India to push back startup of fast-breeder nuclear reactor
India's Commercial Fast Breeder Nuclear Reactor Delayed
The startup of India's first fast-breeder nuclear reactor will be likely pushed back by a year. A tsunami six years ago seriously damaged the raft that holds the reactor's civil structure, and it had to be rebuilt, Science and Technology Minister Prithviraj Chavan said. A series of mock tests to check against technical specifications was another factor in the delay, he added. The Wall Street Journal/Dow Jones Newswires
