Tarapur Atomic Power Station (320 MW) (T.A.P.S.) is located in Tarapur, Maharashtra (India) and was originally constructed by the American companies Bechtel and GE under a 1963 123 Agreement between India, the United States, and the International Atomic Energy Agency. The new reactor (1080 MW) was constructed by L & T and Gammon India. Both these power stations are operated by Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited. The personnel operating the power plant live in a residential complex called T. A. P. S. colony. This residential complex is a fifteen minute drive from Boisar, the nearest railway station. The residential complex was also constructed by Bechtel to house both Indian and American employees. Because, it was the home to American engineers and technicians, the residential complex had a very American small-town look, with neat sidewalks, spacious houses, a club with tennis courts and swimming pool, a commissary etc. While the original American residents have long gone, the colony continues to thrive.
