Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently witnessed the commencement of core loading at India's first indigenous Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) in Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu. This significant event marks a major milestone in India's nuclear power sector, highlighting the country's move towards achieving energy security and self-reliance (Atmanirbharta). Modi stated, "...Today, our government is working tirelessly towards ensuring energy security. In Kalpakkam, India has taken a big leap towards achieving Atmanirbharta in the…" The reactor, which has a capacity of 500 MWe, is managed by BHAVINI. Upon completion of the core loading, the reactor will achieve its first approach to criticality, leading to power generation. This development is particularly noteworthy as the reactor is designed to produce more fuel than it consumes, paving the way for the utilization of India's vast thorium reserves.
