The main construction of the Kudankulam NPP Unit 6 in India was officially launched through the first concreting in the foundation slab of the reactor building on 21 December 2021. In June of this year, the first concrete was laid at the power unit No 5, and on December 20, the first concreting was launched at the power unit No 6.The equipment required for the top-priority installation at Units 5&6 is being supplied now and the construction process is being supported by the working documentation.After the General Framework Agreement for power units 3&4 construction was signed on April 10, 2014, negotiations were started with the Indian Party on the construction of Kudankulam NPP Units 5 and 6, following which an agreement was reached for these units to be built in the same design as the units of the second stage. On June 1, 2017, the Credit Protocol to the Intergovernmental Agreement of December 5, 2008 and the GFA for Kudankulam NPP Units 5&6 were signed as a single batch of documents.Power units No 3, 4 and 5,6 are the second and the third stages of Kudankulam NPP constructed under AES-92 design with VVER-1000 (V-412) reactor type. The technical solutions implemented in Kudankulam design characterize further evolutionary development of VVER-reactor NPPs of high power and transition to creation of a new, reliable, safe and feasible power unit.
