India's three-stage nuclear program has come up for discussion in the Rajya Sabha. In today's knowledge nugget, learn about ...

These would replace other types of thermal plants with one that ... which led to increased R&D in so-called fast reactors, which in the fast-breeder reactor (FBR) configuration can use uranium ...

spent fuel from the thermal reactors will be reprocessed and reused, with a final waste footprint up to ten times smaller than that of regular nuclear fuel. India is commissioning the sodium cooled ...

As an improvisation, by using thorium irradiated along with HALEU in the PHWRs at scale, the spent fuel produced can then be ...

Fast breeder reactors "breed" more fissile material than the fuel they consume. The Department of Atomic Energy also announced a significant discovery of new deposits in India's oldest Uranium ...

The fast neutron spectrum allows fast reactors to largely increase the energy yield from natural uranium as compared to thermal reactors ... for decades in several countries, primarily as breeders and ...
