New Delhi, May 1

Though the West is withdrawing from its dealings with Russia, its civil atomic energy company Rosatom reached a milestone by installing the crucial reactor vessel at the third nuclear power unit at Kudankulam in Tamil Nadu. The first two units are already generating electricity.

“The assembly of the reactor vessel will launch further activities for the assembly of the reactor plant equipment,” said a Rosatom statement on Sunday. Nuclear Power Corporation of India has for the first time assembled the reactor vessel by the “Open Top” method which makes it possible to significantly reduce the time period of the project implementation, it added.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
