Narora Atomic Power Station (NAPS) is a nuclear power plant located in Narora, Dibai Tehsil, Bulandshahar District in Uttar Pradesh, India.
The plant houses two reactors, each a pressurized heavy-water reactor (PHWR) capable of producing 220 MW of electricity. Commercial operation of NAPS-1 began on 1 January 1991, NAPS-2 on 1 July 1992.[2]
The reactors were not originally under IAEA safeguards.[3] but subsequent to the signing of the 1-2-3 agreement, they have been placed under IAEA monitoring[4] with effect from 2014.[5]
