Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor [PHWR] - Indigenous Indian Design

[Kyusuibu Honbu]

I thought we were discussing PHWR

Currently PHWR plant designs exist in 3 power ratings - 220, 540 & 700 MWe. While the 220 & 540-rated reactors have been in operation for many years [the 1st 540 MWe design began operation in 2005], work on setting up the larger 700 MWe plant continues at the sites of Kakrapar & Rajasthan power-plants. They are expected to start electricity generation in 2015 [Rajasthan, 2016].

Reality check

The issue is NOT if India cant build them, but whether India can build them in the time it needs them.
