Union Minister of State for Prime Minister’s Office V Narayanasamy on Sunday denied reports that appeared in a section of the media suggesting that Unit-I of the Koodankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KKNPP) could be commissioned during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit next month. “I have no knowledge about Putin’s visit for the inauguration of the plant,” he told reporters here.
Narayanasamy also denied reports that he had urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to give the entire 1,000 MW output from KKNPP’s Unit-I to Tamil Nadu. He said the power produced would be shared as per an agreement between Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Karnataka and Kerala.
He expressed the hope that Unit-I would be commissioned by December 15.
After loading of nuclear fuel in October, experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IEAC) and the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (IERB) had inspected Unit-I and its trial run was is progress, he said.
Besides, 95 per cent of work on KKNPP’s Unit-II has been completed and it is expected to be operational in three to four months, he added.

Here too the events around the project are a result of NGO organized stirs, which has necessitated the government to look into and scrutinize the funding of all NGO's that receive funds from abroad. The riots in Russia too were organized by the Pentagon-CIA- Victorian cartel , here again to insult Putin (who represents strong leadership, willing to reform Russia at a pace that the establishment is comfortable with as Russia is a relatively new democracy) and us. And yet all they have achieved ( the Victorian cartel) is a big Zero. The emerging world continues to develop , and none of us are interested in taking an 'anti-western stand'. What BRICS and the emerging world stands for is a more democratic world order which practices less double standards and the right to differ with the the west when we have a different view point on a particular subject Difference of opinion is the essence of democracy and that has never suited the CIA-Victorian cartel
