Having successfully completed the scheduled second fuel outage recently, KKNPP's first reactor was synchronised with the Southern Grid at 6.37 am on Tuesday.
After achieving 800 MWe power generation capability within the next 48 hours, the reactor will be stopped for mandatory tests. On getting the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board's nod, power generation in the reactor will be increased to its maximum capacity of 1,000 MWe.
The first reactor was generating 300 MWe when it was synchronised with the grid.
