well its usually uranium 235 or plutonium they are both effective
As of 2021, India has 22 operational nuclear reactors across seven nuclear power plants. India has plans to increase its nuclear energy capacity through the construction of additional reactors in the coming years.
No, India has both civil nuclear power reactors and nuclear weapons
The Tarapur Atomic Power Station in Maharashtra is the oldest nuclear power station in India. It consists of two boiling water reactors that began operation in 1969 and 1969.
The Narora Nuclear Power Plant is located in the Bulandshahr district of Uttar Pradesh, India. The plant consists of two pressurized heavy water reactors: Narora-1 and Narora-2, with a total capacity of 440 megawatts.
The Tarapur (note the correct spelling) Atomic Power Station is located in Tarapur Maharastra, India

India have 20 nuclear reactors & 5 is in under development ....!!!!

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.
As of 2010, There are six nuclear power plants, comprising 20 reactors, in India. For further information, please consult the Related Links, below.
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.
The 123 Agreement regards the opening of the nuclear fuel market to the Republic of India. 123 provisions allowed India to preserve their military reactors while gaining access to Nuclear Supply Group member states.
Only India has nuclear power reactors with thorium in operation: Kaiga, Rajasthan, Kaprakar. Bravo Indians, all before !
Uranium. There is some interest in using thorium in the future. Thorium cannot be used directly as fuel in a reactor as it does not fission, it requires a fast breeder reactor to convert it to Uranium-233 which does fission.
India has the largest reserves of thorium in the world, followed by countries like Australia and the United States. Thorium is a naturally occurring radioactive element that can be used as a fuel in nuclear reactors.
There are many plans to build new reactors in Canada and the United States especialy, and other countries, such as India and China, also have plans to build new reactors, while many developing countries plan to build their first reactors. Reactors must be constructed near large bodies of water, however, as this is essential to their operation.
