Narora Atomic Power Station (NAPS) is a nuclear power plant located in Narora, Bulandshahar District in Uttar Pradesh, India.
Reactors
The plant houses two reactors, each a pressurized heavy-water reactor (PHWR) capable of producing 220 MW of electricity. Commercial operation of NAPS-1 began on 1 January 1991, NAPS-2 on 1 July 1992.[2]
The reactors were not originally under IAEA safeguards.[3] but subsequent to the signing of the 1-2-3 agreement, they have been placed under IAEA monitoring [4] with effect from 2014 [5]
Units
| Unit | Type | Gross MW | Construction start | Operation start | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phase I | |||||
| Narora 1 | IPHWR-220 | 220 | 1 December 1976 | 1 January 1991 | [6] |
| Narora 2 | IPHWR-220 | 220 | 1 November 1977 | 1 July 1992 | [7] |
Incidents
31 May 1993 after 28 months of operation two steam turbine blades in NAPS-1 malfunctioned causing a major fire. This in combination with problems in the reactor's cabling system nearly lead to a nuclear meltdown.[3]
