The first two nuclear reactors at Tarapur Atomic Power Station (TAPS), which have been undergoing renovations since 2020, will be shut down for another five months due to a delay in obtaining a critical component, officials revealed on Friday.
The reactors, which were supposed to be reactivated on May 9, will now stay offline until October due to the non-arrival of special metal pipes from Italy. Because of the small size of these pipes, manufacturers are having difficulty fulfilling orders, resulting in delays, according to the PTI report.
