Kudankulam

Kudankulam



The Unit I of the controversial Kudankulam atomic power reactor in , Tirunelveli District,Tamil Nadu will become operational by April 2013. 

The atomic power plant has been opposed by villagers in and around Kudankulam who are protesting  against the commissioning of the project. The protests got intensified after the Fukushima disaster in Japan last year.

Unit 1 and Unit 2 are 1000 Mw capacity, built with Russian collaboration. On completion , two will produce 2 GW of power and will become largest nuclear power generation complex.Four more reactors are to be added later on.
