Second unit ready for nuclear power generation at Kudankulam
New delhi . The second unit of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KNPP) in Tamil Nadu has attained its generation capacity of 1,000 MWe and will soon start commercial power generation.
The unit is India’s 22nd nuclear power reactor and among the largest in the country. “With the nuclear reactor attaining generation capacity India’s nuclear-power generation has now risen to 6,780 MWe,” said R.S. Sundar, site director, KNPP, on Republic Day in Chettikulam village.
Construction of the nuclear power plant project, which is an Indo-Russian joint venture, started in 2002 but was delayed because of sustained opposition from the local communities who argued that it was unsafe. Hindustantimes
