    India’s first Atomic Power Station at kalpakkam, Tamilnadu completes 25 years today

    India's First nuclear atomic power station: kalpakkam at Tamilnadu

    India's First nuclear atomic power station: kalpakkam at Tamilnadu

    The country’s first indigenously built nuclear power reactor Madras Atomic Power Station Unit-1 (MAPS-1), located at Kalpakkam in Tamil Nadu  will complete 25 years today. MAPS was Synchronised to the grid in the presence of late prime minister Indira Gandhi on July 23, 1983. MAPS comprises two units of 220 MW each of pressurised heavy water reactors (PHWR). MAPS-1 was set up at a cost of Rs 2.4 billion ($57 million).

    MAPS has supplied more than 45,000 million units (MUs) of electricity at a current tariff of Rs 1.89 per unit and earned a profit of Rs 11.2 billion so far. Tamil Nadu has a share of 330 MW out of the station capacity of 440 MW in addition to the share of other beneficiary states in the southern electricity region.
