Correct Answer - Option 3 : 4

The correct answer is 4.

  • Kaiga Atomic Power Station (KAPS) is operated by the state-run Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL).
  • Kaiga Site is located on Kadra Reservoir on Kali river in Uttar Kannada district in the state of Karnataka.
  • The plant services India's southern grid and provides power to five states (Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Pondicherry).
  •  It consists of two Stations-
    • Kaiga Generating Station (KGS) 1 & 2 – Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (2 x 220 MWe PHWR)
    • Kaiga Generating Station (KGS) 3 & 4 – Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (2 x 220 MWe PHWR)
  • Hence Kaiga has four indigenously developed Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors of 220 MW each fuelled by domestic fuel.
  • The first unit of the project, meanwhile, set a world record on December 10, 2018, operating uninterrupted for more than 940 days held by Heysham-Unit 2 of the United Kingdom, and in 2019 it has set a new benchmark of 962 days of uninterrupted operation and has now been shut down for maintenance.
