Mistakenly my day2 post was deleted and sadly i have lost all those precious comments that readers gave. I am posting my article again with heavy heart. :(
Day2 theme of
WriteTribe Festival of Words – a seven day blogging challenge is “7
Nuclear Plants of India”.
It
is very common about 7 days in a week, 7 wonders of the world, 7
colors of rainbow and now i am going to ascribe little bit uncommon
that people might not aware:7 critical locations of India where
nuclear power generates.
There
is a big reason in choosing this topic.
All of you know (i am
considering)
How many of you are
actually aware of the term Nuclear and Nucleons (combination of
protons and neutrons)??
I know almost everyone
study these terms in chemistry classes (school) . Also, chemistry is
the must subject for all engineering students in first year (i have
studied even being Electronics Engineer)
Now, the reason of
sharing Nuclear Theme because when the Japan disaster happened late
in 2011, i was actually not aware of : Which central organization is
dealing with “Nuclear Power”our country? How many plants are
available in India and where?
Do you know??
Now the answer i know
probably. Do not be shy, 85% people are unaware. Please continue
reading as it may be worth to know that disaster can happen
anywhere.
Being embarrassed with
self knowledge i have done lot of research for some time then. It is
my genuine effort in making combine article to make all of you little
aware with nuclear power or nuclear energy which is used to generate
useful heat and electricity.
Why Nuclear Power??
Electricity
is a basic input which is closely related
to the economic development of a country In-spite
of the impressive strides in increasing overall installed capacity in
the country, we are still facing power shortages. Options available
for commercial electricity generation are hydro, thermal, nuclear and
renewable. In the energy planning of the country, a judicious mix of
hydro, thermal, nuclear and renewable is an important aspect.
Diversified energy resource-base is essential to meet electricity
requirements and to ensure long-term energy security. With the
limited resources of coal and oil available in the country and with
growing global concerns of greenhouse gases generated by fossil-fuel-
fired-stations, nuclear power is being called upon to play a greater
role in medium- and longterm perspective.
The
organization who has a larger scale in developing nuclear power is -
Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL), a Public
Sector Enterprise under the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE),
Government of India. It was incorporated on September 17, 1987 as a
Public Limited Company under the Companies Act 1956, with the
objective of operating the atomic power stations and implementing the
atomic power projects for the generation of electricity, in pursuance
of the schemes and programmes of government of India under the Atomic
Energy Act.
Mission
To
develop nuclear power technology and to produce nuclear power as a
safe, environmentally benign and an economically viable source of
electrical energy to meet the increasing electricity needs of the
country.
Nuclear
Power Plant: A nuclear power
plant is a thermal power
station in which the heat source is a
nuclear reactors. Nuclear power plants are some of the most
sophisticated and complex energy systems ever designed. Any complex
system, no matter how well it is designed and engineered, cannot be
deemed failure-proof. That is the reason it is located miles from the
living location. In many countries, plants are often located on the
coast, in order to provide a ready source of cooling water for the
essential water system. As a consequence the design needs to take the
risk of flooding and tsunamic into account
As
of Jan`2013, the IAEA report there are 439 nuclear power reactors in
operation operating in 31 countries.
