The criticality of unit-3 now marks the commencement of self-sustaining nuclear fission chain reaction in the reactor core.

The criticality is a major milestone as far as the process of project completion and production of commercial power is concerned.

So far, the Kaiga nuclear power project was active with only 2 units, namely unit-1 and unit-2. Now with the 3rd unit in criticality, the project is taking up the unit-4 whose work has already been started and most of the civil work is in its completion state.

With this the NPCIL now fulfils its commitment in increasing the installed nuclear power capacity to 4120 mwe by the end of the five year plan (2002-2007).
