Stages of Indian Nuclear Power Programme

Stages of Indian Nuclear Power Programme:

Stage-I : envisages, construction of Natural Uranium, Heavy Water Moderated and Cooled Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs). Spent fuel from these reactors is reprocessed to obtain Plutonium.

Stage-II : envisages, construction of Fast Breeder Reactors (FBRs) fuelled by Plutonium produced in stage-I. These reactors would also breed U-233 from Thorium.


Stage-III : would comprise power reactors using U-233 / Thorium as fuel.
