The Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KKNPP) in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, has delivered 100 billion (kilowatt-hour) units of power to the country's&nbsp;electricity grid.

Units 1 and 2 of the Russian-designed nuclear power generation facility are each of a 1,000 MegaWatt capacity and have been operational for close to a decade.

Four more reactors of the Russian VVER-1000 type are in different stages of construction at the site in Tamil Nadu's Tirunelveli district.&nbsp;

According to Russia's Nuclear power agency Rosatom, units 1 and 2 are operating in routine mode and demonstrating efficiency above the rated values. The operating NPP makes it possible to save emissions of about 16 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent annually, and in 10 years it has improved the quality of life, providing electricity to about 50 million Indian families, Rosatom said.&nbsp;

"Throughout the stages of design and up to operation, all works are conducted in close and comprehensive cooperation between the Indian customer and the Russian contractor. Each party contributed its own expertise to the project, which culminated in a technologically complex and efficient industrial project meeting the most stringent requirements of both quality and process safety,” noted Alexey Zhukov, ASE JSC First Vice President for Construction.

Kudankulam NPP is the southernmost nuclear power plant on the Indian subcontinent, and it already supplies electricity to the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Several advanced technological solutions have been developed specifically for this nuclear power plant, such as a system of hydraulic structures that ensure an uninterrupted supply of cooling sea water and prevent possible environmental impacts.

The Kudankulam NPP Project was implemented as part of the intergovernmental agreement on cooperation in the area of NPP construction in India which&nbsp;concluded in the year 1998.

Power Unit 1 was connected to the Indian national grid in 2013. On December 31, 2014, the power unit was put into commercial operation, and on August 10, 2016, it was officially put into operation. Currently, it is the most powerful unit in India that meets the up-to-date safety requirements.

On August 29, 2016, Power Unit 2 was connected to the Indian national electric grid, and at the end of March 2017, it was put into warranty operation.

The export of civilian-use nuclear technology is a key component of Russia's economic policy. India is the largest customer of Russia's nuclear power agency Rosatom. Despite external restrictions, the Russian economy is augmenting its export potential to supply goods, services and raw materials all over the world.
