The Chutka Nuclear Power Plant is a proposed nuclear power plant to be built on a Template:Convert area, near Chutka Village of Mandla district of Madhya Pradesh.[1][2] The site is near Kanha National Park, one of the tiger reserves of India and the largest national park of Madhya Pradesh state in India.
The project will have an installed capacity of 1400 megawatts (MW).
History
After the government allotted Template:Convert of land for the project, the Chutka, Tatighat, Kunda, Bhaliwara and Patha villagers decided to start an indefinite agitation from 25 October 2015. Most of them were displaced by the Bargi Dam in 1984. Meanwhile, within the Template:Convert of the site, a survey was completed in the Template:Convert area, which is almost 60% covered with water, the remaining barren land and a small area of cultivated land with poor soil conditions. The survey was started in December 2012.[3]
Design and specification
The proposed 700 MW IPHWR-700 reactors are indigenous and similar to the ones currently under construction in Kakrapar Atomic Power Station (KAPP-3 &4) and Rajasthan Atomic Power Station (RAPP-7 & 8).
Cost and economics
The plant will be built by the Nuclear Power Corporation of India, at an estimated of cost Template:INRConvert. The project is a part of the fleet mode reactor program of the Government of India under which 10 indigenous IPHWR-700 reactors are being built. The construction will start in 2025 and is planned to be competed within 6-7 year.[4][5]
