This document provides a summary of the author's summer training and industrial visit at the Rajasthan Atomic Power Station in Rawatbhata, India. It discusses the basics of nuclear energy production and describes the key components and systems involved in the nuclear power generation process, including the reactor building, steam turbine, condenser, deaerator, feedwater heaters, pumps, and cooling towers. It also covers topics like reactor classifications, the Rankine cycle of power production, zone classification, and radioactive waste management systems. The training helped the author gain practical knowledge about nuclear power that supplemented their theoretical studies.

3. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The internship opportunity I had with RAJASTHAN ATOMIC POWER STATION was a
great chance for learning and professional development. Therefore, I consider myself as a very
lucky individual as I was provided with an opportunity to be a part of it Bearing in mind
previous I am using this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude and special thanks to the
NPCIL training co-coordinate Mr. R.K. Sharma who in spite of being extraordinarily busy
with her/his duties, took time out to hear, guide and keep me on the correct path and allowing
me to carry out my project at their esteemed organization and extending during the training.
I would also like to thank to Dr. J. K. DEEGWAL (Head of Department, Electronic
Instrumentation & Control Engineering), Sh. H. S. MEWARA (Associate Professor), Sh.
AJAY DADHICH (Assistant Professor), Dr. C. P. JAIN (Assistant professor) and faculty
members of the department, who often helped and gave me guidance to prepare my report.
Last but not the least, I would like to thank my colleagues who helped me a lot in gathering
information, collecting data and guiding me from time to time in making this project despite
of their busy schedules, they gave me different ideas in making this project unique.

4. ABSTRACT
During my vocational training at Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited. I have tried to
amass as much knowledge I can get on the Nuclear Energy generation. The report tells us about
the various aspects of Nuclear Energy generation. This Internship is organized as follows; the
first section provides the review of relevant literature on internship, followed by a discussion
on the research methodology adopted in this study.
The remaining sections report the findings and conclusion of the study. I saw various processes
and equipment’s used in production of electricity by nuclear power that were studied in books
and this had help me in understanding of power generation and various aspects related to it.
However, this aspect also depends to a significant extent on proper engineering.
