By Alexandra Zakharova, The Kudankulam nuclear power plant in India will be launched in August, the head of the Russian Nuclear Energy State Corporation Rosatom Sergey Kirienko said. He made this statement while accompanying Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin who is now in India on a working visit. But the NPP’s first unit will start generating electricity only in November-December.The launch of the Kudankulam nuclear power plant in India was postponed for almost one year over protests by local residents. By now the authorities have managed to explain to the population that the country really needs this new NPP in the south of the country in order to avoid an energy crisis in the future. Moreover the halt of the construction cost millions of dollars to the Indian treasury. As of now only one reactor is ready for launch while the second one is operating in a test regime.
