Kakrapar Atomic Power Station

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.

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.

Greenpeace India on Tuesday demanded a probe by independent experts into all "aging" heavy water reactors in the country even and alleged the country's nuclear regulator has failed to ascertain the reason behind the recent "serious" incident at Kakrapar Atomic Power Station in Gujarat.

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.

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.
