Kudankulam Atomic Power Project

New, more advanced and safe fuel will be reloaded into the two running reactors of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project or KNPP and also into the subsequent units being built in Tamil Nadu with the technical assistance of the Russian national atomic power corporation Rosatom, according to a senior company official.

The first 1,000 MW atomic power unit at the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KNPP) restarted generation after completion of refuelling today, said an official.

The second 1,000 MW atomic power unit at the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KNPP) that suffered an outage on Monday due to a problem in its steam dump valve is expected to start operations on Friday, said a senior official of Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL).

The Russian-built Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KNPP) in Tamil Nadu could, in the near future, be operating on the newer generation TVS-2M fuel assembly, which offers increased uranium capacity, improved heat reliability and enhanced operational safety, a senior Russian official has said.

The second unit of Kudankulam atomic power project in Tamil Nadu is expected to go critical on Sunday, SK Sharma, Chairman and Managing Director of Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL), said on Saturday.

India's atomic power company Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL) is likely to restart its first 1,000 MW unit at Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KNPP) only in December this year, said a source.

The second 1,000 MWe unit of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant is likely to undergo hot run test from tomorrow during which steam would be released into atmosphere and noise level would go up, a top official today said, asking local public not to be concerned about it.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has favoured broadening of the strategic partnership with Russia in nuclear, defence and energy sectors and invited President Vladimir Putin to visit Kudankulam atomic power project during his trip in December for his annual summit.

The Election Commission has given clearance to the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) to sign an agreement with its Russian counterpart for unit 3 and 4 of Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant project (KKNPP) and a deal is expected to be signed soon.

The first unit of Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KNPP) stopped operations last night due to a feed water problem, a report said today.

The first unit of Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KNPP) generated 165 MW at an average yesterday, states a Power System Operation Corporation Ltd report.

India's atomic power plants operator Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) now hopes the first 1,000 MW unit at Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KNPP) will start commercial operations next month.

With the atomic energy regulator's clearance to gradually increase power generation levels to 500 Megawatt at the first unit of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KNPP) in Tamil Nadu, the Nuclear Power Corp of India (NPCIL) hopes to connect the plant to the grid this month end, said officials.

The first unit of Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant, which attained criticality on July 3 will reach its maximum capacity of 1000 MWe by November end, according to S Sundar, project site director.
