India's Nuclear Energy Programme: Future Plans, Prospects and Concerns
Nuclear energy is today seen as a major contentious area where India’s technology policy is concerned. The volume presents state-of-the-art discussions by experts on diverse issues concerned with India’s nuclear energy programme. The experts debate public concerns like nuclear reactor safety and radiation hazards, technical issues like the use of breeder reactors and close fuel cycles, and legal issues like regulatory bodies and legislative acts as well as international conventions and rules of nuclear use and safety. They throw light on the environmental impact including effects on surrounding populations in case of operating nuclear power plants. They discuss India’s access to international uranium and fuel cycle market in detail. They present both points of view—of those forwarding the nuclear agenda and others having reservations about the programme.
