a controlled, self-sustained, chain
reaction) was reached using uranium
A football sized core was created and kept at low power for four
months until December 20, 1951
Nuclear Power Today
Provides almost 20% of world’s electricity
(8% in U.S.)
69% of U.S. non-carbon electricity
generation
More than 100 plants in U.S.
None built since the 1970s
200+ plants in the Europe
Leader is France
About 80% of its power from nuclear
NUCLEAR FUEL
Coolant pump
ØThe coolant pump pressurizes the coolant to
pressures of the order of 155 bar.
ØThe pressue of the coolant loop is
maintained almost constant with the help
of the pump and a pressurizer unit.
Feed pump
ØSteam coming out of the turbine, flows
through the condenser for condensation
and recirculated for the next cycle of
operation.
ØThe feed pump circulates the condensed
water in the working fluid loop.
condenser
ØCondenser is a device or unit which is used
to condense vapor into liquid.
ØThe objective of the condenser are to
reduce the turbine exhaust pressure to
increase the efficiency and to recover high
quality feed water in the form of
condensate & feed back it to the steam
generator without any further treatment.
Cooling tower
Ø Cooling towers are
heat removal
devices used to
transfer process
waste heat to the
atmosphere.
Ø Water cirulating
through the
condeser is taken to
the cooling tower for

Current Waste Disposal
At this time, radioactive wastes are being stored at the
Department of Energy’s facilities around the country
High level wastes are stored in underground carbon or
stainless steel tanks
Spent nuclear fuel is put in above-ground and in water-
filled pools
Advantages
Efficient and cheap energy could be available
No green house gasses are emitted
Raw material like uranium can be easily mined
and is not expensive
large amount of energy can be obtained from a
small setup
Disadvantages
