India Achieves Milestone in Second Stage of Nuclear Power Programme at Kalpakkam

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) praised India's nuclear milestone at Kalpakkam, marking the start of the second stage of its three-stage nuclear power programme. This involves the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR), achieving core loading with uranium-plutonium mixed oxide fuel. The achievement advances India's indigenous nuclear programme for long-term energy sustainability. Envisioned by Homi J Bhabha, this stage uses fast breeder technology to multiply fissile material. The IAEA highlighted the "impressive" progress in India's fast reactor development.
