Narendra Modi highlighted the success of the indigenously developed Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor

¨  Narendra Modi highlighted the success of the indigenously developed Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor.

¨  This reactor has achieved criticality, meaning it can sustain a nuclear chain reaction on its own.

¨   It is located in Kalpakkam. This plant has a power generation capacity of 500 megawatts.

¨     It is operated by the Bharatiya Nabhikiya Vidyut Nigam Limited.

¨    This achievement marks a significant milestone preceding the commencement of full-scale power generation.

¨     This reactor is an integral part of India's three-stage nuclear power program.

¨     It contributes to the second stage of this long-term strategy.

¨     This technology enables the reactor to generate more fuel than it consumes.

¨     It demonstrates advanced Fast Breeder Reactor capabilities.

¨ Once fully operational, India will join Russia in the league of nations that commercially operate such reactors.
