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.

Technical Description
The FNPP can be self \non-self-propelled vessels Boiling Water Reactor is used. Provides up to 150 MW of electricity or 300 MW of heat.

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, main

breakers 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 towing boats, 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.

locations
Sea and coastal beds. River. Lagoons.

Safety
A floating facility, near a coast but not in shallow water,

can avoid the worst problems of earthquakes and tsunamis.

In deep enough water, tsunamis have minimal effect on

floating structures, and earthquakes transmit much less force 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.

Land area not required.

Advantages over traditional Nuclear Power Plants

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.

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
