    NUCLEAR POWER CORPORATION OF INDIA LTD.

    The Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) is a government-owned


    corporation of India based in Mumbai.
    NPCIL is administered by the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), part of the Ministry
    of Science and Technology.
    NPCIL was created in September 1987 as public limited company under the
    Companies Act 1956, "with the objective of undertaking the design, construction,
    operation and maintenance of the atomic power stations for generation of electricity in
    pursuance of the schemes and programmes of the Government of India under the
    provision of the Atomic Energy Act 1962." All nuclear power plants operated by the
    company are certified for ISO-14001 (Environment Management System).
    NPCIL is responsible for design, construction, commissioning and operation of nuclear
    power reactors. Atomic Energy Act, 1962. NPCIL has also equity participation in
    BHAVINI, an organization formed for implementation for Fast Breeder Reactors
    programme in the country.

    ENERGY REQUIRMENT

    Electrical energy is the basic need for


    development of every Country.
    Unavailability of energy leads to: a. Poverty b.
    Poor Health c. Reduced educational attainment

    Key Issues of NPCIL

    A) India faces many acute challenges of energy development, which has caused the countrys
    leaders to consider Indias indigenous energy sources and how it can increase energy supply to
    better meet the exponentially expanding energy demand.
    B) Given this demand, India has chosen to pursue nuclear energy as a source of energy, and
    is planning a rapid expansion of the nuclear power sector in the coming decades.
    C) Green scenarios (solar, nuclear, or a combination) should be considered.
    D) Development deficits and lack of sufficient energy are also issues that can create their own
    security problems over time.
    E) India has chosen to develop a closed fuel cycle because of its limited domestic sources of
    uranium.

    Regulatory issues

    In the United States, the complaint of the


    nuclear industry is that the process for the
    approval of new reactor designs is laborious,
    expensive, and sometimes done with criteria
    that reflects older knowledge than the latest
    developments in the industry.
    In India, the hurdles start sooner in that the
    Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) is not
    a body independent of the chain of command of
    those it regulates.

    Legal issues

    There is a small legal problem (for the tie-up


    between NTPC and Nuclear Power Corporation
    of India). Under the Atomic Energy Act,
    activities in the nuclear field are exclusively
    limited to the Government of India and PSUs
    owned by the GOI.

    Recommendation

    The first stage of commercially successful nuclear power programme


    has indicated that country has command on the technology through
    its own R&D base built since the beginning of establishing
    Department of Atomic Energy. On this strength it could withstand the
    technology denial regime for years. The second stage (Fast Breeder
    Reactor) programme has been initiated. Given the scientific and
    technological capability demonstrated so far, the technology required
    for optimizing the second stage programme and launching the third
    stage programme can be developed to assure long term energy
    security at the desired capacity.
