Climate Change in Mind, India Masters Unique Breeder Nuclear Reactors.
Atomic energy will play a big part in India's energy transition strategy to achieve the target of net zero emissions. In rare access NDTV's Science Editor Pallava Bagla visited the one-of-a-kind and highly guarded experimental nuclear reactor that breeds more fuel that it consumes to generate energy. Called the Fast Breeder Test Reactor, it has been the test bed for India's ambitious 500 MW Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor. Only Russia and India have operating fast breeder reactors. Nuclear energy does not emit carbon and fast breeder reactors use plutonium as fuel. It will also be tested to produce green hydrogen. India's Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor may become operational next year.
