India's Atomic Energy Regulatory Board has officially granted permission for the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor  at Kalpakkam to move to the next stage of the commissioning process, the First ...

Fuel loading began in March 2024 at India’s 500-MWe/1,250-MWth prototype fast-breeder reactor (PFBR) located at Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu. Courtesy: Bharatiya Nabhikiya Vidyut Nigam Ltd.

The salts maintain the reactor core at 1,085 °F (585 °C) as they carry off the heat to a heat exchanger. This secondary salt loop is connected to a steam generator that, in turn, runs a turbine.

Based on this, the permission was granted,” the statement said. In the final stage of core loading, fuel sub-assemblies will be loaded into the reactor core, initiating the nuclear fission process.
