Match the following key defense assets and nuclear energy installations in India (List-I) with their primary technological or operational features (List-II).
- Kakrapar Atomic Power Station Unit-3First indigenously designed commercial 700 MWe Pressurised Heavy Water Reactor
- Kamini ReactorResearch reactor operating on Uranium-233 fuel derived from Thorium
- Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR)Sodium-cooled reactor representing Stage-2 of India's nuclear power program
- INS ArihantIndigenously built nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine (SSBN)
Answer
Kakrapar Unit-3 corresponds to the first indigenously designed 700 MWe Pressurised Heavy Water Reactor; Kamini Reactor corresponds to the research reactor using Uranium-233 fuel; Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor corresponds to the sodium-cooled Stage-2 reactor; and INS Arihant corresponds to the nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine.
Kakrapar Unit-3 is the pioneer in India's 700 MWe PHWR series. Kamini operates on Uranium-233 at Kalpakkam. The Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) is the cornerstone of Stage-2 sodium-cooled breeder technology. INS Arihant provides India with a sea-based nuclear ballistic missile capability.
