5. INTRODUCTION
The nuclear power is
generated from nuclear
reaction. There two kinds of
nuclear reaction:
a) Nuclear Fusion
b) Nuclear Fission

6. INTRODUCTION
Fig.2 : Nuclear Power Plant Generation Process[5]
The principles for using nuclear power to produce electricity
are the same for most types of reactor. The energy released
from continuous fission of the atoms of the fuel is harnessed
as heat in either a gas or water, and is used to produce
steam. The steam is used to drive the turbines which produce
electricity.[2]

7. INTRODUCTION
In recent time, Nuclear power plant has become very attractive source of
generating electricity due to no carbon emission. As the nuclear power plant is
installed at the land-side and any accident to the plant causes devastation of
the land life and whole infrastructure, many protests are being raised from
different sectors of the society. An accident of a nuclear power plant can
cause enormous damages including long-term effect and we have already
experienced this in 2011, the “Fukushima Daichi Incident” in Japan.
“Off-shore floating nuclear power plant (OFNP)” which gives a
solution regarding natural disasters and smart protection of nuclear
power plant.” Floating Nuclear Power Plant(FNP) ” and “Off-shore
Nuclear Power Plant(ONP)” are not the new terms in the research era
of nuclear power. By combining this two, a new look, titled “Off-shore
floating nuclear power plant (OFNP)” can be designed. [3]

8. LITERATURE REVIEW
1. It is seem that the idea of building floating nuclear power plants
(FNPPs) was first given in 1969 by Richard Eckert, vice-president
of the "New Jersey Public Services Electric and Gas Company"
(USA) (Grossman, 1980). [5]
2. Russia launched the first floating nuclear power plant (FNP) in
2010 with 35 MWe [6].
3. Russian nuclear engineering group, Rosatom had planned to build
almost eight facilities by 2015. Each plant would include two
nuclear reactors, ranging from capacities 35 MWe to 325 MWe and
38 years’ lifetime . This will come to in operation within 2018. [7]
4. China is also working on floating nuclear power plant and they are
expecting that their small modular off-shore multipurpose reactor
will be operation by 2020.[8]

vertically moored tension leg and mini-tension leg platform; 6)
spar; 7, 8) semi-submersibles; 9) floating production, storage,
and offloading facility; 10) sub-sea completion and tie-back to
OFNP is designed based on two very well-known technologies –
A. Nuclear Reactor :
Small modular reactors, fast reactors, molten salt reactors, thorium
reactors and large light water reactors can be used in OFNP. Uranium or
thorium is used as nuclear fuel here. [9]
B. Deep-sea Oil Platform :
The off-shore platforms are designed such a way so that it can sustain
with a very harsh marine environment. Its lifetime can be expected up to
twenty-five years. This platform is designed for open sea, lakes, gulfs
which is many kilometers away from shorelines. The platform is made of
steel or concrete but steel is suitable for OFNP. There are various types
of steel structure depending on the purpose and level of water, on where
this will work. [10]

10. DESIGN METHODOLOGY
For generating 300
megawatts of electricity,
the main structure should
be about 45 meters in
diameter [1]. OFNP is
mostly constructed with
steel. There is no need of
using concrete which
reduces the cost.[11]
The whole structure of
OFNP is cylindrical in
shape which is shown in
Fig. 4. The main parts of
this structure are
maintenance hall,
adjustable ballast, turbine
sector, steam drum, spent
fuel pool, reactor hull,
containment, ballast, skirt
etc. Fig.5: Cylindrical OFNP[13]

11. DESIGN METHODOLOGY
The nuclear reactor and its
subsidiary operational
equipment are kept in the
watertight compartment for
ensuring security, safety,
providing easy access to
operate in ocean water. The
whole structure is placed at a
low center of gravity for
enhancing stability. There is a
reactor pressure vessel (RPV)
in the plant which contains the
reactors and associated
operating components inside
itself. The RPV is also enclosed
by a compact structure named
‘Containment’. A huge chamber
surrounding the containment,
separated by a gap is
continuously flooded with
seawater. Seawater can easily
enter and leave the chamber Fig.6: OFNP300 cross section[12]7/30/2017 11

14. APPLICATIONS
1.Can reduce the load shedding in
Bangladesh.
2. Can be use in the global market as
product.
3. By this projects many job sector will be
created to reduce the unemployment
problem.
4. Green land will be remain unaffected.

15. ADVANTAGES
i) An earthquake causing tsunami can swell the water of the
offshore about ten kilometers. But the concept of OFNP can
immune the effect of earthquake if this site is placed in water 100
meters deep.
ii) The ocean can be used as infinite heat sink. Due to hydrogen
bond acting on the molecules, water has very high specific heat
compared to other substances. The specific heat of water is
4.184 J/g* C.
iii) The ocean provides an unlimited cooling water to the reactor
which is also cost-effective. In “Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant
Incident”, the power to the cooling pumps was cut, fuel in the
reactor cores was melted and radiation was leaked out. As OFNP
is placed sufficiently bellow the water line, the water will flow
passively without any direct pumping and sea water
contamination.
iv) OFNP is a safe, reliable and economically profitable energy
source which is technically proven. [13]

16. DISADVANTAGES
1. The radioactive waste coming from nuclear power
plants is a great threat to Mother Nature and humans.
2. Radioactive material is considered waste after it has
spent more than 3 years in the reactor producing heat
and electricity. This waste comes from nuclear reactors
and needs to be disposed of or stored safely and
conveniently considering they are highly dangerous
and can let off radiations if disposed of incorrectly.
3. Constructing a nuclear power plant requires massive
capital outlay. For example, between the year 2002 to
2008, the cost of constructing a new power plant
increased from between $4 billion per unit to a
staggering $9 billion per unit. [14]

17. CONCLUSION & FUTURE
WORK
CONCLUSION:
Bangladesh is highly populated country.
Population of Bangladesh is increasing day by
day. For that reason I recommended here to go
for the installation of OFNP. The question may
arise that OFNP might be a risk for marine life. In
case of any vital accident, radioactive materials
might be dispersed into the water. Though 66
nuclear tests were experimented near Marshall
Islands and the result indicates the marine life is
sustaining, we need to take more precautionary
measures so that radioactive materials can’t
disperse or if it is dispersed somehow, it can not
cause any serious harm to the marine life and
marine ecosystem [14].

18. CONCLUSION & FUTURE
WORK
Future work:
1. Making a design which is suitable for Bangladesh.
2. Finding a less threatening costal area to
installation.
3. Cost calculation.
4. Minimizing the system cost.
5. Load calculation for that desired area.
