  • Kalpakkam is a small town in Tamil Nadu, India, situated on the Coromandel Coast 80 km south of Chennai. Kalpakkam is mostly famous for its nuclear plants and affiliated research installations. These include the Madras Atomic Power Station (MAPS), one of India's nuclear power plants, and IGCAR, the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, an affiliate of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE). This prestigious project is being engineered by Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, the largest equipment supplier in power sector in India. Due to increasing congestion in Kalpakkam arising from the need to accommodate more employees, a new township of Anupuram/Amaipakkam, situated at a distance of 8 km from Kalpakkam, was inaugurated in 1998. The tsunami caused by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake generated widespread damage and resulted in a number of deaths (100) at Kalpakkam. There is a tsunami memorial built in the township in memory of those who lost their lives.
  • Kalpakkam ist ein Ort im indischen Bundesstaat Tamil Nadu. Er liegt im Distrikt Kanchipuram, etwa 60 km südlich von Chennai. Kalpakkam liegt an der Küste des Golfs von Bengalen. Es wurde 1969 von der indischen Atomenergiebehörde (Department of Atomic Energy) für seine Beschäftigten gegründet, als dort das Reaktorforschungszentrum (Reactor Research Center) und das Kernkraftwerk Madras (MAPS) entstanden. Ursprung des Ortes waren die beiden Fischerdörfer Pudupattinam und Sadras, die heute Ortsteile von Kalpakkam sind.
