💨 Abstract

India's first prototype fast-breeder reactor in Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu, is expected to be commissioned next year, marking the second stage of its three-stage nuclear program. The reactor, developed by Bharatiya Nabhikiya Vidyut Nigam (BHAVINI), will use plutonium-based mixed oxide as fuel and liquid sodium as coolant.
