>Recently, India's Supreme Court delivered its judgment in favor of setting nuclear power reactors at Kudankulam, India. This judgment covered several appeal petitions filed against the judgments of High Courts.The judgment offered a shot in the arm of India's government owned nuclear power  corporation. Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant will have six NPPS of  VVER type of 1000MWe each. The construction of two reactors are complete. Commissioning of the first unit is progressing well and is expected to go critical soon.
