Introduction
Floating nuclear power stations is a combined heat
and low-power nuclear station .A vessels that is self-
contained, low-capacity floating nuclear power plant.

Why nuclear power generation on sea?
Provides energy equivalent to millions of times its
weight in coal and oil.
Economical (overall cost low).
Nuclear reactors dont require combustion and emit no
exhaust gas.
Doesnt require any land for construction.
High power density per unit space.

Barge Operations
FNPP operations are carried out very much the same as
land based facilities, with the plant being dispatched in
accordance with grid demand.

The FNPP is fitted with an
onboard control room
complete with data
acquisition and all
machinery and equipment
controls. Switchgear,
motor controllers, mainbreakers and station and
step up transformers are all
installed on the barge.

Transportation
One of the most significant differences of a floating
nuclear power plant to a land based plant is its
transportability;
being capable of moving the unit from one location
to another. This is achieved with the use of towingboats, designed to move very large structures
around the world weighing upwards of 60,000 tons.

Interesting features
Generate 1/15th power produced by standard nuclear
power plant.
Low cost of electricity.
Supply heat and desalinate seawater.
Save up to 2,00,000 metric tons of coal and 1,00,000 tons
of fuel oil a year.
Every 12 years the plant will be overhauled.

Safety
A floating facility, near a coast but not in shallow water,can avoid the worst problems of earthquakes andtsunamis.
In deep enough water, tsunamis have minimal effect onfloating structures, and earthquakes transmit much lessforce to them.
Close to a seacoast helps, access to sea water for cooling.An emergency measure can be to lower the core into the
sea.

Advantages over traditional
Nuclear Power PlantsLand area not required.
Time of completion is very less.
Safe from Tsunami and Earthquake.
Flexible and Movable.
Economical( in terms of over haulage).
Construction required is less.

Conclusion
In an era where power consumption is
increasing alarmingly, the production is not
matching with the demand.
FNPP is the most suitable alternative source of
power generation as far as space, safety,
economical, environmental and purification of
saline water is concerned.
