What is Russia's Floating Nuclear Power Plant Technology Offered to India?"

Описание: Recently, Russia has offered India technology for building and operating floating “low power” nuclear power generation projects. This has been revealed in a press release of the Russian state-owned nuclear power company, Rosatom.
In this video we have discussed few important dimensions related to Floating Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP) like:
-- What is small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and its link with Floating Nuclear power plant
-- What is Floating Nuclear power plant
-- About Russia’s Floating Nuclear power plant
-- Its application & How it will help India
-- Challenges associated with FNPP

Few Important points to remember:
A) Related to small Modular Reactors (SMRs)
-- The rise in coal consumption despite increased solar and wind power underlines the need for Low-Carbon Electricity Resources such as Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) to ensure Deep Decarbonization.
-- SMRs are advanced nuclear reactors that have a power capacity of up to 300 MW(e) per unit, which is about one-third of the generating capacity of traditional nuclear power reactors.
--Small: Physically a fraction of the size of a conventional nuclear power reactor.
-- Modular: Making it possible for systems and components to be factory-assembled and transported as a unit to a location for installation.
-- Reactors: Harnessing nuclear fission to generate heat to produce energy.

Floating nuclear power plants can be considered a type of Small Modular Reactor (SMR).

What is a Floating Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP)?
-- A Floating Nuclear Power Plant is like a power station that floats on water. -- It uses a nuclear reactor to generate electricity.

How does FNPP work?
-- The nuclear reactor on the FNPP generates heat, which is used to produce steam.
-- This steam then turns a turbine connected to a generator, and this generator produces electricity.

What are its applications?
-- FNPPs can provide electricity and heat to remote coastal locations where it’s hard to set up traditional power plants
-- It can also help in reducing carbon emissions from offshore oil and gas or mining activities.
-- It can also provide electricity to Natural disasters region.

How can it help India?
-- India has a vast coastline and many remote islands. FNPPs can provide a reliable supply of electricity to these areas.
-- Also, since they can be built in a factory and transported to a site, it may help speed up construction and keep costs down.

Challenges: Remember, while FNPPs have many benefits, they also come with challenges. Safety is a top priority, and measures must be taken to prevent accidents and protect the environment.
