Question
Which type of fuel is used in the initial phase of
operation for India’s Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) at Kalpakkam?Solution
For the initial phase, the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) will operate using Uranium-Plutonium Mixed Oxide (MOX) fuel. The reactor is a sodium-cooled, pool-type Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR) that produces more fuel than it consumes. The core of the reactor is surrounded by a blanket of Uranium-238, and fast neutrons convert these fertile Uranium-238 into fissile fuel. Once operational, India will be the second country after Russia to run a commercial Fast Breeder Reactor.
