Technological Assessment of Select Light Water Reactors to Accelerate Nuclear Power Expansion in India (NIAS/NSE/EECP/R/RR/01/2025)

Large-sized nuclear power plant (NPP) units with a rated capacity of 700 MWe or more are crucial for the civilian nuclear sector since they enable efficient land utilization, and provide economies of scale, facilitating rapid capacity enhancement. However, since commercial nuclear reactors are envisaged to supply clean and affordable baseload power to the utilities, the possible technological options should be evaluated in detail through a multi-disciplinary lens.
