Why India's fast breeder programme is cutting edge

After three decades of hard work, and despite the devastating tsunami of 2004, the 500 megawatt Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam is coming up at a furious pace, says Shivanand Kanavi who visited it recently. It also happens to be the first tsunami-ready reactor in India.

F ast breeders have entered journalistic and parliamentary lexicon during the debates on the India-United States nuclear deal.

According to an apocryphal story, a venerable member of Parliament, dazed by the sudden influx of nuclear physics in the Central Hall of Parliament, did not want to be left behind in the sound byte game and said, "We are good at fast breeders. That's how we became one billion-strong"!

Be that as it may, the fast breeder technology, in its essence, is more than 50 years old. Most people do not know that the first ever kilowatt of power from a nuclear reactor, anywhere in the world, came in 1951 from a fast breeder reactor, Experimental Breeder Reactor I at Idaho Falls in the US.

So, what are these new-fangled objects, the fast breeder reactors? If we care to struggle with a little bit of nuclear physics, we might profit from it. Here are a few simple incentives to cross the knowledge hump.

T he prototype fast breeder reactor under construction at a furious pace in Kalpakkam is scheduled to be commissioned in June 2012. According to SC Chetal, of the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, the two fast breeder reactors of 500 MW each, which are expected to come on stream in Kalpakkam by 2014, are being configured to produce power at the rate of Rs 2 per unit (in today's constant rupee terms).

"We are doing our best to demonstrate that fast breeders are not only necessary for energy security but are also an economically viable technology for power production," adds Chetal.

You want one more dollop of nuclear enthusiasm, then take this! "India's total power production today is 100,000 MW. The potential power from the fast breeder cycle is 550,000 MW. This is a conservative estimate, the real optimists rate it as 800,000 MW. And all this without considering the imported uranium available to India after the lifting of the Nuclear Suppliers Group sanctions in 2008," says Baldev Raj, a leading metallurgist, who leads fast breeder research in India as director, Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research.

All this is not pulling a fast one on behalf of fast breeders, but a product of simple physics and arithmetic. In the power reactors currently in use at Rawatbhatta, (Rajasthan), Kalpakkam (TN), Narora (UP), Kakrapar (Gujarat), Kaiga (Karnataka) and Tarapur (Maharashtra), only 0.7 per cent of the fuel can be burnt to produce electricity.
