Kakrapar Nuclear Plant

At least 10 nuclear reactors are being installed in the country while two reactors in Gujarat's Kakrapar have started generating power commercially, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science and Technology was informed on Monday.

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.

India's first indigenously developed 700 MW nuclear power plant in Gujarat's Kakrapar has started operations at full capacity, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday.

Construction of Nuclear Power Corp of India Ltd's (NPCIL) Kakrapara plant's fourth unit, scheduled to start commercial generation this year, has not been completed and is running more than a year late, a government memo showed.

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.

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.

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.

A shocking case of nuclear operating negligence has come to light in Gujarat. Four contract workers at the Kakrapar atomic reactor near Surat were exposed to almost six times the annual permissible levels of radiation.
