Detailed Solution

The above statement is true. Kalpakkam is a nuclear power plant located in Tamil Nadu. It is obtained by altering the structure of atoms. When such an alteration is made, much energy is released as heat, which is used to generate electric power. Uranium and Thorium, available in Jharkhand and the Aravalli Rajasthan ranges, are used to generate atomic or nuclear power. The Monazite sands of Kerala are also rich in Thorium. The Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) is located 650km south of Chennai, in the Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu, India.
