Visited it a few years ago in a public awareness programme. Its very complicated design from an engineer's point of view. Must salute the people who are behind the creation and operation of this scientific wonder. I think this Nuclear powerplant is India's most powerful and most safe one till date. It's astonishing that each of it's units produces 1000 Megawatt. Now two of its units have been successfully constructed and has started running in its full potential to provide Tamilnadu and its neighbours continous electricity supply. I think this Nuclear powerplant has helped reducing power cuts throughout Tamilnadu.

I don't know why people are having negative thoughts on hearing the word nuclear. Every technology can be used for good or bad purpose. For example, the same technology of light ( elecromagnetic radiation) which illuminates a room if used in a wrong way can burn the whole room (eg. A powerful laser).
Or for a better example consider fire: Controlled fire can be highly useful whereas uncontrolled fire can be highly dangerous.
It's similar for nuclear power.
Also nuclear power plant causes no atmospheric pollution and is environment friendly.

As far as I think this plant can't get destroyed unless a massive disaster like tsunami happens that destroys whole of Tamilnadu. So all people would be dead by the disaster itself and no one will be killed due to this powerplant. I mean to say this plant is that safe. Believe me. I am not exaggerating a lot.
