Kakrapar Atomic Power Plant

India's second home-built 700 MW nuclear power reactor at Kakrapar Atomic Power Station (KAPS) in Gujarat today started operating at its full capacity, the plant operator said.

Unit 3 of the Kakrapar Atomic Power Plant or KAPP, the 700 MW Pressurised Heavy Water Reactor in Gujarat, is expected to be commissioned by November this year, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said today.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today congratulated nuclear scientists as Gujarat's Kakrapar atomic power plant-3 achieved criticality, saying the indigenous reactor is a shining example of the 'Make in India' campaign.

In a highly guarded Indian nuclear reactor complex, toughened radiation resistant pipes have contracted 'small pox'.

The Kakrapar Atomic Power Station (KAPS) unit 1 in Gujarat, which has been shutdown since March due to radioactive leak, may still take nearly 3-8 months for full recovery.

The heavy water leakage at Kakrapar Atomic Power Station in Gujarat must impel the Centre not to go ahead with new nuclear power projects in the country, senior CPI(M) leader Prakash Karat said yesterday.

A day after one of the units of Kakrapar Atomic Power Station (KAPS) near Surat in Gujarat was shut down after heavy water leakage, a team of experts today began a probe to identify the cause of the leak even as officials reaffirmed that there was no radioactive release at the site.

An emergency has been declared within the nuclear plant at Kakrapar in Gujarat after a major heavy water leak in a nuclear reactor. No worker has been exposed to radiation, said officials.

Nalco faces a daunting challenge of keeping operational and raw material costs in check to stay competitive even as it tries to expand capacity to take advantage of an infrastructure boom in India.

After a record production this year, India is working on creating a 'strategic uranium reserve' to ensure its atomic power reactors do not face shortage of the crucial nuclear fuel.
