For better view : https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1NWlCP_WaaGw55eOJ-Ac9csE4TzdACMmowr9Oyc8b1QE/edit?usp=sharing Fission-based electric power stations are responsible for the emission of negligible amount of Carbon Di-oxide and thus many countries are considering the possibility of building Nuclear Power Plants in order to get clean energy at a reasonable cost. Bangladesh is not different either. Though Bangladesh might not have a strong financial support, but they are going to enter the Elite Club of "Nuclear Power Producing Countries" in 2023. Thanks to Rosatom and thanks to Russia for their outstanding support.

5. Introduction
⚫Nuclear Power Plant is a thermal power station in which the
heat source is a Nuclear Reactor.
⚫Controlled Nuclear Fission is generated inside the reactor to
produce heat.
⚫Stable and powerful source.
⚫Continuously supply energy for long time.
⚫Uranium, Plutonium and other radioactive elements are used as
fuel.
⚫Very high amount of power can be gained by a Nuclear Power
Plant with comparatively low cost.
⚫Uranium can supply 10,000 times more energy than Crude Oil
and Coal
⚫A commonly and most reliable method of energy production in
developed countries throughout the world.
⚫Cleaner and eco-friendly than other conventional methods.

6. History of
Nuclear Power

7. ⊙ Electricity was generated by a nuclear reactor for the first time ever on
September 3, 1948 in X-10 Graphite Reactor in USA.
⊙ The world's first full scale power station, Calder Hall in England, opened
on October 17, 1956.
⊙ Generations :

Plant
Solution for Electricity
➨ Present electricity demand of the country : 8500 MW
➨ Present Production : 6500 MW
➨ Ruppur Nuclear Power Plant Production Capacity :
2.4 GWh
➨ Shortage of electricity will be solved
➨ An easy alternative to Natural Gas and Coal
➨ High amount of power by comparatively low cost
➨ Less environmental hazard than most convenient
methods

Finance & Agreement
➔ Nuclear Power action plan adopted : 2001
➔ Bangladesh Govt. Signed a MoU with Russia on : 13
February, 2009
➔ Rosatom promised to start the construction by 2013
➔ Construction was delayed 1 year for Security Issues
➔ The plan was moved from VVER-1000 to VVER 1200
➔ Total Estimated Cost : $12.65 Billion
➔ Russian Govt. will bear 90% of the cost as loan
➔ Russia will supply Nuclear Fuel and take back Spent

Ruppur Nuclear
Power Plant

16. Ruppur Nuclear
Power Plant :
Location
Site Survey:
⇨Identification of potential sites through
Screening and comparison
Site Selection :
⇨Selecting the final site through Ranking of all
candidate sites
Site Assessment:
⇨65 Types of Soil and Chemical tests were done

17. Ruppur Power Plant Project

Ruppur,
Pakshey union,
Ishwardi
upazila,
Pabna district

23. Environmental
Impact of
Ruppur
Nuclear Power
Plant
● Impact on Water
● Impact on Human Health &
Animal
● Impact on Forest
● Waste Disposal
● Radioactive waste
● Nuclear Weapon Proliferation

24. Impact
on
Water
⊙Large volumes of water are used
during Nuclear Power Generation
( 672 gal per MWh)
⊙Established near “Farakka Barrage”-
that gets less water in summer
season for cooling purpose
⊙Many aquatic organisms are trapped
and killed against the screens
⊙Small Aquatic Animals are subjected
to entrainment (Toxic Stress)

25. Impact
on
Human
Health &
Animal
⊙ Radiation exposure above a certain
threshold, usually only received by workers
and emergency teams in a stricken plant,
causes acute radiation syndrome within
hours of exposure.
⊙ Depending on the dose of radiation this
ranges from skin rashes, vomiting and
diarrhoea to coma and death.
⊙High enough doses also damage brain cells
and such doses are invariably fatal.
⊙Gut damage disturbs fluid balance and can
lead to blood infection.

26. Impact on
Forest
And Heat
Rejection
⊙Direct impacts of vegetation removal or
damage during construction
⊙Indirect impacts on vegetation from air
pollution or surface water impacts caused by
the power plant
⊙60 to 70% of thermal energy from the
nuclear fuel is rejected out of the plant

27. Accident at Chernobyl
Nuclear
Power Plant
⇨INES level 7 (worst nuclear accident ever)
⇨Happened due to technical problem
⇨Releasing radiation into the atmosphere and cutting off the flow of
coolant into the reactor
⇨Thirty-one deaths are directly attributed to the accident, all among
the reactor staff and emergency workers
⇨50 emergency workers who died soon after the accident from acute
radiation syndrome
⇨Nine children who have died of thyroid cancer and 116,000 needed
to be evacuated.

28. Accident at
Fukushima
Power Plant
⇨Following a major earthquake, a 15-metre tsunami disabled the power
supply and cooling of three Fukushima Daiichi reactors
⇨INES Level 7 ( accident with wider consequences)
⇨Four reactors were written off due to damage in the accident
⇨No Death or sickness caused by radiation but 1600 people
died due to evacuation conditions
⇨Over 300000 people needed to be evacuated
