Select the answer using the code given below.
Explanation
The Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KKNPP), located in Tamil Nadu, is a flagship project of Indo-Russian nuclear cooperation. Statement 1 is correct because Units 3 and 4 are being constructed with technical assistance from the Russian Federation (specifically the state atomic energy corporation, Rosatom).
Statement 2 is incorrect because Units 5 and 6 are also being developed in cooperation with the Russian Federation, not the USA. The General Framework Agreement (GFA) for Units 5 and 6 was signed between India and Russia in June 2017, and the construction (first pour of concrete) for Unit 5 commenced in June 2021. Nuclear cooperation with the USA is primarily focused on the proposed project at Kovvada, Andhra Pradesh, involving Westinghouse Electric Company, rather than the Kudankulam site.
