The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 24 Jul 2020There is welcome progress for stable, green, baseload power. India has deployed home-grown nuclear technology to reap scale economies for its first 700-MW unit at Kakrapar Atomic Power Project in Gujarat. It’s the biggest indigenous variant of the pressurised heavy water reactor (PHWR), which can be gainfully replicated here and abroad.
Over a dozen more modern nuclear reactors have received financial sanction pan-India; we are well-positioned to export nuclear technology and carry out attendant project execution internationally. Note that PHWRs, the mainstay of our nuclear energy programme, use unenriched natural uranium as fuel and heavy water as a moderator and coolant. It avoids expensive uranium enrichment facilities very unlike conventional nuclear reactors; it is also thermally more efficient.
