Russia today said the reactors at the Kudankulam Nuclear Plant are the "best" in the world and expressed the hope that the plant would start generating power soon. Russian Ambassador to India Alexander M Kadakin said once the Kudankulam Plant starts generating electricity, it would help reduce the energy deficit in southern parts of the country.


The first plant is expected to generate 2,000 MW of electricity out of which 1,000 MW will be given to Tamil Nadu, where the plant is located. The state is facing acute power shortage for the past one year. 

 

"We are glad that the work has resumed and it would be ready (in sometime). We want this to function and to give much needed electricity to the South," Kadakin told PTI on the sidelines of a private function.
