India inaugurated the world’s first hydrogen production facility using nuclear process heat at which location on 26 June 2026?

Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option D: Kalpakkam. India inaugurated the world’s first nuclear process heat-based hydrogen production facility on 26 June 2026 at IGCAR, Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu. The facility uses the Copper–Chlorine (Cu-Cl) thermochemical cycle for hydrogen production through a closed chemical loop system. The project receives nuclear process heat from the Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) located at Kalpakkam. IGCAR (Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research) operates under the Department of Atomic Energy and focuses on advanced nuclear and fast reactor research. The Copper–Chlorine cycle is an indigenously developed technology by Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Mumbai. Thermochemical hydrogen production uses high-temperature nuclear heat to split water without direct electrolysis. FBTR is a sodium-cooled fast breeder reactor used for research and energy technology development. The facility acts as a technology demonstrator for future large-scale carbon-free hydrogen production systems.
