Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor

India is a step away from entering the second stage of its nuclear programme with the initiation of core loading at the home-built 500 MWe Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor here, a move described as "historic" by the government.

A contract labourer at the Madras Atomic Power station at Kalpakkam in Kancheepuram Tamil Nadu has been arrested after some pen drives and a mobile phone that had over 400 photos of the BHAVINI Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor were seized from him, police said on Thursday.

The 500 MegaWatt (MW) prototype fast breeder reactor (PFBR) at Kalpakkam will soon get its first lot of fuel assemblies - used to build its nuclear fuel core, a senior official has said, adding that 86 per cent of the "physical work" on the plant has been completed.The Rs 5677 crore project is being built by India's fast breeder reactor operator Bh...
