The Kerala Nuclear Power Station or Cheemeni Nuclear Power Station is a proposed nuclear power plant It is proposed to be built on a 150 acres (61 ha) area, near Cheemeni Kasaragod district of Kerala. The project has sparked debates regarding its feasibility, environmental impact, and public acceptance.
Background
In August 2024, the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) commissioned the National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS), Bengaluru, to conduct feasibility studies for nuclear power plants in Cheemeni and Athirapilly. By December 2024, the Government of India expressed interest in approving the Cheemeni project, contingent on the availability of sufficient land. Central Minister of Power Manohar Lal Khattar identified Cheemeni as a strategic site due to its low seismic activity and favourable geographic location.
The concept of a power plant in Cheemeni emerged in 2007, when the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) proposed setting up a 1,200 MW coal-based thermal power plant to address the state’s growing energy demands. However, the project faced significant opposition from environmentalists and local communities, given Kerala’s commitment to sustainability and the adverse environmental impact of coal power. In 2013, the Kerala government revived discussions on an alternative power project in Cheemeni, including the possibility of natural gas-based power generation. However, logistical and cost-related challenges prevented significant progress.
Public Response and Controversy
The proposed nuclear project has ignited significant opposition from local communities, environmentalists, and anti-nuclear groups, primarily due to concerns over safety, environmental impact, and economic viability.

Why this record matters
“Kerala Nuclear Power Station” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Kerala, Nuclear and Power provides the most credible route into that argument.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q131686976. Authority coordinates are 12.250, 75.280. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2026, 2024, 2007 and 2013.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
