Power generation began on Monday at the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) unit-1, which was shutdown due to turbine problem in September.
Power generation in the first unit has reached 319 MW on Monday against its total capacity of 1,000 MW.Earlier, when commercial operations at KNPP was about to be announced, power production came to an halt at the first atomic power unit due to a technical snag.
The unit has been shut down to inspect turbine and its associated components before putting it for commercial operation.
The power production is expected to reach 800 MW in few days.
KNPP officials also informed that measures are being taken to avoid recurrence of such an event in unit-2, which is presently under commissioning and is also being prepared for the hot run.
Sources said about 90 per cent of the works were completed in unit-2 for starting power production.
