Russian state-owned corporation Rosatom has completed the delivery of the first batch of fuel for Unit 3 of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant, which is being built in India with Russian participation.
“The Fuel Division of Rosatom has completed the delivery of nuclear fuel for the initial core loading of the VVER-1000 reactor at Power Unit 3 of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant, which Rosatom is constructing in the state of Tamil Nadu in southern India,” the company said in a statement.
The fuel was manufactured by the Novosibirsk Chemical Concentrates Plant, an enterprise of Rosatom’s Fuel Division.

“The units of the second stage of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant will be the first VVER-1000 power units in history to be commissioned immediately with an 18-month fuel cycle. This is the result of successful cooperation in recent years between Rosatom’s Fuel Division and Indian partners, during which effective solutions were tested at the plant’s two operating units and had previously also been implemented at similar power units in Russia and China,” the statement noted.
