In the Indian energy scenario projections for the future, the nuclear power through fast reactors is expected to play an important role of ∼ 20% of total installed capacity by 2052. Successful operation of 40 MWt/13 MWe capacity Fast Breeder Test Reactor(FBTR) since 1985, strong R&D executed in multidisciplinary domain backed up by manufacturing technology and construction of 500 MWe Prototype...
Fast Breeder Reactors (FBRs) are emerging as vital source of power generation in India towards meeting energy security and sustainability for the growing economy of India. The success of FBR programme depends on continuous operation of reactor system and reprocessing and waste management facilities to ensure economy and also to achieve sustained fissile material production for several FBRs planned...
In Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR), Kalpakkam, India, there are three Diverse Safety Rod Drive Mechanisms (DSRDM) in the control plug, which hold the diverse safety rods (DSR). During normal operation, DSR is held outside the active core region by an electromagnet. On receiving Safety Control Rod Accelerated Motion (SCRAM) signal, the electromagnet de-energizes and drops the DSR, which falls...
