 NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
Obtaining energy by Thermonuclear fission.

Located away from heavily populated areas.

Requires minimum space compared to other plants of the same

capacity.
Lower than Thermal Power Station if operated subcritical about 33% to
35%
Uranium (U235) and other radioactive metals.
Deposits of nuclear fuel are present all over the world. Also, uranium
can be extracted from sea water, but it’s a complicated and complex
process.

Fuel (uranium) itself isn’t too costly. However, if enriched uranium is

used, then the cost of fuel increases considerably. A small amount of
fuel is used, so transportation costs are less.

Highest. A Nuclear reactor is complex and requires the most skilled

engineers.
Small amount of fuel used, so running cost is low.
Very high. Skilled personnel are needed.

Quite low. Such plants can be located near the load centers.

7% to 10% of unit capacity.

Less than Thermal Power Station. Can be started easily.

Less.

Radioactive waste is produced.

Disposal of radioactive wastes may affect the environment, especially if

it is buried underground. Underwater contamination may occur.

40-60 years.
 THERMAL POWER PLANT
It works on Modified Rankine Cycle by obtaining energy from Coal
It is located at a site where coal, water and transportation facilities
are available easily. It is located near load centers.
Need a large space due to coal storage, turbine, boiler and other
auxiliaries.

In supercritical operation the plant efficiency is about 35%-38%

Coal (mostly) or oil

Coal reserves are present all over the world. However, Coal is non-
renewable and limited.

High. Coal is heavy and has to be transported to the plant in large

quantity.

Lower than Nuclear power plants.

Large amount of fuel used.Higher than Nuclear power plants.

High. Skilled engineers and staff are needed.

Low. It is usually located near load centers.

About 10% of unit capacity.

It requires more start up time
More than nuclear power plants. Boiler flame has to be kept burning,
so some amount of coal is used constantly, even when the turbine is
not in operation.
Less clean. Smoke and ash are produced.

Air pollution occurs and leads to acid rain. Greenhouse gases are also
produced.

30 - 40 years.
