A clutch of petitions had challenged a Madras High Court order in August last year that, while asking India's nuclear watchdog to ensure that necessary safeguards were complied with, gave the go-ahead for the loading of fuel in the plant.
It said all expert bodies were of unanimous opinion that adequate safety measures had been taken.
The top court observed that development of nuclear energy is important for India and allowing the plant is in larger public interest.
