Solution
It is a nuclear power plant situated in India's Karwar District of Karnataka State. Is now India's third-largest nuclear facility. The fourth critical unit was converted by KGS in November 2010 and synchronized to the grid in January 2011.
Complete answer:
Kaiga Generating Station is a nuclear power plant located in Kaiga, near the Kali River, in the Karnataka district of Uttar Kannada, India. Since March 2000, the plant has been in operation and is owned by India's Nuclear Power Corporation.
Four units are in it. On 27 November 2010, the fourth unit became critical. The two oldest units occupy the western half of the site and the two newest units are adjacent to the site's east side. Not all of the four systems are 220 MW small-sized heavy water pressurized reactors.
Unit 4, with a capacity of 220 MW, was linked to the southern power grid at 01:56 on 19 January 2011. Thus, after Tarapur (1400 MW) and Rawatbhata (1180 MW), the total capacity grew to 880 MW, rendering it the third-largest in India. The machine, which is fuelled by indigenous uranium, will supply Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Puducherry with electricity.
Additional Information: Project Tiger, an initiative by the government of India, was launched in 1973. This project continues to do everything possible to preserve and save the tiger, with the goal of ensuring that the population of Bengal tigers is well preserved in their natural habitats.
The only surviving species of the red deer family in Kashmir is the 'Hangul' (Kashmiri stag). The power of the rare animal dropped from 5,000 at the beginning of the last century to 900 in the 1980s, when border state militancy broke out. With the aid of the 'Project Hangul' of the World Wildlife Fund, initiated in the ‘70s, by the ‘80s their population had gone to 340. It was short-lived, however.
On World Environment Day 2013, the State of Rajasthan launched "Project Great Indian Bustard," identifying and fencing bustard breeding grounds in existing protected areas, as well as providing safe breeding enclosures in areas outside protected areas.
So, the correct answer is ‘project kaiga’.
Note: In order to preserve healthy species or populations of wildlife and to restore, conserve or improve natural ecosystems, wildlife conservation refers to the practice of maintaining wild species and their habitats. Habitat destruction/degradation/fragmentation, overexploitation, poaching, pollution, and climate change are significant wildlife threats.
