Electricity generated by FBR would be a source of green energy as the waste from
the first stage nuclear programme is reprocessed and used as fuel in FBR
The spent fuel from this reactor can be fed back into the reactor core several times,
till the spent fuel contains only short lived fission products.
Hence, there is no need of large quantity of fuel materials for the annual external feed
and thus, eliminates the need for large capacity waste storage spaces with complex
construction features.
Indigenously produced Mixed Uranium & Plutonium Oxide will be used as the fuel in
the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor
