Solution

The correct option is B
(b) Only 1 and 3

The fast breeder reactors: They are so called because they use fast neutrons for sustaining the chain reaction, hence no moderator is needed and, besides generating power, they also breed more fissile species (plutonium) than they consume. India becomes the sixth nation having the technology to build and operate a FBTR besides USA, UK, France, Japan and the then USSR
