Russia ships equipment for Kudankulam n-plant units 1,2,3
Mumbai, July 20 : Three sets of equipment for the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KNPP) in Tamil Nadu have been shipped to India, KNPP's Russian state-run equipment suppliers and technical consultants Rosatom said on Friday.
The equipment, shipped out by Atomenergomash, the machine-building division of Rosatom, includes moisture separator-reheaters and high pressure heaters for KNPP unit 3, as well as spare parts for the scheduled maintenance of reactor coolant pumps at the already commissioned units 1 and 2, a Rosatom South Asia statement said here.
Three sets of moisture separator-reheaters for the power hall of the third unit have been shipped to India. These are designed for drying and reheating of moist steam and the equipment is included in support systems assuring turbine unit functioning, Rosatom said.
Two high pressure heaters for the turbine hall of the third unit of KNPP have also been shipped.
"The welded vertical apparatus is intended to feed water heating through condensation of steam," the statement said.
"The total weight of the equipment for KNPP unit 3 is more than 1,000 tonnes. In total, there will be eight sets of moisture separator-reheaters and high pressure heaters."
Besides, spare parts shipped for the reactor coolant pumps of the functioning units 1 and 2 include bearings, thrust rings and electromagnets. These are used to pump water around the primary circuit to remove the heat generated in the reactor core, the statement added.
The Kudankulam project envisages the construction of six reactors of 1,000 MW capacity each, the first two of which have already been commissioned. Four other units are in various stages of implementation or planning.

Two more Hindu priests arrested in Bangladesh: ISKCON Kolkata
Kolkata, Nov 30: Two more Hindu priests were arrested in Bangladesh, ISKCON Kolkata spokesperson Radharamn Das claimed on Saturday.
Speaking to PTI, Radharamn said, "I have received information that two more ISKCON monks have been arrested by police in Bangladesh."
In a post on X on Friday night, Radharamn said, "In the meantime, bad news has come: two devotees who went with prasad for Chinmaya Prabhu were arrested on their way back to the temple, and Chinmaya prabhu's secretary is also missing. Please pray for them."
Earlier on Friday, Radharamn had posted, "Another Brahmachari, Sri Shyam Das Prabhu, was arrested by Chattogram Police today."
"Does he look like a terrorist? #FreeISKCONMonks Bangladesh. The arrest of innocent #ISKCON brahmacharis are deeply shocking & disturbing," Radharamn posted on X on Saturday. His comments comes comes in the backdrop of unconfirmed reports of arrest of three more ISKCON monks, days after the arrest of spiritual leader Chinmay Das.
Chinmay Das, who also served as a spokesperson for Bangladesh Sammilita Sanatani Jagran Jote, was arrested at Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Monday while en route to Chattogram to attend a rally. He was denied bail and sent to jail on Tuesday by the Chattogram Sixth Metropolitan Magistrate Court.
Historically, Hindus made up approximately 22 per cent of Bangladesh's population during the 1971 Liberation War.
The Hindu population, once a substantial demographic in Bangladesh, has experienced a significant decline in recent decades, with the minority community now comprising only around 8 per cent of the country's total population.
This drop is largely attributed to a combination of socio-political marginalisation, exodus and sporadic violence over the years.
