India's Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor is facing another delay. Shrikumar Banerjee, Chairman of India's Atomic Energy Commission, was quoted as saying that the reactor would be commissioned in 2012-2013. In February 2010 India announced that the construction would not be completed in December 2010 as previously planned, delaying the expected completion date by a year. Even a month ago, officials were saying that the PFBR "will be completed by the end of 2011 or during the first quarter of 2012." A number of recent news reports (e.g. 1, 2) routinely describe the PFBR as projected to cost Rs. 56 billion, which represents a 60 percent increase on the initial projection of Rs. 35 billion.
