Apsara first went basically on 4 August 1956. It is been a light water swimming-pool type reactor with a maximum power output is of 1MWt. The reactor would burn the enriched uranium in the form of aluminum alloyed curved plates wherein, the fuel for those reactors were imported by the United Kingdom in respect of the safeguarding the fuels.

The reactor itself isn't under International Atomic Energy Agencysafeguards. The Apsara reactor is used for different investigations including neutron actuation examination, radiation harm ponders, scientific research, neutron radiography, and protecting analyses.

After almost 50 years of activity, BARC wants to repair and alter the maturing reactor to test another indigenous outline of a 5-10MWt research reactor.
