Nuclear Power Programme
• Three stage nuclear power programme
• PHWRs in the first stage
Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors
• Evolved through plant sizes of 220, 540 to the present
700 MWe
• Matured indigenous technology with impeccable
safety record
• Standardised plant size of 700 MWe
• Standard plant design
• Exploring single or two standard seismic designs
• Use of Integrated Engineering Environment tools for
engineering
• Project implementation through Mega ePC packages
• Target construction period of 5 years
FOR 2012-13 A.F = 90.43 %
Continuous Run (more than a year)
RAPS 5 - 400 days (continuing)

Light Water Reactors
• LWRs, as additionalities, being implemented
through international collaboration.
• Business model formulated for optimisation of
cost and for meeting design & safety
requirements.
Strategies
• Public outreach programs
• CSR activities
• Early Site selection and commencement of
Pre-project activities
• Design standardisation
• Supply chain support
• Project implementation
Support from Industry
• Indian industry has developed capability to
supply NPP equipment & components
• The rapid expansion programme will require
industry support for maintaining supply chain
for high quality equipment, meeting project
schedules.
Conclusion
• NPCIL is poised for the rapid expansion
programme
• Synergy between NPCIL and Indian industry is
a key element to meet the programme
• The programme can be realised in a national
mission mode with the support of all
stakeholders
