Science and energy | The company’s Formation Day update also provided information about India’s indigenous fast breeder reactor project.
The PFBR is at Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu, with a stated capacity of 500 MW. The release identified Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research as the indigenous designer and BHAVINI as the builder and commissioning organisation. It reported first criticality and completion of Low Power Physics Experiments, while power raising and grid synchronisation remained objectives. First criticality should therefore not be equated with full-power commercial generation. BHAVINI stands for Bharatiya Nabhikiya Vidyut Nigam Limited.
