  • In this video, we’ll learn about Fast Breeder Reactors (FBRs). We’ll learn about the workings of traditional nuclear reactors versus FBRs, adding Prime Minister Modi's recent visit to witness the first stage operation of a fast breeder reactor in Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu. We’ll learn about BHAVINI, India's pioneering endeavor in nuclear energy, and grasp the significance of FBRs in maximizing uranium resources and extending fuel lifespan. We’ll also learn about the potential of thorium reactors and the complexities surrounding their integration with FBR technology. From neutron activation to plutonium production, this video will help you understand India's future of nuclear power and the challenges ahead.

    India has encountered significant obstacles in developing thorium reactors. Its three-stage nuclear power program’s final phase concentrates on exploiting its abundant thorium reserves through thorium-based reactors. Yet, these reactors’ development poses technological hurdles, especially in managing highly radioactive fresh fuel and necessitating remote fuel fabrication.
    Conversely, China’s TMSR-LF1, an experimental molten salt thorium reactor, was completed ahead of schedule in 2021, marking significant progress. This reactor employs a mix of thorium and uranium-235 to explore the thorium-uranium fuel cycle’s various aspects.
    Protactinium-233 (Pa233) presents a substantial challenge in the thorium fuel cycle. With a half-life of about 27 days, Pa233’s decay prolongs the breeding of Uranium-233 (U233) from Thorium-232 (Th232). This delay is a fundamental radiochemical issue that affects thorium reactors’ efficiency, as it takes considerably longer to produce U233 compared to Plutonium-239 (Pu239) from Uranium-238 (U238). Addressing this issue is crucial for the successful implementation of thorium reactors, integral to India’s long-term energy strategy.

    But we certainly need a nuclear power 101 sessions, similar to the way he did the amazing geography video. Please do explain each reactor type in your style. What we developed, what is in progress, what is the future.?... Not many can do it as simple as clearly as you.

    Question should be on timelines....how fast can NPCIL build those PFBR ? It should be on fleet mode like First stage PHWR. First stage capacity is only 10GW by limiting factor of Uranium present in India, but Second stage PFBR capacity is 500 GW. So, it should be the primary focus. Hence India need such 100 reactors of 500MW to fully utilize the capacity.

    Thank you for the video. FYI, the coolant (liquid metal - sodium) makes it very very challenging while decommissioning these type of reactors. The entire reactor, primary and secondary circuit pipe works, heat exchanger etc gets heavily contaminated by activated sodium which highly explosive when in contact with moisture and water. So decommissioning costs easily outweighs the benefits of power generation but conversion to fissile material is interesting. 🙏🏼🇮🇳
