New Delhi, April 7 (SocialNews.XYZ) Fast breeder reactors will play a crucial role in delivering reliable, low-carbon base-load power with higher thermal efficiency, the government said on Tuesday, as India's 500 MWe Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) achieved first criticality. The milestone, marking the start of a controlled nuclear fission chain reaction, is seen as a significant step towards strengthening the country's long-term energy security and advancing indigenous nuclear technology ...Read More >
India's first prototype fast-breeder reactor (PFBR) in Tamil Nadu's Kalpakkam on Monday (April 6, 2026) came another step forward in its civil nuclear journey as it attained criticality. First criticality in a fast breeder reactor is the moment when the nuclear chain reaction becomes self-sustaining. A breeder reactor is a nuclear reactor that produces more fissile material than it consumes. In a 'fast' breeder reactor, the neutrons aren't slowed, allowing them to trigger specific fission react ...Read More >
NEW DELHI: In a big boost for India's civil nuclear energy production, the indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) at Kalpakkam in Tamil Nadu has attained criticality.Congratulating Indian scientists and engineers on the reactor attaining criticality, PM Narendra Modi posted on X, "Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme."This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consume ...Read More >
New Delhi, Apr 6 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi today announced that India has reached a significant milestone in its civil nuclear programme, with the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) at Kalpakkam attaining criticality. In a post on X, the Prime Minister described the development as a "defining step" in the country's nuclear journey. "Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme," Modi said. Highlighting the ...Read More >
Chennai: India's fast breeder reactor programme achieved twin milestones this week. The Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) at the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR), Kalpakkam, marked 40 years of attaining first criticality. Meanwhile, engineers began loading fuel into the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR), the country's most advanced and complex atomic power plant.Officials said the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) recently granted permission for fuel loading into the 500 M ...Read More >
