SHILLONG: The Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL) would form a technical committee to study the feasibility of setting up the country's 18th nuclear reactor in Meghalaya.

"The possibility of setting up the reactor would be known only after the committee submits its report,'' Uranium Corporation of India Ltd Executive Director AC Kundu said here on Thursday.

Earlier, Meghalaya Chief Minister Donkupar Roy had asked Union Minister of State for Power Jairam Ramesh whether the setting up of a nuclear reactor in West Khasi Hills district could become a possibility.

The Head of the Public Awareness Division of the Atomic Energy Department, Mr S K Malhotra, said the total quantum of power generated in the 17 nuclear reactors in the country was 4,120 MW. - PTI
