Nanotechnology: Semiconductors

  • These are materials which have a conductivity between conductors (generally metals) and non-conductors or insulators (such as ceramics).
  • Its resistance falls with rise in temperature, opposite to metals.
  • Semiconductors act like an insulator at Zero Kelvin.
  • g.: pure metals such as silicon or germanium or compounds such as gallium arsenide or cadmium selenide.
Types of Semiconductors
Intrinsic material: Material made to be very pure chemically. It possesses a very low conductivity level having very few number of charge carriers, namely electrons and holes(in equal quantities). E.g.: germanium, silicon.
Extrinsic material: Extrinsic material – Electrical conductivity is higher than Intrinsic material.

In this a small amount of impurity has been added to the basic intrinsic material. This creates either an excess or shortage of electrons. In this way, two types of semiconductors are available:

  • N-type: has excess of electrons. Free electrons are available within the lattices and their overall movement in one direction under the influence of potential differences result in an electric current flow.
  • P-type: has shortages of electrons, i.e. there are ‘holes’ in crystal lattice.

Natural occurrence Does not normally occur in nature. Yes. occurs in stars, such as the sun.
By-products Produces many highly radioactive particles Few radioactive particles are produced
 Energy Requirement Takes little energy to split atoms Extremely high energy is required to bring two or more protons close enough that nuclear forces overcome their electrostatic repulsion.
Energy Released Lower than Fusion reaction but higher than other chemical reactions Higher than Fission reaction
Usage In nuclear power generation, Atom bombs In the experimental stage for future power generation.

 

Nanotechnology: NUCLEAR REACTOR

Nanotechnology: URANIUM ENRICHMENT

  • The Natural Composition of Uranium extracted from earth is that 99.3% is U-238, which is fertile and remaining is U-235, which is fissile.
  • When the percentage of U-235 is increased in mixture i.e., described as Uranium enrichment.
  • For this purpose, most commonly used technology is of
  • On the basis of enrichment, two types of Uranium: 1) Low Enriched uranium (LEU), 2) High enriched Uranium (HEU).
  • LEU is used for peaceful purposes like fuel in nuclear reactors (Kudankulam (1.5%) & Jaitapur (5%) required enriched Uranium.
  • HEU is weapon grade uranium used for conducting nuclear tests and nuclear weapons.

U-233 (not found naturally) is produced in Thermal breeder reactors where Thorium-232 absorbs a neutron to form U-233 which is fissile.

Nanotechnology: Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty (FMCT)

  • Proposed International agreement that would prohibit the production of two main components of nuclear weapons: highly enriched uranium (HEU) and Plutonium.

Nanotechnology: MODERATORS 

  • Moderators are generally atoms with lighter nuclei and do not absorb neutrons.
  • Hence, these are used in nuclear reactors to slow down the neutron in a controlled chain reaction.
  • Generally Ordinary Water, Heavy Water and Graphite rods are used as moderators.

Nanotechnology: CONTROL RODS

  • They are used in nuclear reactors to control the fission rate of uranium or plutonium.
  • Control rods are made of neutron poisons or therefore absorb neutrons This action results in fewer neutrons available to cause fission & reduces the reactor’s power output.
  • Control rods absorb neutrons but do not release energy in the process.
  • Their compositions include chemical elements such as Boron, Cadmium, Silver, or Indium, that are capable of absorbing many neutrons without themselves fissioning.

Nanotechnology: NUCLEAR REACTOR & ITS TYPES

  • The commercial power plants have several types of design. They vary depending on the type of heat transfer fluid that is used and other design elements.

  1. Abundance of fuel (Hydrogen)
  2. Clean source of energy as it involves no release of CO2
  3. Elimination of risk from nuclear waste.
  • But these Fusion reactors are still in the experimental stage due to their complexity in its operational handling.
  • Different types of fission reactors are listed in the table below.

Gas-Cooled Reactors CO2 Graphite Natural / Enriched Uranium

 

Why Does India Prefer Fast Breeder Reactors?

  • FBRs are designed to produce more fissile material (plutonium) than they consume (Thorium Th-232).
  • Enrichment and Reprocessing technology (ENR) is not easy and costly, and FBRs Effectively utilizes the natural uranium (nearly 80%).
  • Consuming the depleted fuel discharged from thermal reactors, FBRs are important from Waste management and environmental considerations.
  • FBR technology can use Thorium (as fertile material) which gets converted to U-233, a fissile isotope. This holds great promise as India has one of the world’s largest deposits of Thorium (450,000 tons) in the form of sand dunes in Kerala and Chattarpur coast of Orissa.

 Nanotechnology: INDIA’S THREE STAGE NUCLEAR PROGRAM

  • India has consciously proceeded to explore the possibility of tapping nuclear energy for the purpose of power generation and the Atomic Energy Act was framed and implemented with the set objectives of using two naturally occurring elements Uranium & Thorium having good potential to be utilized as nuclear fuel in Indian Nuclear Power Reactors.
  • The 3-stage nuclear programme is developed with the aim of utilizing the vast Thorium reserves in India (about 25% of the world) as India is a Uranium scarce country.
Stage-1: Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor PHWRs using:

  • Natural UO2 as fuel matrix (contains 99.3% U-238 and 0.7% U-235)
  • Heavy water as moderator and coolant.
 Stage-2:

Fast Breeder Reactor

  • Primarily based on Plutonium which was obtained from the first stage reactor operation, as the fuel core.
  • A blanket of U-238 surrounding the fuel core will undergo nuclear transmutation to produce fresh Pu-239 as more and more Pu-239 is consumed during the operation.
  • Besides, a blanket of Th-232 around the FBR core also undergoes neutron capture reactions leading to the formation of U-233.
  • U-233 is the nuclear reactor fuel for the third stage.
 Stage-3:

Breeder Reactor

  • Fuel: U-233 is obtained from the nuclear transmutation of Th-232 in stage-2 programme.
  • Since India has abundant Thorium reserves in the form of monazite sand, the 3rd stage is critical for India’s nuclear energy basket.
