Answer 1

Hint: Narora Atomic Power Station is a nuclear power plant located at Narora, Bulandshahr district in Uttar Pradesh, India. The fifth largest source of nuclear power is electricity in India, followed by coal, gas, hydropower and wind power. Nuclear power produced a total of 32TW in 2011 and supplied 3.22% of Indian electricity. More reactors are under construction with a combined generating capacity of 7,300 MW.

Complete answer: Located in the small town of Narora (Uttar Pradesh), Narora Atomic Power Station (NAPS) serves India's northern power grid. This in addition to problems with the PHWR's cable system, caused an almost nuclear meltdown. Although the NAPS was fully rehabilitated after the fire, a second incident in September 1999 killed Unit-2 when an air-locking inner door malfunctioned.

The plant was shut down immediately and Unit-2 was closed for about a month. Although there was also a minor tritium leakage around this time period, by December 1999, the facility was inspected by the Bureau of Indian Standards and its environmental management system was certified. Nuclear power stations in Asia for their efforts in environmental protection And also received a Golden Peacock Award from the World Environment Foundation.

Note: India is making progress in the field of thorium-based fuels, working to design and develop a prototype for a nuclear reactor using thorium and less enriched uranium, a flagship of India's three-phase nuclear power program. The fusion was done in the power sector through the ITER initiative.
