India has achieved a major milestone in its nuclear energy programme after the country’s advanced atomic reactor, the Fast Breeder Reactor

India's Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained a historic milestone. The 500 MWe reactor, which produces more fuel than it consumes, puts India on course to harness its vast thorium reserves.

In a post on X, PM Modi reflected on the strengths of the reactor and recognised this as a "decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves."
