Ans : The nuclear power station is that in which the heat energy released during nuclear fission is utilized for generating steam which in turbine is used to drive the conventional steam turbo alternator.

Ans : Uranium (U₂₃₅), Thorium (Th₂₃₂) and plutonium (Pu₂₃₉).

Ans : Atomic rector, Heat exchanger, Steam turbine and Alternator.

Ans : The atomic reactor is a chamber in the chamber in which the fission of uranium nuclei in its core takes place and produces heat energy.

Ans : The heat energy produced by the fission is used to boil the water for producing the steam.

Ans : If one gram of uranium undergoes fission about 24000 kWh is produced in the form of heat.

Ans: Basically an atomic power station differs from a conventional steam power station only in that boiler unit is replaced by an atomic reactor and a steam generator, other parts remaining same.

Ans : About 20% to 25%.

Ans : Advantages:

1. It does not require any oxygen for burning.
2. The fuel can be transported easily.
3. The running cost is low.
4. The power output can be adjusted easily.

1. Its initial cost is high.
2. Heavy safety arrangements are needed against radiation hazards.
3. The difficulty of disposal of the highly radioactive waste often arises.

Ans:

1. Availability of profuse water.
2. Means for safe disposal of residues.
3. Strong rocky foundation.
4. Distance from the inhabited area.
5. Proximity of large concentrated load.
