From 'www.world-nuclear.org' I can find the following reactors which are in operation, but not one called 'Kamini'. The first on this list was TARAPUR in 1969 (BWR)
Tarapur 1 and 2, Kaiga 1,2 and 3, Kakrapur 1 and 2, Kalpakkam 1 and 2, Narora 1 and 2, Rawatbhata 1,2,3 and 4, Tarapur 3 and 4.
Apart from Tarapur 1 and 2, these are all PHWR type. Total capacity 3779 MWe.
Perhaps Kamini was an experimental or small prototype reactor not in this list?

No, Kamini is not India's first atomic reactor. India's first atomic reactor is the Apsara reactor, which was commissioned in August 1956. Kamini is a compact research reactor located at the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research in Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu, and it is primarily used for research purposes, not power generation.

What is the name of India's first nuclear reacter?
India's first nuclear reactor is called the Apsara reactor. It was commissioned in August 1956 at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in Mumbai.
Where was India's first nuclear reactor situated?
India's first nuclear reactor, Apsara, was situated at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in Trombay, Mumbai. It went critical in August 1956 and was primarily used for research purposes.
What is the original name of nuclear reactor?
The original name of a nuclear reactor is an "atomic pile". The term was first used by Enrico Fermi to describe the experimental setup of the first controlled nuclear chain reaction in Chicago during the Manhattan Project in the 1940s.
Inventions of Enrico Fermi?
Enrico Fermi's notable inventions include the development of the first nuclear reactor, which demonstrated the feasibility of controlled nuclear chain reactions. He also contributed significantly to the development of the atomic bomb as part of the Manhattan Project during World War II. Fermi's work laid the foundation for the field of nuclear physics and had a lasting impact on science and technology.
Who built the first nuclear reactor the 'Atomic pile'?
The first nuclear reactor, the Chicago Pile-1, was built by a team led by physicist Enrico Fermi at the University of Chicago in 1942. It was constructed as part of the Manhattan Project, the U.S. government's top-secret effort to develop atomic weapons during World War II.
Inventor of atomic reactor?
The first inventor of a nuclear reactor was Enrico Fermi. Refer to link below.
Who was the italian immigrant who helped build the first atomic reactor?
Enrico Fermi
Which nuclear reactor is proposed to be shut permanently from dhruva kamini cirus apsara reactors in India?
The APSARA reactor is proposed to be shut permanently. It was India's first nuclear research reactor and was operational for over 50 years. The decision to shut it down was made due to safety concerns and to pave the way for newer, more advanced research reactors.
What is the name of India's first nuclear reacter?
India's first nuclear reactor is called the Apsara reactor. It was commissioned in August 1956 at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in Mumbai.
What did scientists build under a football stadium at the University of Chicago?
Project Manhatten, the first atomic reactor.
Where was India's first nuclear reactor situated?
India's first nuclear reactor, Apsara, was situated at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in Trombay, Mumbai. It went critical in August 1956 and was primarily used for research purposes.
What were some of the uses for the first nuclear reactor?
The very first nuclear reactor was Chicago Pile 1. It was built for research and scientific use. The first nuclear reactor outside of a university was built (at Hanford, Washington) primarily to yield plutonium for the atomic bomb destined for Nagasaki, Japan. Nuclear reactors were built primarily for electrical generation beginning in about 1951.

What is the city Arco in Idaho most known for?
It can lay claim to the following credits: * The first town powered by an Atomic Reactor. * Site of Idaho National Laboratory. * Site of the first fatal nuclear reactor failure and radioactive spill. * Home of the Craters of the Moon National Monument.
Where was a nuclear reaction created that led the creation of the atomic bomb in world war 2?
The first sustained nuclear chain reaction was in the CP-1 reactor in Chicago, IL.The X-10 reactor in Oak Ridge, TN was used to develop plutonium production reactor technology.Three reactors at Hanford, WA beginning with B reactor produced the plutonium.
