Abstract

The Indian nuclear program, which started in 1948, covers areas as diverse as nuclear power and fuel cycle, nuclear medicine, and plant biology. India has four nuclear power units and three heavy-water plants in operation. Six nuclear power units and four heavy-water plants are in various stages of construction/commissioning, entirely with indigenous effort. Experience with nuclear power has been economically successful. The nuclear power program has been planned in an integrated manner to cover both the front and the back end of the fuel cycle, a major objective being self-sufficiency and self-reliance. Safety of nuclear facilities has always been of paramount importance in the program. The program envisages an installed capacity of about 10,000 MWe by the turn of the century.
