Rawatbhata

Rawatbhata Municipality has administration over 8,397 houses to which it supplies basic amenities like water and sewerage.

It also supports a road connecting Rawatbhata to a nearby township,Vikram Nagar located on a small hill.

On the top of the hill there is a large metal statue of Maharana Pratap, which is a view point over the city.

The Rana Pratap Sagar Dam facilitates fishing activities in the nearby villages and is also responsible for supplying water to the Rajasthan Atomic Power Station for generation of electricity.

it currently has six pressurised heavy water reactor (PHWR) units operating with a total installed capacity of 1,180 MW.

[citation needed] The Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL), the operator of the plant, is increasing the existing capacity by constructing two more reactors known as Units 7 and 8.

(2×700MW=1400MW)[citation needed] Owned and operated by the Department of Atomic Energy's (DAE) Heavy Water Board (HWB), the heavy water plant is integrated with the Rajasthan atomic power station for its supply of power and steam.

Canada began construction on the plant but ceased cooperation on the project after India's May 1974 test of a nuclear device.

The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre(BARC) then completed designing the plant, which was originally expected to start operations in 1976.

Problems associated with the accumulation of toxic chemicals created during the production of hydrogen sulphide gas, however, delayed commissioning until April 1985.

Inadequate and unreliable supplies of power and steam from the RAPS reactors also plagued the plant and contributed to its low output.

The two oil-fired boilers of the steam generation plant were added to alleviate the power supply problem.

This plant will meet the fuel requirements of 4 No 700 MWe PHWR reactors planned at Rawatbhata.

The complex is spread over 190 hectares located on the banks of Rana Pratap Sagar, beside HWP-Rawatbhata.
