India's First Nuclear Reactor was Apsara. It was also the first nuclear reactor in Asia. Apsara went critical at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Trombay on August 4, 1956. It heralded the arrival of India's nuclear energy programme. Dr. Homi Bhabha himself conceptualised the design of the reactor and the reactor was built entirely by Indian engineers in a record time of about 15 months.
Apsara is a swimming-pool-type reactor loaded with enriched uranium as fuel. The fuel core is suspended from a movable trolley in a pool filled with water. The pool water serves as coolant, moderator and reflector, besides providing the shielding.

What is the name of the zionist nuclear reactor in palestine?
First of all, Palestine is not yet a country so it is impossible for there to be a nuclear reactor in that country. There is no nuclear reactor in any of the Palestinian territories (Gaza Strip and West Bank) controlled by either the Palestinian Authority or Hamas. Secondly, Zionism is a political ideology. Since inanimate objects like nuclear reactors cannot have ideologies, there can be no such thing as a Zionist nuclear reactor. If you are asking what the name of the Israeli nuclear reactor is, that is a completely different question. Israel has never confirmed that it posses a nuclear reactor, but it has also never denied that it has one either. However, most people do believe that Israel has a nuclear reactor located in the Israeli city of Dimona.

Name one type of nuclear reactor?
One type of nuclear reactor is the pressurized water reactor (PWR). In a PWR, the heat generated by nuclear fission in the reactor core is transferred to water, which circulates through the core to create steam that drives turbines to produce electricity.
