【Mumbai】India's 10 nuclear reactors with a total generation capacity of 1,940 MW have now put under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards.
This was after the BJP led NDA government last week has ratified the additional protocol, a commitment given under the Indo-US civil nuclear deal by the UPA government to grant greater access to the IAEA to monitor country's civilian atomic programme.
The list of nuclear reactors which have been put under IAEA safeguards include Tarapur, Maharashtra 1 & 2 (320 MW), Rawatbhata, Rajasthan 1 to 6 (1180 MW) and Kakrapar, Gujarat 1&2 (440 MW). These reactors, which are currently operating on imported fuel with plant load factor of 94%, are part of the country's total nuclear installed capacity of 4,780 MW. The remaining reactors with generation capacity of 2,840 MW have not yet been put under the IAEA safeguards. The state run Nuclear Power Corporation (NPC) is currently operating these total 19 reactors with both indigenous and imported fuel.
