In a significant development for India's nuclear energy sector, the country is currently constructing nine nuclear reactors with a combined capacity of 7,300 MW. Furthermore, plans are in place to build an additional twelve reactors, as part of India’s aggressive push to expand its nuclear capabilities. In a related development, the country's most advanced nuclear reactor, the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) at Kalpakkam has finally got approval from India's atomic regulator to start loading the nuclear fuel and initiate the controlled chain reaction. This development marks the use of plutonium and more importantly the first steps at using thorium as an atomic energy source.Sunkind reinforces market leadership with 19.9 MWp solar orders in emerging citiesSunkind India acquired more substantial orders from its esteemed clients, totalling 19.9 MWp.
