Reactor fuel loading begins at KNPP's second unit

The work of loading reactor fuel into the second unit of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) began early today, a top official said.
The fuel loading work would be completed in a week and the 1000 mw second unit would begin power generation after obtaining requisite permission from the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board, Plant Director R C Sundar told PTI.
KNPP started commercial operations on December 31, 2014 and the first unit generates 1000 mw of power.
