About: Rajasthan Power Project (RAPP) has two reactors with a CANDU (Canada Deuterium Uranium) and pressurised heavy water reactor (PHWR) capable of producing 220 MW of electricity. In November 2012, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) intensively audited over several weeks two reactors at the Rajasthan Atomic Power Station for safety. It has been concluded that the reactors are among the best in the world, and the indigenously made 220 MW atomic plants can withstand a Fukushima-type accident, even suggesting that the “safety culture is strong in India” and that India emerged a winner with a high global safety rank.
