India commissioned a uranium ore mine and processing plant in the state on Friday which is estimated to have one of the mainly important uranium reserves in the world and could fuel 25 percent of the country's nuclear plants.
Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Srikumar Banerjee commissioned the Rs. 1,106 crore plant developed by the Uranium Corporation of India Limited (UCIL) at Thummalapalle in YSR Kadapa district, which is expected to have world's largest uranium reserves.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr Banerjee told reporters that India now has the potential to develop its own uranium ore mines as an alternative of depending on imports. The newly-commissioned plant has a capability of mining and processing 3000 tonnes of uranium a day.
