| #1 India's first Fast Breeder Reactor to be delayed IndiaÂ’s first Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR) for commercial nuclear energy generation is likely to be delayed by a year. The 500-megawatt equivalent (Mwe) reactor, which is being built at Kalpakkam (near Chennai) in Tamil Nadu, was initially expected to be commissioned by 2010-end. India draws roadmap to 1,000 MW fast breeder reactor design The MOX fuel will power India's first seven fast reactors including the upcoming 500 MW prototype fast breeder reactor (PFBR) of which one will have the flexibility to convert to metallic fuel. |
