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
Nuclear fission is the working principle under which the nuclear reactors operate.
An artificial nuclear reactor is a device that initiates and controls a sustained nuclear chain reaction. This reaction produces heat, which is used to produce electricity in nuclear power plants. The fission process in these reactors generates energy by splitting atomic nuclei.
Typically, Uranium-235 is used as fuel in nuclear reactors.
Nuclear reactors can be as small as a single room. There are many reactors that are less then 30 MW (a typical reactor is around 1,000 MW), and consider that a normal car engine is about 200 KW (or .2 MW) so some reactors produce the power of only about 100 cars. The smallest that are standardly used, other then for research, are found on submarines.
Yes, it is the main moderator function in what is called "thermal nuclear reactors"
Yes, a power reactor is a type of thermal reactor. Power reactors use nuclear fission to produce heat, which is then used to generate electricity. The heat generated in the reactor comes from the controlled chain reaction of nuclear fission, making it a thermal reactor.
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.
The breeder reactor produce more fissile fuel than what is consumed while this is not the case for other nuclear reactors.
Nuclear reactors use controlled nuclear fission reactions to generate heat, which is then used to produce steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. The heat is produced in the reactor core where nuclear fuel rods containing uranium or plutonium undergo fission reactions. The reactor's cooling system helps regulate the temperature and prevent overheating.
As asked this question has no answer, as there are no propellants in nuclear reactors.

In dealing with a nuclear reactor SCRAM stands for Safety Control Rod Activator Mechanism. Nuclear reactors can be quite dangerous.
Yes, they are fast nuclear reactors
India have 20 nuclear reactors & 5 is in under development ....!!!!
