Important considerations in site selection of nuclear power plants (NPP) are topography, accessibility, infrastructure, construction facilities, township for staff, availability of power supply, transmission lines and cooling water along with other important safety aspects related to geology, seismology and meteorologi …

Kovvada Atomic Power Project is a proposed 6,600 MW nuclear power station in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. The project is planned over an area of 2067 acres.

Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KNPP) is located in the Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu, India.

As of November 2020, India has 23 nuclear reactors in operation in 7 nuclear power plants, with a total installed capacity of 7,480 MW….List of nuclear power plants.

From a regulatory point of view placing the nuclear power plant in the middle is better in consideration of the population center south-west of the site as well as the transient population on the east of the site. Thus case two which places the plant in the middle is the best choice.

The selection of the site for a power plant depends upon many factors such as cost of transmission of energy, cost of fuel, cost of land and taxes, requirement of space, availability of site for water power, storage space for fuel, transport facilities, availability of cooling water, nature of load, degree of …

There are presently 22 reactors with a total capacity of 6780 MW in operation and one reactor, KAPP-3 (700 MW) has been connected to the grid on January 10, 2021. In addition, there are 8 reactors (including 500 MW PFBR being implemented by BHAVINI) totaling to 6000 MW under construction at various stages.

Construction is by NPCIL and Atomstroyexport. When completed the plant will become the largest nuclear power generation complex in India producing a cumulative 2 GW of electric power. Both units are water-cooled, water-moderated power reactors.
