What is a Nuclear powerplant?
 A type of powerplant which source of heat is from nuclear reactor.
The heat is created by Fission(splitting atoms).
How uranium becomes nuclear fuel?
Mining,
Leaching with Extraction by
Crushing and
sulfuric acid Ammonia
Heating

Purification by Put in Barrels

Extraction of
Adding Flourine and
Uranium Oxide
and by transported
Centrifuge

Solidifying into
Fuel pellets
Machines used in processing Uranium into
Nuclear Fuel.
Mining and crushing Uranium Ore

Harzards: What to do for safety:

1. Dust getting into the eyes and lungs Wear protective goggles and Water
the dust if possible.

2. Get hit by the operating machine

3. Get hit by rocks because of

explosions Wear earplugs and hard hat. Don’t
smoke when setting up bomb.
 Purifying Uranium

Hazards: What to do for safety:

1.Get hit by operating Signs and signals that machine
machines is on operation.

Wear safety masks, goggles. Put

2. Radiation sensors indicating that there is a
leakage of risky radiation.
 Transporting Fuel pellets
Harzards: What to do for safety:

*Transporting through ship: Check the weather before

1. When the UOC spills in the sea transporting The UOC.
the fishes and corals will die and be
damaged.
*Transporting Through Trucks
2. When the UOC tank has leaks,
there is possibility that people near
the truck will inhale the radiation.
3. The Driver might accidently
crush the vehicle. The driver should have enough
sleep, does not take drugs and don’t
drive if He is drunk.
Nuclear Powerplant Processes
 Place of Nuclear Reactor
Hazards: What to do for safety:
1. Exposure to radiation The containment building
must be designed that
radiation will not escape.

Sensors fo leakage of
radiation

2. Pipe break and lossing

heavy water.
 Storing used Nuclear Fuel
Hazards: What to do for safety:
1. Radiation of used The pool for cooling must be designed
nuclear fuels. to withstand earthquake. It must be
underground. Also, it needs continuous
monitoring.

2. Reheating of used The pool must continually cool the

nuclear fuels. nuclear fuels.
