India has acquired the capability to produce viable commercial nuclear reactors with power generation capacities of 220 MW and 540 MW in which some developing countries had evinced interest to import, Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Dr Anil Kakodkar said on Wednesday.

"India is capable of indigenously building the most viable commercial nuclear reactors for producing 220 MW and 540 MW power. Small reactors are the best bet to export," he told media persons at the Koodamkulam Nuclear power plant site near Tirunelveli replying to a question on feasibility of exporting nuclear reactors to countries like Egypt.

"Some countries are interested in getting nuclear reactors from India," he added.

He was speaking on the sidelines of floating and towing of caisson, a mammoth concrete structure used for bringing water required for cooling reactors, in the sea around 1.2 km from the shore.
