New Delhi, November 17 (Punjab Post Bureau)- The present installed nuclear power capacity in the country in commercial operation is 5780 MW.\u00a0 With the synchronisation of Kudankulam Unit-2 (KKNPP-2 1000 MW) to the grid in August 2016, an additional capacity of 1000 MW has been added. The unit is presently generating infirm power (non-commercial), and expected to commence commercial operation by the end of this year, which will enhance the present installed nuclear power capacity of 5780 MW to 6780 MW.\u00a0 Further, Bharatiya Nabhikiya Vidyut Nigam Limited (BHAVINI), a Public Sector Undertaking of Department of Atomic Energy, is constructing a Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) of 500 MW capacity at Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu, which is at an advanced stage of commissioning.<\/p>\n

The Units-3&4 of \u00a0Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KKNPP 3&4 – 2X1000 MW) were launched recently on October 15, 2016, when the foundation concrete was placed. These units, KKNPP- 3 and 4 will add a capacity of 1000 MW each on their progressive completion expected in the financial year 2023-24.<\/p>\n

The generation from nuclear power during the XII Plan period (2012 – 17) is expected to be about 180 Billion Units of electricity.<\/p>\n

The nuclear power capacity plant-wise for all the operating nuclear power plants in the country is as below:<\/p>\n
