India prepares to build its largest nuclear reactor

Will also be India’s first light-water nuclear reactor.

Scientists have designed India's first 900 MW light-water nuclear reactor.. The conceptual design of the pressurized water reactor has already been prepared.

It construction will be a joint effort between the Bhabha Atomic Research Center in Mumbai and the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd. Construction work on the new reactor is expected to begin in five years.

A new enriched uranium plant to feed the reactor has been proposed. Unlike previous reactors that use heavy water as coolant and moderator, the new one will use light water.

Over the next 10 years, the NPCIL intends to set up 16 more 700 MW indigenous reactors
