    Unit 5 of the Rajasthan Atomic Power Station in India became the second longest running nuclear reactor in the world by operating continuously for 765 days. It has been producing electricity at full power since August 2012, generating over 4,258 million units of electricity. Only the Unit 7 reactor at Canada's Pickering nuclear plant has operated longer continuously at 894 days. Additionally, 'email' which was invented by Indian-American V A Shiva Ayyadurai turned 32 years old in 2015.

    Unit 5 of RAPS becomes worlds 2nd longest running reactor


    Indias nuclear power programme reached a fresh milestone after Unit 5 of the Rajasthan
    Atomic Power Station (RAPS), become the 2nd longest running reactor in the world by being in
    operation for 765 days nonstop. The Unit 5 of the RAPS, a 220 MW Pressurized Heavy Water
    Reactor (PHWR), in Rawatbhata has been in uninterrupted operation since August 2, 2012 and it
    has been operating at full power with a capacity factor of 105% and has since then generated
    around 4,258 million units of electricity. Unit 7 of Canadas Pickering nuclear plant holds the
    world record of running the largest operating plant that ran continuously for 894 days.
