1. Dhruva reactor:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhruva_reactor
This reactor is a larger version of CIRUS and can produce up to 25 KG of plutonium per year. No statement has been made about shutting down this reactor, presumably India feels it is not obliged to because unlike CIRUS it was designed and built using Indian resources.
2. CIRUS reactor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIRUS_reactor. The CIRUS design is based on Canada's Chalk River reactor and was built with Canadian help. India has announced that this reactor will be shutdown in 2010 in accordance with the terms of the recent US-India nuclear deal. CIRUS can produce up to 10 kg of plutonium in a year.
3. KAMINI reactor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KAMINI 4. APSARA reactor http://www.barc.ernet.in/webpages/about/mile.htm

What is artificial nuclear reactor?
An artificial nuclear reactor is a nuclear reactor that is created by man to utilize a nuclear reaction for energy, as opposed to natural nuclear reactors.
Explain the working principle of a nuclear reactor?
Nuclear fission is the working principle under which the nuclear reactors operate.
What is used for fule in nuclear reactor?
Typically, Uranium-235 is used as fuel in nuclear reactors.
What is the purpose of having redundancy and diversity in nuclear reactors?
The provision of component and safety redundancy and diversity in nuclear reactors is important to enhance safety of nuclear reactor operation.
What are the functions of the deuterium and tritium atoms in nuclear reactors?
All current nuclear reactors are fission reactors, tritium has no function in a fission reactor, in standard water moderated reactors deuterium also has no function, in heavy water moderated reactors deuterium is the moderator. If we are ever able to make a fusion reactor, deuterium/tritium mix will be used as fuel.
What are the three main advantages of a fusion reactor compared to a fission reactor?
Nuclear fusion reactors do not exist yet as we don't know how to build them. All nuclear reactors are nuclear fission reactors.
Is power reactor a thermal reactor?
All power reactors are thermal reactors except few ones that are fast nuclear reactors.
What is artificial nuclear reactor?
An artificial nuclear reactor is a nuclear reactor that is created by man to utilize a nuclear reaction for energy, as opposed to natural nuclear reactors.
How are breeder reactors and nuclear reactor different?
The breeder reactor produce more fissile fuel than what is consumed while this is not the case for other nuclear reactors.
What is nuclear reactor kinetics?
Nuclear reactor kinetics is the branch of reactor engineering and reactor physics and control that deals with long term time changes in reactor fuel and nuclear reactors.
Who invented propellants for nuclear reactor?
As asked this question has no answer, as there are no propellants in nuclear reactors.
How many nuclear reactor plant are in America?
104 operating nuclear reactors
Explain the working principle of a nuclear reactor?
Nuclear fission is the working principle under which the nuclear reactors operate.
What has the author Joseph A Thie written?
Joseph A. Thie has written: 'Reactor noise' -- subject(s): Nuclear reactors 'Power reactor noise' -- subject(s): Noise, Nuclear reactors
What does scram mean for a nuclear reactor?
In dealing with a nuclear reactor SCRAM stands for Safety Control Rod Activator Mechanism. Nuclear reactors can be quite dangerous.
Can a reactor without moderator is present?
Yes, they are fast nuclear reactors
How much nuclear reactor did India have?
India have 20 nuclear reactors & 5 is in under development ....!!!!
