India’s Native Fast Breeder Reactor Reaches First Criticality: 5 Things to Know
India has reached a significant milestone in its nuclear programme. On Tuesday, the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) attained first criticality, an important stage where the reactor generates more fuel than it burns. Now that the PFBR is capable of sustained nuclear chain reaction, the programme will move towards the next stage, where it will ...

NASA Aims to Deploy Nuclear Reactor on Moon by 2030 for Strategic Power
NASA is accelerating plans to deploy a 100-kilowatt nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030, according to interim head Sean Duffy. The reactor would ensure steady power through long lunar nights and help secure water-ice resources at the Moon’s south pole. China and Russia also aim for lunar reactors by the mid-2030s, sparking a geopolitical “moon ...

NASA, General Atomics Test Nuclear Fuel for Faster Mars Missions
NASA and General Atomics conducted key tests on nuclear reactor fuel at Marshall Space Flight Center. The fuel was exposed to extreme temperatures to assess its viability for nuclear thermal propulsion. With successful results, the technology could enable faster space travel, reducing risks for astronauts on long-duration missions. NASA and DARPA a...

From Cold Siberia, Uranium Fuel Comes For Kudankulam Atomic Plants
Frozen Siberia -- where temperatures reach minus 60 degrees Celsius in winters -- is the unlikely source of the enriched uranium that fuels the twin mega reactors at Kudankulam. Tons of uranium is processed in Russian Siberia and then taken 5,000 kilometres away to Tamil Nadu, where it helps power homes
