The Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project is India's first 1000MW nuclear power project. It consists of 2 units of 1000MW each that are being constructed with engineering and material support from Russia. The project involves Indian companies for civil works and commissioning. It uses a pressurized water reactor design with a rated thermal power of 3012MWt and will generate electricity through 2 generators each with a capacity of 1000MWe. The plant is designed to operate safely for 40 years.
