Places of Interest
Rajasthan Atomic Power Station
The Rajasthan Atomic Power Station is located at Rawatbhata. it currently has six pressurised heavy water reactor (PHWR) units
operating with a total installed capacity of 1,180MW.The Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL), the operator of the plant,
 is increasing the existing capacity by constructing two more reactors
known as Units 7 and 8. (2×700MW=1400MW)
Rajasthan Atomic Power Station (RAPS 1) (100 MWe) PHWR completely defueled and maintained under dry preservation
Rajasthan Atomic Power Station (RAPS 2) (200 MWe) under operation
Rajasthan Atomic Power Station (RAPS 3 & 4) (2 x 220 MWe PHWR)
Rajasthan Atomic Power Station (RAPS 5 & 6) (2 x 220 MWe PHWR)
Rajasthan Atomic Power Project (RAPP 7 & 8) (2 x 700 MWe PHWR)
Heavy Water Plant
Owned and operated by the Department of Atomic Energy's (DAE) Heavy Water Board (HWB), the heavy water plant is integrated with the Rajasthan atomic power station for its
supply of power and steam. An oil-fired steam generation plant was also added to ensure uninterrupted supply of steam during the shutdown periods. Canada began construction
 on the plant but ceased cooperation on the project after India's May 1974 test of a nuclear device. The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) then completed designing the
plant, which was originally expected to start operations in 1976. Problems associated with the accumulation of toxic chemicals created during the production of hydrogen
sulphide gas, however, delayed commissioning until April 1985.
These problems resulted in a cost escalation from 1.94 billion rupees to at least Rs. 7.2 billion rupees.
Inadequate and unreliable supplies of power and steam from the RAPS reactors also plagued the plant and contributed to its low output. The two oil-fired boilers of the s
team generation plant were added to alleviate the power supply problem. The heavy water plant uses the hydrogen sulphide water exchange process to produce up to 100mt of
heavy water per year.
