The headline of an article by Bloomberg claims that 'India Clinches $2 Billion Russia Submarine Deal as Putin Visits.'

❌The claim made in this headline is misleading!

✅ No new deal has been signed between India and Russia.

With the Atomic Energy Bill lined up this session and India targeting 100 GW of nuclear power, momentum is building around a thorium-centred expansion of nuclear energy via Bharat Small Reactors.

Chicago-based Clean Core Thorium Energy’s ANEEL (a thorium–uranium blended fuel named after Anil Kakodkar) is undergoing final confirmatory testing at a U.S. national laboratory.

The company has already announced tie-ups with Larsen & Toubro and NTPC Limited.

Crucially, ANEEL can be used straightaway in India’s existing Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors, unlocking India’s vast thorium reserves (nearly 1 million tonnes, about 25% of the global total). #Nuclear #Energy #Reforms 🇮🇳🤝🇺🇸☢️
