Landmark step, but concerns remain: Experts on Kalpakkam nuclear reactor reaching criticality
India's first indigenous prototype fast breeder reactor (PFBR) at Kalpakkam achieved criticality, marking a milestone in nuclear self-reliance. Experts warn that while this advances India's three-stage nuclear program, it introduces potential cybersecurity risks to critical infrastructure and reactor control systems. Immediate mitigation of industrial control system (ICS) vulnerabilities is advised.
