While the news articles talk of reactor being 70-80MW, the slide of DRDO showed it to be around 100MW. I think that Arihant would have "atleast" 100MW reactor and would have submerged displacement of around 9000 to 10,000 metric tons. Look how P-17 which was supposed to be 4900 tons is now stated to be normal 6200tons and warload of 7500 tons.

Yes, I think it will turn out to be 140-150 MWt (thermal)
