## NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS

The  fund  requirement  for  the  next  five  years  for  the  projects  under construction and new projects sanctioned are as follows:

| Rs.in Crore               | Rs.in Crore   | Rs.in Crore   | Rs.in Crore   | Rs.in Crore   | Rs.in Crore   |
|---------------------------|---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------|
| Year                      | 2018-19       | 2019-20       | 2020-21       | 2021-22       | 2022-23       |
| Total Capital Expenditure | 7605          | 17028         | 21722         | 28745         | 35725         |

The approximate requirements of atomic fuel/uranium for Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs) are as follows:

|   Unit Capacity (MW) |   Annual requirement at 85% Capacity Factor (tons UO 2 ) |
|----------------------|----------------------------------------------------------|
