India's and Asia's first nuclear reactor, Apsara was inaugurated by Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru on 20 January 1957.
- The reactor was designed by the Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC) and built with assistance from the United Kingdom, which also provided the initial fuel supply consisting of 80 per cent enriched uranium.
- Apsara is a light water swimming pool-type reactor with a maximum power output of one megawatt thermal (MWt).
- There are 7 more reactors are under construction with a combined generation capacity of 4,300 MW.
Kudankulam reactor has the highest capacity of 2000 MW in India.
The question is asking about the first nuclear reactor, NOT a nuclear power plant. It was the Apsara nuclear reactor located at Trombay, Bombay (Mumbai).
