The first reactor of India’s Kudankulam nuclear power plant is ready for fuel loading after a successful safety test, a source in Russia’s Rosatom Nuclear Energy State Corporation has told reporters.
All safety systems operated without a hitch during a test emergency, the source said.
The start-up of Kundankulam’s Rosatom-built first power unit was scheduled for last December, but had to be postponed over protests by local environmentalists.
Work resumed after the protesters were persuaded that the plant was safe and reliable. Rosatom is building seismic-resistant nuclear power stations in many other countries.
