New delhi . The second unit of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KNPP) in Tamil Nadu has attained its generation capacity of 1,000 MWe and will soon start commercial power generation.
The unit is India’s 22nd nuclear power reactor and among the largest in the country. “With the nuclear reactor attaining generation capacity India’s nuclear-power generation has now risen to 6,780 MWe,” said R.S. Sundar, site director, KNPP, on Republic Day in Chettikulam village.
