 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I am highly indebted and owe a sense of gratitude towards Mr. Vinod Sharma, Training
Superintendent, for giving me opportunity to impart training at Nuclear Training Centre of
RAJASTHAN ATOMIC POWER STATION under the guidance of eminent professionals.
It was highly educative and interactive to take training at such a prestigious organization.

My sincere gratitude and thanks to Mr. A.K. Sharma, Senior Training Officer and Our
Alumni, for providing me opportunity to complete my training work at Nuclear Training
Centre.

I express heartfelt gratitude to our Teacher cum Mentor Dr. Doraj Kamal Jamuwa for the
invaluable opportunity to undertake a 45-day internship at NPCIL. Your support and
guidance have been instrumental in enhancing our learning experience. Thank you for
fostering an environment that encourages growth and professional development.

I am also thankful to all those who helped me directly or indirectly through their invaluable
guidance and inspiration for successful completion of this training.

 PREFACE

I Vishal Singh Rajpurohit student of third year of Mechanical Engineering have completed
Industrial training at Rajasthan Atomic Power Station (RAPS) for 45 days from 23/05/2023
to 07/07/2015.

Being an engineering student, the training at Rajasthan Atomic Power Station (RAPS) has
been particularly beneficial for me. I saw various procedures, processes and equipments used
in production of electricity by nuclear power, which were studied in books, and thus helped
me in understanding of power generation and distribution concepts of electrical power.

Rajasthan Atomic Power Station, a constituent of board of Nuclear Power Corporation of

India Limited (NPCIL) is a very large plant & is very difficult to acquire complete
knowledge about it in a short span. I have tried to get acquainted with overall plant
functioning and main concepts involved therein.
