• It is located in Kalpakkam. This plant has a power generation capacity of 500 megawatts.
• It is operated by the Bharatiya Nabhikiya Vidyut Nigam Limited.
• This achievement marks a significant milestone preceding the commencement of full-scale power generation.
• This reactor is an integral part of India's three-stage nuclear power program.
• It contributes to the second stage of this long-term strategy.
• This technology enables the reactor to generate more fuel than it consumes.
• It demonstrates advanced Fast Breeder Reactor capabilities.
• Once fully operational, India will join Russia in the league of nations that commercially operate such reactors.
