    India’s Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor in Kalpakkam has achieved criticality in 2026, marking a key step in nuclear power generation, energy security, and long-term sustainable fuel development.

    BulletsIn

    • Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) achieves a key criticality milestone
    • Located at the Kalpakkam nuclear complex, Tamil Nadu Kalpakkam
    • Criticality means a self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction has begun
    • Marks a major step before commercial electricity generation can start
    • PFBR is part of India’s three-stage nuclear energy programme
    • Designed to produce more nuclear fuel (breeding) than it consumes
    • Strengthens India’s long-term energy security and fuel independence
    • Supports future transition to thorium-based nuclear energy systems
    • Developed with largely indigenous technology and Indian expertise
    • Contributes to clean energy expansion and lower carbon emissions
