Kaiga atomic plant to go critical by month end

The third unit of the Kaiga nuclear plant in Karnataka is expected to begin generating energy by the end of February but supply of power from it will be delayed, a top official said today.

The 220MW reactor -- the 17th one in the country -- will be "made critical" by the end of February but its "commercialisation" may be delayed by over a month due to the non-arrival of critical turbine components from Ukraine, Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) Chairman and Managing Director S K Jain told PTI here.

Though 99.9 per cent of the required components had arrived, Jain said NPCIL was facing "trans-chart difficulties for the last part of the consignment".

Kaiga's third unit was earlier scheduled to be linked to the southern power grid by March.

The Shipping Corporation of India is trying its best to move the consignment to India as soon as possible but there was some logistic problem as the port in Ukraine is not visited directly by its ships, and SCI would have to depend on other liners.

The turbine components have been loaded but "it is a matter of time and SCI is trying their best to get them to us as soon as possible", Jain said.

Ukraine's industry was selected by NPCIL for supplying the critical equipment through a global tender.

Jain also said the process of rehabilitating unit one of the Narora atomic power plant was complete and that this was the first time that laser cutting and remote control devices were used to replace the coolant channel and feeder pipes.

First concrete poured at unit 4 at Leningrad NPP-2
On March 20, 2025, the first concrete was poured for the foundation of the reactor building at Unit 4 of Leningrad NPP-2. The construction is part of the capacity replacement program at the plant, a subsidiary of Rosenergoatom, Rosatom Electric Power Division.
Representatives from the Belarusian NPP, El Dabaa NPP (Egypt), and Rooppur NPP (Bangladesh) participated in the first concrete ceremony via videoconference. These countries have power units with reference Russian VVER-1200 reactors that they have constructed or are constructing with the support of Rosatom.
During the ceremony, nuclear specialists from partner nations shared updates on their projects in 2024 and extended their best wishes for the successful...
