Sustainable Progress In Nuclear Energy January 23, 2021, 12:12 AM IST Quick takes, analyses and macro-level views on all contemporary economic, financial and political events. The recent grid synchronisation of the third unit at Kakrapar Atomic Power Project (KAPP), near Surat in Gujarat, is notable indeed. The 700 MW unit is now our largest-capacity nuclear reactor, and the first of at least 16 units planned to balance the grid as we duly rev up green renewable power generation, intermittent and variable in nature. The nuclear route provides clean, stable, baseload power, and is an important element of our energy policy and climate strategy. The latest unit incorporates the indigenously developed pressurised heavy-water reactor (PHWR) technology, designed for use of natural uranium and avoid fuel enrichment.
