The Supreme Court (SC) has given the nod to commissioning of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant in Tamil Nadu.
The project initially ran into rough weather with massive protests by the locals and activists. The SC gave 15 guidelines on commissioning, safety and security, and environmental issues concerning the plant. Earlier, the Madras High Court also gave the order in favour of the plant.
Work on 2,000 MW capacity of the plant is nearing completion. While Unit I of 1,000 MW of project is expected to be commissioned by June 2013, and Unit II of another 1,000 MW by August 2013.
