BHEL Can Meet Requirement for Supply of Reactors : Praful Patel

Minister of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises Shri Praful Patel said that Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) can meet the requirement of the country of reactors for the atomic power projects being developed by Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL) with indigenous reactor technology.

BHEL has manufactured and supplied certain Nuclear Reactor components like Steam Generators, Reactor Headers, end shields to NPCIL for their 220 MWe and 540 MWe reactors based on Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR) Technology.
BHEL can consider supplying reactors for Atomic Power projects based on indigenous reactor technology if NPCIL gives complete technical know-how since the indigenous reactor technology is developed by NPCIL.

NPCIL has developed designs for indigenous reactors for their 220 MWe, 540 MWe and 700 MWe ratings Nuclear Power Pants based on Pressurized Heavy water Reactor (PHWR) technology. As per NPCIL Programme, around 20 Units of 700 MWe have been planned, out of which 4 units are under construction. BHEL is supplying Steam Generators for 2 units and Reactor Header assembly for 4 units.
