KAMINI (Kalpakkam Mini reactor) is a research reactor at the Indira Gandhi Center for Atomic Research in Kalpakkam, India. It achieved criticality on October 29, 1996.[1][2] It was designed and built jointly by the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) and Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR).[3] it produces 30 kW of thermal energy at full power.[2][4]
KAMINI is cooled and moderated by light water, uses a beryllium oxide neutron reflector,[2] and is fueled with uranium-233 metal produced by the thorium fuel cycle harnessed by the neighbouring FBTR reactor.
As of 2006[update], it is the world's only thorium-based experimental reactor.
KAMINI was the first and is currently the only reactor in the world designed specifically to use uranium-233 fuel. Use of the large thorium reserves to produce nuclear fuel is a key strategy of India's nuclear energy program.
