Finish Technology For Jaitapur Nuclear Power Plant
GOVERNMENT OF INDIA
MINISTRY OF ATOMIC ENERGY
QUESTION NO 1249
ANSWERED ON 11.08.2011
Will the Minister of ATOMIC ENERGY be pleased to satate :- (a) whether Government is planning to introduce Finnish technology for Jaitapur Nuclear Power Plant; (b) if so, the details thereof; (c) whether this technology has ever been used in India; and (d) whether Finnish technology would ensure nuclear safety?
ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR PERSONNEL, PUBLIC GRIEVANCES & PENSIONS AND IN THE PRIME MINISTER’S OFFICE (SHRI V. NARAYANASAMY) (a) No, Sir. (b) does not arise. (c) No, Sir. (d) The nuclear power reactors planned to be set up at Jaitapur are not based on Finnish technology but are 1650 MW evolutionary pressurised water reactors (EPRs) developed by Areva, France. The EPR design has been evolved from the several years’ operational feedback of N4 reactors in France and KONVOI reactors in Germany. The first EPR is under construction in Finland. EPRs are also under construction in France and China. The EPRs have not been set up in India earlier. The EPRs are reactors with advanced safety features, which include four independent safety trains housed in independent seismically qualified buildings, a core catcher, passive core cooling provisions which will ensure cooling of the fuel even in the worst case of fuel melt down thus preventing radioactivity releases, and hydrogen re-combiners to prevent hydrogen explosion.
