From The Hindu:
The third unit of the Tarapur Atomic Power Project (TAPP-3), which will increase the country's nuclear power generation by one-sixth, is expected to be "declared commercial" six months ahead of schedule, said official sources. The 540 mega-watt electrical (MWe) unit was synchronised with the grid earlier this month. The time taken between criticality and synchronisation was one-fourth of that taken by its predecessor, Unit-4, which has given nuclear scientists the confidence of compressing the time schedule for generating commercial power from TAPP-3.Technorati tags: Nuclear Energy, Nuclear Power, Energy, Technology, Environment, Electricity, India
