#India took a silent, but significant step today in the field of #NuclearPower technology with the 500MWe Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (#PFBR) going critical! Decades in the making, this liquid-sodium cooled #FastBreederReactor (#FBR) is a significant milestone in India's 3 stage nuclear programme that aims to achieve nuclear self-sufficiency by using the abundant #Thorium fuel. India holds 25% of the world's Thorium reserves.

Hearty congrats to everyone involved! 🎉
