India's largest nuclear reactor at Kudankulam started generating electricity on a commercial basis from Wednesday Dec 31,2014
Reportedly, the1000 MW reactor made with Russian assistance is generating electricity only on experimental basis after its turbine suffered damage a few months ago.
Though the unit has been running at full capacity of 1,000 MW since last ten days, the commercial operation would get KNPP better tariff from the grid, KNPP Station Director R S Sundar said.
In July last year, the first unit attained criticality and has been generating power and connected to the southern grid.
