Fast Breeder Test Reactor in Kalpakkam. The Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) is a breeder reactor located at Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu, India The Indira Gandhi Center for Atomic Research and Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) jointly designed, constructed, and operate the reactor.
India has been trying to develop fast breeder reactors for decades but suffered repeated delays. [72] By December 2024 the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor is due to be completed and commissioned. [73] [74] [75] The program is intended to use fertile thorium-232 to breed fissile uranium-233. India is also pursuing thorium thermal breeder reactor ...
At first, the reactor's construction was supposed to be completed in September 2010, but there were several delays. The Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor is scheduled to be put into service in December 2024, [7] which is more than 20 years after construction began and 14 years after the original commissioning date, as of December 2023. The project ...

U-233 was also useful for the fuel development programme for carrying out the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor test fuel irradiation experiments in Fast Breeder Test Reactor. Apart from this, the operation aided in validating the equipment and design of system as well as the manpower training.
The Fast Breeder Reactor-600 (FBR-600) or Indian Fast Breeder Reactor (IFBR) or Commercial Fast Breeder Reactor (CFBR) is a 600-MWe fast breeder nuclear reactor design presently being designed as part of India's three-stage nuclear power programme to commercialise the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor built at Kalpakkam.
PFBR – 500MWe Sodium cooled fast breeder nuclear reactor, under construction. Expected completion 2015. FBTR – 40 MW Fast Breeder Test Reactor, uses mixed (plutonium and uranium) carbide fuel; KAMINI –30 kW, uses U-233 fuel
SEFOR (Southwest Experimental Fast Oxide Reactor) was an experimental fast breeder reactor located in Cove Creek Township, Washington County, near Strickler, in northwest Arkansas (20 miles southwest of Fayetteville, Arkansas). The site consisted of a 20-Megawatt (thermal), Sodium-Cooled Test Reactor, a Shop Building, an Operations Building, a ...
