Tarapur Atomic Power Station
Palghar district, India
The 610th largest power station in the world
Tarapur Atomic Power Station (T.A.P.S) is located in Tarapur, Palghar, India. It was the first commercial nuclear power station built in India. It is the fourth largest nuclear power plants in the country. It has 4 reactors, 2 BWR-1 of 160 MWe each and 2 IPHWRs of 540 MWe each. The atomic power station has experienced several safety incidents, including radioactive leaks and a major fire, with official documents that "clearly indicate the preponderance of safety concerns even during the days of active Indo-U.S. cooperation with the Tarapur Atomic Power Station project". The upgrades and life extension work done on Units 1 and 2 is expected to improve safety and effeciency. The primary recirculation system piping has also been replaced with corrosion resistant piping, extending the operational life of the reactors by at least 10 years.
