Kalpakkam fast breeder reactor nearly complete, says minister
The prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR) at the Kalpakkam nuclear power plant in Tamil Nadu is “nearly complete”, Union Minister of State for Atomic Energy Jitendra Singh told the Rajya Sabha on Thursday.
FBRs are special kinds of nuclear reactors that generate more atomic fuel than they consume as they work.
During Question Hour, Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi asked Singh about the progress on the reactor, saying the MoS had informed Parliament during the last Winter Session that the reactor will be completed by October 2022.
