NPCI is building two 700MW pressurised heavy water reactors (PHWR), including Units 3 and 4 at Kakrapar, where there are two 220MW power plants. Officials say that in July, the fourth unit recorded 97.56% progress.

Wonder why they’re building these instead of thermal coal plants

    Fusion reactors might be hundreds of years away, if they are possible at all.

    But nuclear power is perfect for bridging such long times. This unit took 16 years from planning to full operation. So we won’t be done soon, if we go this route.
