Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also visit the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) site on Wednesday. This is a major participant scientific project. The purpose of this project is to create a clean nuclear fusion energy, in which India is an important partner through the ITER site located in South France, the world will showcase the fusion reaction for the first time so we can know if we can use fusion energy.
According to information provided by the government, India’s nuclear sector has witnessed a strong growth, with power generation capacity almost doubled from 4,780 MW in 2014 to 8,180 MW in 2024. Looking forward, the country is a target of ambitious 22,480 MW by 2031-32. India is also taking advantage of nuclear energy to increase creativity in other important areas. In agriculture, nuclear techniques have become the cause of developing 70 mutant crop varieties.
India has enough thorium
This advances have also benefited the healthcare sector. Especially for the treatment of cancer, the way advanced technology isotope has been entered, it looks very impressive. It has also seen practical applications in the defense sector, such as cost-effective, low-weight bulletproof jacket production. India’s abundant thorium reserves – 21% of the global total – the secure, more durable nuclear energy options give the country a potential leader. Standing at the forefront of global energy transition, India under the leadership of PM Modi has emerged as a leader in secure nuclear energy. Commissioned for peace, development and stability, India is using civil nuclear energy for national progress and international cooperation. Looking at the cohesive vision for clean energy and nuclear protection, India and France can play an important role in ensuring global nuclear peace and stability.
India’s commitment to global peace and secure nuclear energy
India has constantly supported nuclear proliferation and peaceful nuclear technology. As a responsible nuclear power, India complies with international standards, including the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safety and promotes global disarmament efforts. The country has actively contributed to the conference (CD) and the UN Security Council (UNSC) on the disarmament and to strengthen its commitment, India is integrating its peaceful nuclear initiative with its national energy strategy, both of which security and stability. Is scheduled.
20000 crore allocation
Under the Nuclear Energy Mission for developed India, Rs 20000 crore has been allocated for the research and development of small modular reactors (SMR) in the Union Budget 2025-26. This significant investment corresponds to India’s comprehensive commitment to peaceful nuclear programs, which strengthens its role as a leader in safe and durable nuclear energy. With the ambitious goal of designing and managing at least five indigenous SMRS by 2033, India is not only strengthening its energy structure but also contributing to global energy protection. The purpose of the legal reforms for the nuclear energy act and the nuclear damage act is to create a favorable structure for investment, facilitate international participation, and promote technological advances in nuclear energy.
