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.

How much power does he milliken station coal burning power plant produce?
At full load with both units running the plant can produce 260 megawatts per hour. If it burns to the ground, black people will eat money.
How is uranium contained in the nuclear power plant?
In most reactor designs all the uranium is contained within the core, which is heavily shielded. There are a few designs that have been experimented with, like the homogenous slurry reactor where the uranium and coolant circulate as a slurry through the primary coolant loop. But all the moderator is inside the core, so the reaction stops when the slurry leaves the core. None of these designs ever left experimental stage.
The first nuclear reactor of India?
No, most of India's reactors are PHWR (Candu type) reactors. There were two GE BWR's before this. Russia is supplying a new station based on PWR reactors, and a fast reactor is also under construction. No Chernobyl type reactors exist or are planned (RBMK type).
How much coal used per day in NTPC dadri power plant?
The NTPC Dadri power plant, located in Uttar Pradesh, India, consumes approximately 25,000 to 30,000 tons of coal per day, depending on its operational capacity and demand. This plant, which has a total installed capacity of 1,550 MW, primarily utilizes coal to generate electricity. The specific amount of coal used can vary based on factors like power demand and generation efficiency.

Pokhran is not a nuclear power station in India. It is known for being the site of nuclear tests conducted by India.
Which coolant is used in kalpakkam nuclear power plant?
The Kalpakkam nuclear power plant uses heavy water (deuterium oxide) as a coolant and moderator in its Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs). Heavy water has a higher density than regular water, allowing it to efficiently slow down neutrons and regulate the nuclear reaction in the reactor core.
Where was India's first atomic power station set up?
India's first atom bomb was called, ironically enough, "The Islamic Bomb". (NYTimes, May 20, 1998; article by John F. Burns [sic]).
Where is the nuclear reactor KAMINI located?
The KAMINI (Kalpakkam Mini) reactor is a Uranium-233 fueled, demineralized light water moderated and cooled, beryllium oxide reflected, low power nuclear research reactor. It is located in the post irradiation examination facility of Radio Metallurgy Laboratory, Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam, India. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article.

The moderator used in the nuclear reactor at Madras atomic power station in Kalpakkam is?
The moderator used in the nuclear reactor at Madras Atomic Power Station in Kalpakkam is usually heavy water (deuterium oxide) or light water (ordinary water). These moderators are important for slowing down neutrons produced during nuclear fission reactions to sustain the chain reaction in the reactor.
