As this was the last semister of our college days , a tour to south india is proposed ,and requested all the students should come and have fun with their classmates,
The tour package is Rs 5400/- visiting the most famous places in south india for 9 days from 1st march,2013 to 8th march,2013.
In this visit we are going to visit two power plants namely Nuclear Power Plant ,kalpakkam
and NEYVELI LIGNITE CORPORATION LIMITED ...
The arrangements are being quickly completing with the help of the tour organisers.providing best accomdation and food and having safe journey..
some of the places we going to visit are
Nuclear Power Plant ,kalpakkam:
Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research [IGCAR ]
Kalpakkam Atomic Reprocessing Plant [KARP]
Kalpakkam is situated about 80 km south of Chennai. It takes about 3 hours to reach Kalpakkam by State Transport Bus and about 2 hours by Taxi. Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research [IGCAR], the second largest establishment of the Department of Atomic Energy next to Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, has a staff strength of 2290 including 930 Engineers and Scientists. IGCAR was established in 1971 with the main objective of conducting broad based multidisciplinary programme of scientific research and advanced Engineering, directed towards the development of Fast Breeder Reactor [FBR] technology.
The Madras Atomic Power Station [MAPS] in Kalpakkam, near Chennai (Tamil Nadu), is a comprehensive nuclear power production, fuel reprocessing, and waste treatment facility that includes plutonium fuel fabrication for Fast Breeder Reactors [FBRs]. Two pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs) at Kalpakkam started commercial operation in 1984 and 1986. They were designed, built and operated with indigenous expertise, establishing Indian capabilities in design, construction, and operation of nuclear power plants. Construction of the Waste Immobilization Plant (WIP) in Kalpakkam started in 1983 with commissioning in 1993. An Interim Storage Facility [ISF] is also located in Kalpakkam.
The Indira Gandhi Centre has established a comprehensive R&D infrastructure over the entire range of FBR technology spanning reactor engineering, metallurgy and materials, chemistry of fuels and materials, fuel reprocessing and reactor safety studies, control and instrumentation, computer applications, and has developed a strong base in a wide variety of disciplines related to this advanced technology. IGCAR successfully built the 40 megawatt(th) sodium cooled Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) which uses indigenously developed mixed uranium-plutonium carbide fuel core. FBTR was synchronised to the southern grid, in July 1997.
Based on the experience in the design, construction, commissioning and operation of FBTR the Department has undertaken the development of a 500 megawatt(e) Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) at Kalpakkam. The technology development for all major components for this reactor is in an advanced stage and the construction is expected to start in the next few years.In September 2002, in a bid to provide long-term energy security as well as to utilise resources available to the fullest, it was announced that construction of India's first 500 MW prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR) would commence shortly. This reactor would prove to be an important link in India's three stage nuclear power programme and would ensure that the vagaries of the world fuel supply market do not affect the country. The utilisation of natural uranium in FBRs increases to over 75 per cent as compared to 0.6 per cent in nuclear reactors based on Pressurised Heavy-Water Reactor technology. With the Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FTBR) already running at Kalpakkam since 1985, India has valuable experience to ensure the smooth functioning of FBR. It would take seven years to construct the prototype FBR. The Department of Atomic Energy has proposed not only to build four more FBRs of similar capacity by the year 2020 but also to undertake designing and development of FBRs with the capacity of 1000 MW.
Plutonium for nuclear weapons, which is also the fuel for the second stage reactors of the Indian nuclear power program, is obtained from spent uranium fuel of Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWR). Fuel reprocessing aims at recovering the reusable fissile and fertile component of the spent fuel. Fuel reprocessing started in India at a time when it was regarded as an exclusively nuclear weapon related activity. Understandably, no collaboration was forthcoming in this field and so India had to develop this technology entirely by indigenous efforts. In India today there are three reprocessing plants to extract Plutonium from spent fuel, one at Trombay, the second at Tarapur and recently the third one was cold commissioned at Kalpakkam.
The Kalpakkam Atomic Reprocessing Plant [KARP] facility, with a capacity 100 tonne per annum, with several novel features and concepts, was successfully commissioned at Kalpakkam in 1998. The plant at Kalpakkam incorporates a number of innovative features such as hybrid maintenance concept in hot cells using servo-manipulators and engineered provisions for extending the life of the plant. This plant will cater to the needs of reprocessing fuels from MAPS as well as FBTR.
The Fuel Reprocessing Plant Kalpakkam reprocesses spent fuel from the Kalpakkam reactors and from the 15-MWe FBTR commissioned 1985. It uses the PUREX process, with a separate line for FBTR mixed-carbide fuels. The capacity was originally 0.5 tHM/d for PHWR fuels. A plant for reprocessing of fast reactor fuel (FRFRP) is under construction at Kalpakkam. The Kalpakkam facility will separate even larger quantities of plutonium than the similar Tarapur facility, both of which can supply plutonium to India's nuclear weapons program.

VISIT TO HYDEL POWER PLANT -SRISAILAM
On 20th august ,2011.our 3rd year EEE students are going to visit the hydel power plant,srisailam.
All arrangemants are in progress. With the help of all the students,faculty and our HOD sir we should made the tour success,
These are some of the pictures of the places that we are going to visit on 20th august,2011.....

The Srisailam Dam is a dam constructed across the Krishna River at Srisailam in the Kurnool district in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India and is the 2nd largest capacity hydroelectric project in the country.
The dam was constructed in a deep gorge in the Nallamala Hills, 300 m (980 ft) above sea level. It is 512 m (1,680 ft) long, 145 m (476 ft) high and has 12 radial crest gates. It has a reservoir of 800 km2 (310 sq mi). The left bank hydroelectric power station generates 6 × 150 MW of power and right bank generates 7 × 110 MW of power.

This coloumn gives you a brief visit to VTPS . VTPS usually known as Dr. Narla Thata Rao Thermal Power Station who is the founder of this project . This project mainly consists of two power generation stations of which one produces 500 MW output and other of 210 MW . These are built purely basing on the japanese technology . The functioning of both the stations is similar with a slight difference in latest equipment installed in 500MW station based on the latest trend of the technology
Now let us have a brief mechanism of the working of the power plant . This plant works on the basis of thermal energy (coal) .Huge amount of coal is brought from different areas such as singareni coal mines etc through wagons based upon the classification of coal quality required .Generally they prefer A class coal . With the help of equipments such as lifts this coal is taken to atop of 40 feet and from there gradually this bulky and rocky coal is dropped into millers which crush this coal into fine particals of about 10 mm radius which are inbuilt with crushers usually known as grinders and this fine coal is transferred to gthe furnace which is situated at the boiler position and the huge amount of air is passed along with it into the furnace for the combustion to take place . This heating fuel boils the water in the boiler which is brought from an over head tank thorugh pipes and convert it into steam and sent this steam along the pipes which join this overhead tank with a partion layer between steam and water this generated steam is passed into superheaters to remove the moisture and set the required pressure and tempreature and then force this steam with an high pressure and temperature on to the turbines which rotate based on this steam energy and produce electrictiy with the help of generators . This generated electricity is transferred to the transformers to meet a required voltage and then the switch yards along through control room and then to the nearby substations which provide power to required power to the consumers .
