Nuclear Power Generation in India

Nuclear power is the fourth largest source of electricity in India after thermal, hydroelectric and renewable sources of electricity. As of 2013, India has 21 nuclear reactors in operation in 7 nuclear power plants, having an installed capacity of 5780 megawatts and producing a total of 30,292.91 gigawatts of electricity while seven other reactors are under construction and are expected to generate an additional 6,100 megawatts. There are 6 power plants in construction and 10 are already in pipeline, India now envisages to increase the contribution of nuclear power to overall electricity generation capacity from 2.8% to 9% within 25 years. By 2020, India's installed nuclear power generation capacity will increase to 20,000 megawatts.

The Indian nuclear power industry is expected to undergo a significant expansion in the coming years, in part due to the passing of the U.S.-India Civil Nuclear Agreement. This agreement will allow India to carry out trade of nuclear fuel and technologies with other countries and significantly enhance its power generation capacity. India has a flourishing and largely indigenous nuclear power program and expects to generate a lot of employment opportunities in this field,including job vacanciesfor Nuclear Plant Control Operator.
