 Kudankulam nuclear power plant

Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant is a Nuclear Power station under construction in Koodankulam in the Tirunelveli district of the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Construction has been delayed due to anti-nuclear protests by the locals and People's Movement Against Nuclear Energy. As a prelude to the commissioning of the first unit of the plant having the capacity of generating 1000 MW, Engineers started its pre-service inspection on 30 June 2012 which is likely to take 10–12 days. Recently, Atomic Energy Regulatory Board's inspection of the reactor pressure vessel of Unit-1 was completed and no defects therein were found.
