Indian nuclear power programme
Description
Integrated energy policy of India considers the role of nuclear power as vital for long term energy security and sustainable development of the country. To increase the nuclear power capacity in the country, India pursues development and deployment of nuclear power plants through indigenous technologies as well as import of reactors from abroad. Presently, there are 20 NPP units in operation with an installed capacity of 4780 MWe. Seven more units with a capacity of 5300 MWe are under construction/commissioning. In addition, a number of new NPPs are planned to significantly increase the nuclear power base from the current levels. The paper discusses the Indian nuclear power programme in general
