What was the difference about chernobyl and the integral fast reactor when they both lost coolant?
At Chernobyl there was a steam explosion which blew off the top of the reactor followed by a fire due to the graphite moderator burning in air, and a huge amount of radioactive material was discharged, including fission products from the fuel. I'm not sure which fast reactor you are referring to, but certainly the incident did not involve massive catastrophic failure of the reactor vessel, or it would have become a world incident as Chernobyl did.
What is UK 's first fast breeder reactor in Scotland called?
Dounreay PFR (Prototype Fast Reactor)

What is the coolant used in kalpakkam power station in India?
Kalpakkam has both Thermal reactor (Madras Atomic Power Station) and Fast Breeder Reactor -FBTR and PFBR (Under construction). In MAPS (thermal reactor) it is Heavy Water (D2O) Which acts as a coolant as well as moderator, where as in Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) and Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) Sodium (Na) is used as coolant. Since there should not any moderators for fast reactors D2O will not be used as coolant in fast reactors.

What caused Japan's reactor to blow up?
the reactor over heated and the fail safe shut down failed
Can a reactor without moderator is present?
Yes, they are fast nuclear reactors
Fast breeder reactor in India?
See the India section of www.world-nuclear.org
Why moderator is not used in case of fast breeder reactor?
Moderator is not used in case of fast breeder reactor because there is no need to slow down neutron energy. Nuclear fission takes place at high energy of neutrons.
What is happening with Japan's nuclear reactor?
They are 'mothballing' it. It is being decommissioned and made safe.
