Nuclear Power Corp of India has signed a memorandum of understanding with French utility EDF for the construction of six EPR nuclear reactors at Jaitapur.

Voicing its staunch opposition to the Jaitapur nuclear power plant, the Shiv Sena has sent a detailed report on the project to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, highlighting the "adverse impact" it would have on the green belt in Maharashtra's Konkan region.

The Kudankulam nuclear reactor will start generating 1000 Megawatt of power by October end, Union Minister V Narayanasamy said today.

Following the Prime Minister's statement that the opposition against the nuclear power plant in Kudankulam was being fuelled by foreign funded NGOs, the Congress in Maharashtra has written to the Prime Minister saying they suspect a foreign hand in the protests against the Jaitapur Nuclear Power plant.

Koodankulam in Tirunelvelli district of Tamil Nadu is witnessing huge protest. The reason: An upcoming nuclear plant which, once functional, will be India's largest power generation complex.
