Can Nuclear Power Meet the Challenge U C Muktibodh Executive Director (Engg.) NPCIL 6thNuclear Energy Conclave, New Delhi 14 Oct. 2014
Present Status of Nuclear Power CUMULATIVE CAPACITY(MW) CAPACITY (MW) REACTOR TYPE AND CAPACITY • 20 reactors (18 PHWRs+2BWR) 4,780 4,780 • PHWR Projects under construction 4,200 8,980 • KAPP-3&4 (2x700 MW) • RAPP-7&8 (2x700 MW) • GHAVP-1&2 (2x700 MW) • PWR projects under advanced stage of 2,00010,980 completion : KK-1&2 (2x1000 MW) • PWR projects under Construction 2,000 12,980 KK-3&4 (2x1000 MW) • PFBR under construction at 500 13,480 Kalpakkam(1 X 500 MW)
Nuclear Capacity - Planned • 2 x 700 MW PHWR : Chutka, MP • 2 x 700 MW PHWR : Kaiga, Karnataka • 4 x 700 MW PHWR : Mahi-Banswara, Rajasthan • 2 x 700 MW PHWR : Gorakhpur, Haryana (Additional Units) • 4 x 700 MW PHWR : Bhimpur, MP • 2 x 1000 MW LWR : Kudankulam, TN (Additional Units) • 6 x 1650 MW LWR : Jaitapur, Maharashtra • 6 x 1500 MW LWR : Kovvada, AP • 6 x 1100 MW LWR : MithiVirdi,Gujarat • 6 x 1000 MW LWR : Haripur, WB • 2 X 500 MW FBR : Kalpakkam, TN • 1 X 300 AHWR : Site being identified
Implementation of this large capacity build-up requires equity support from the Government
PHWR Programme • Standardised design of 700 MWe plant having enhanced safety features, including post-Fukushima upgrades • Seismic designs for rock sites and soil sites • Plant detailed engineering in digitised form
Stages in Nuclear Power Project Implementation CRITICALITY Power Operation Engineering Pre-project Activities Financial Sanction In-principle approval Procurement Construction & Commissioning 4 to 6 Years 1 to 2 Years 6 To 7 Years 11 To 15 Years • Land Acquisition • MoEF Clearance • Geological & Seismo-tectonic studies • Siting Clearance • Site-specific seismic parameters • Supply of Major Equipment
What needs to be done… • Reduce time for pre-project activities • Encourage and support the National Institutes to carry out geological & seismo-tectonic studies in a time bound manner • Expeditious land acquisition – Government support • Policy decision on advance procurement of long-delivery equipment for the projects approved in-principle • Financial support from Government The programme needs to be implemented in a National mission mode.
