Apart from an early small BWR station, GE design, they have all been PHWR (Candu) types, initially built with Canadian help but more recently independently. At present two plants are being built to a Russian PWR design. See the link below for more information.

Nuclear fission is the working principle under which the nuclear reactors operate.
There may be Radium, Thorium, Uranium or even Plutonium which can be used in nuclear reactors.
No, moderation of neutrons is not always used to slow nuclear fission. In some types of nuclear reactors, such as fast breeder reactors, fast neutrons are intentionally not moderated to slow down the fission process. These reactors operate using fast neutrons to sustain a chain reaction. However, in most commercial nuclear reactors, moderation of neutrons is employed to slow down the fission process and maintain a controlled chain reaction.
The provision of component and safety redundancy and diversity in nuclear reactors is important to enhance safety of nuclear reactor operation.
The use of nuclear power
As of 2010, India has 20 Nuclear Reactors.
No, India has both civil nuclear power reactors and nuclear weapons
India have 20 nuclear reactors & 5 is in under development ....!!!!
Well, as nuclear reactors are nuclear reactors, nuclear reactors are not used inside nuclear reactors.
See the link below
No, plutonium is obtained in all the types of nuclear reactors.
All power producing reactors are either PWR or BWR types
See the list in link belowThere are six nuclear power stations in India, with a total of seventeen nuclear reactors in them. There are also six research and production reactors, but such reactors are not usually included in counts of reactors in a country because they are small and do not typically put power on the electric grid._______________________________________________________An updated AnswerThere are 21 operating power reactors in India (with total electric power 5308 MW) and 6 nuclear power reactors under construction (with total electric power 3907 MW) per the statistics of the International Atomic Energy Agency as of April 2004.
Nuclear reactors use nuclear fission.
Reactors of the BWR and PWR types
There are 59 nuclear reactors in France.
You can't compare and contrast nuclear reactors and breeder reactors, any more than you can compare a lion with a mammal. A lion is one example of many mammals; a breeder reactor is just one example of many types of nuclear reactor.
