How Fast Breeder Reactor Work | Thorium Challenges | India’s Nuclear Future

In this video, we’ll learn about Fast Breeder Reactors (FBRs). We’ll learn about the workings of traditional nuclear reactors versus FBRs, adding Prime Minister Modi's recent visit to witness the first stage operation of a fast breeder reactor in Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu. We’ll learn about BHAVINI, India's pioneering endeavor in nuclear energy, and grasp the significance of FBRs in maximizing uranium resources and extending fuel lifespan. We’ll also learn about the potential of thorium reactors and the complexities surrounding their integration with FBR technology. From neutron activation to plutonium production, this video will help you understand India's future of nuclear power and the challenges ahead.

Too much of proper and accurate information in a single video.. I need to watch it atleast 10 times to to grasp the entire scenario.. Hail to Amit Sengupta ❤

[NomadicTraveler-fp]

You are like a true Indian, I have been following your videos for years now, very well done.

[Mamtakarki]

Amit Sengupta is the best YouTuber to make knowledge based videos in a simple language. Every aspirant who is preparing for any kind of competitive exam should regularly watch his content. Very useful. Thank you.

[riteshmusicuniversalandworld]

i remember those my intermedite physics period class 🙂 great explanation thank you

[Kintsugi-prog]

Sir ...i studied my 8th and 9th and 10th social science from you and aced at 10th 91% SST at 2019 ...
thank you soo much for your guidance

India has encountered significant obstacles in developing thorium reactors. Its three-stage nuclear power program’s final phase concentrates on exploiting its abundant thorium reserves through thorium-based reactors. Yet, these reactors’ development poses technological hurdles, especially in managing highly radioactive fresh fuel and necessitating remote fuel fabrication.

Conversely, China’s TMSR-LF1, an experimental molten salt thorium reactor, was completed ahead of schedule in 2021, marking significant progress. This reactor employs a mix of thorium and uranium-235 to explore the thorium-uranium fuel cycle’s various aspects.

Protactinium-233 (Pa233) presents a substantial challenge in the thorium fuel cycle. With a half-life of about 27 days, Pa233’s decay prolongs the breeding of Uranium-233 (U233) from Thorium-232 (Th232). This delay is a fundamental radiochemical issue that affects thorium reactors’ efficiency, as it takes considerably longer to produce U233 compared to Plutonium-239 (Pu239) from Uranium-238 (U238). Addressing this issue is crucial for the successful implementation of thorium reactors, integral to India’s long-term energy strategy.

My interests always align with yours dada... Good to see someone upholding the real strength of Nuclear Power

Once India builds a power grid and can get power to everyone they will have a sharp increase in standard of living and productivity.

[Chris-Someguy]

Thank you Amit, congratulations india. I always find it interesting how india managed to navigate the super powers with whats going on.

At one point I thought Brics was going to completely go against the west. But india is not and I hope that india is in the room to negotiate a more peaceful resolution

[ZAHIDHUSSAIN-puik]

A small correction at 06:30, in the core, there are no slow neutrons, fission is achieved by fast neutrons only, in fast breeder reactors, there are no slow neutrons.

[saketnathmishra]

i watched this video twice and now I can teach my fellow siblings about the working of nuclear reactor.

You're the reason why I started understanding things in more placid manner rather than ill-informed way I used to be


Aapko koti koti pranam Gurudev
🙏

[xiaomiboby]

The topic is explained with proper depth and understanding.
Thankyou.

[deccan]

What a explanation Boss 👌👍. Simply Amazing 👏

[xybn]

samaj nhi aya..lekin sun ke accha lga🤣

[rahulchinnodu]

Extraordinary.. without wasting a second..gained valuable information....

[GururajBN]

Superb and clear presentation. Many thanks. I am wonderstruck at your wide ranging versatility. 👋

[NationalSecurityGuard]

Communal violence bill 2011, was about to be passed in UPA. It would have made Hindu side 'defacto Culprit' during any Riots. BJP opposed it tooth and nail

[triptysharma]

Thank you sir 🙏
This is the best explanation on this topic.

[Homoprimatesapiens]

Thanx for the comprehensive explanation. You people know how to do things better.

[volvo]

Explained very well.

Congrats to India.
