Recently, LUCH Scientific Production Association (part of Science and Innovations JSC, R&D Unit of Rosatom State Corporation, Russian nuclear major) has signed an agreement to supply thermocouples for four power units of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) in India. In total, the enterprise will supply 200 units of resistance thermocouples labelled TSPT 5963. This modification is characterized by high stability of operation and has metrological characteristics at the level of leading world manufacturers.

Beyond nuclear tech, the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant is all set to build an 'AKRUTI Centre' for the benefit of villages located within a 16 km radius of the plant. Advanced Knowledge and Rural Technology Implementation (AKRUTI) is a programme offered by the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in Mumbai, aimed at encouraging village-level techno-preneurship based on BARC technologies. As part of the AKRUTI programme, BARC offers various technologies for industrial and even societal benefits. Now the communities in the vicinity of Kudankulam will benefit from such technology.
