Indian nuclear science took nimble steps towards n-power independence on Tuesday with the installation of an 80-tonne safety vessel in the 500-mw Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) at Kalpakkam. The indigenously-designed and fabricated vessel is the first crucial component to be erected at the plant, which is scheduled to go critical by September 2010. The vessel was designed by a team of scientists led by Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) director Dr Baldev Raj and fabricated at the plant campus.

After a long interval, attention has again turned to harnessing of nuclear energy.
The price rise in oil and gas markets, realisation that these resources may not last long and warning signs of climate change have each contributed in some measure to this. There still prevail, however, proliferation fears and concerns about long-term management of radioactive wastes, including plutonium in spent fuel.
It is in this context that the use of thorium, instead of uranium, in reactors holds promise.
