List of Nuclear Power Plants of India
(Important List of Nuclear Power Plants of India and they belongs to which state and their production capacity)
Nuclear Power plant belongs to which state Nuclear power plant from which state
There are different types of nuclear reactors are used for the production of electricity and they are of various type which are described below :
Pressurized heavy-water reactor
A pressurized heavy-water reactor (PHWR) is a nuclear reactor, commonly using natural uranium as its fuel, that uses heavy water (deuterium oxide D2O) as its coolant and neutron moderator.Boiling water reactor
The boiling water reactor (BWR) is a type of light water nuclear reactor used for the generation of electrical power. It is the second most common type of electricity-generating nuclear reactor after the pressurized water reactor (PWR), also a type of light water nuclear reactor.
Water-Water Energetic Reactor (WWER) or VVER (Vodo-Vodyanoi Energetichesky Reaktor)
This is a series of pressurised water reactor designs originally developed in the Soviet Union, and now Russia, by OKB Gidropress.
Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor
The Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) is a 500 MWe fast breeder nuclear reactor presently being constructed at the Madras Atomic Power Station in Kalpakkam, India.
Breeder reactor
These devices achieve this because their neutron economy is high enough to breed more fissile fuel than they use from fertile material, such as uranium-238 or thorium-232.
Advanced heavy-water reactor
The advanced heavy-water reactor (AHWR) is the latest Indian design for a next-generation nuclear reactor that burns thorium in its fuel core. It is slated to form the third stage in India's three-stage fuel-cycle plan.This phase of the fuel cycle plan is supposed to be built starting with a 300MW prototype in 2016.
EPR (nuclear reactor)
The EPR is a third generation pressurised water reactor (PWR) design. It has been designed and developed mainly by Framatome (part of Areva between 2001 and 2017) and Électricité de France (EDF) in France, and Siemens in Germany. In Europe this reactor design was called European Pressurised Reactor, and the internationalised name was Evolutionary Power Reactor, but it is now simply named EPR.
