Damage to Kundandulam Nuclear Power Project

Damage to Kundandulam Nuclear Power Project-:There is serious concern about the damage to the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project .Recently there have been protests against the starting of Kudankulam nuclear power project by sections of the local people which have hampered normal work at the site. Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plants (KKNPP) Units 1&2 are at advanced stage of commissioning. Serveral reactor and auxiliary systems have been made functional. These systems, which also include sophisticated computer based systems, require certain minimum maintenance to keep them in a healthy state. Efforts are underway, in consultation with the district authorities, to ensure that personnel required for carrying out the minimum maintenance activities are able to go to plant and carry out the necessary activities smoothly.

The Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s office Sh V Narayanasamy gave this information in a written reply to a question by Shri Baishnab Parida in Lok Sabha today.
