Figure 01: Schematic arrangement of Nuclear Power Station.
A generating
station in which
nuclear energy is
converted into
electrical energy is
known as a nuclear
power station.

4. History of Nuclear Power Plant

Figure 02: First Electricity production by Nuclear Energy.
 First Electricity Production: 20
December, 1951 in Arco, Idaho, USA.
 First Commercial Use: June 26,
1954 at Obninsk, Russia.
 Present Scenario: 442 nuclear
power plant units in 31 countries
produce electricity about 384 GW.
 Under Construction: 66 plants with
a capacity of 65 GW are in 16
countries.

8. Pros and Cons
Fuel required is quite small
Nuclear power plant requires less space
Very economical for bulk electric
power
Ensure continued supply of electrical
energy
Fuel is expensive
Capital cost is very high
Requires greater technical knowledge
Radioactive fission products

Pros Cons

9. Conclusion
9
Overall, Nuclear energy can be beneficial for
our country.
Nuclear energy is indispensable: it is the only
energy able to produce base load electricity
massively and competitively without greenhouse
gas emission.
