India’s Nuclear Energy Programme

The nuclear energy programme in India was launched around the time of independence under the leadership of Homi J. Bhabha.

Objective:  To provide safe and reliable electric power for the country’s social and economic progress and to be self reliant in all aspects of nuclear technology.

India has adopted a three stage strategy of nuclear power generation:

Stage 1 Pressurised Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR):
The PHWR is a pressure tube type reactor using heavy water (D2O) moderator, heavy water coolant and natural uranium dioxide fuel. 

Stage 2 Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR): India’s second stage of nuclear power generation uses the Pu-239 obtained from the first stage reactor operation, as the main fissile element of fuel core in fast breeder reactors (FBR). 

Stage 3 Thorium based Reactor: Thorium utilization is the long term objective of the Indian Nuclear Power Programme.
In this stage Breeder reactors are based on Thorium- Uranium-233 cycle.
