Jaitapur Nuclear Power Project
Jaitapur Nuclear Power Project is a proposed nuclear power plant in India.
If built, it would be the largest nuclear power generating station in the world by net generation capacity, at 9,900 MW.
The power project is proposed by Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) and would be built at Madban village of Ratnagiri district in Maharashtra.

The EPR is a Generation III+ pressurised water reactor design. It has been designed and developed mainly by Framatome and Électricité de France (EDF) in France, and by Siemens in Germany. In Europe this reactor design was called European Pressurised Reactor, and the internationalised name was Evolutionary Power Reactor, but is now simply named EPR.
