Conclusion
5. Nuclear energy is converted into electrical energy.
Uranium or Thorium are subjected to nuclear fission in
a special apparatus.
Huge amount of electrical energy can be produced from
small amount of nuclear fuel.
1 kg Uranium = 4500 tons high grade coal
6. Electrical energy was generated first time ever by
nuclear reactor on December 20, 1951 in USA.
On June 27, 1954, the first nuclear power station to
generate power in USSR.
Calder Hall in England opened on October 17, 1956.
8. Boiling water reactor (BWR)
Pressurized water reactor (PWR)
Pressurized heavy water reactor (PHWR)
High temperature gas cooled reactor (HTGR)
Liquid metal fast breeder reactor (LMFBR)
9. Nuclear power is the fourth largest source of power in
India.
25 nuclear reactors in operation in 6 power plants
generating 4780 MW
5 are under construction & expected to generate 3153
MW
Nuclear power output to 64000 MW by 2032.
10. Proposal was made in 1961 & approved in 1963.
Government cancelled 200 MW Power plant in 1969-
1970.
Second proposal was made in 1974 with Soviet Union.
BAEC took action to establish 600 MW nuclear power
plant in 2000.
Final agreement with Russia was made in 2009.
11. Is made by Russia.
Location : Rooppur, Paksey, Iswardi, Pabna.
Total area needed 253.90 acres.
Estimated cost 12.65 Billion USD.
Capacity : 2400 MW (2 units, 1200 MW each).
Completed within 2025.
12. Reactor Rooppur 1 Rooppur 2

13. Fuel is being provided by ROSATOM.
All used fuel is to be repatriated to Russia.
Totalling about 22.5 t/yr from each reactor.
BAEC is doing some uranium exploration focusing on
Tipam sandstone.
