Thorium Power.

India waalon kya hua hamare dream ka?

China gives green light to its first thorium-powered nuclear reactor

Technology has several advantages over uranium reactors, including better safety, reduced waste, improved fuel efficiency and suitability for use in arid areas.

It is ten years or more it takes to build a reactor with Thorium fuel especially when too many reliable technologies are to invented for the Thorium reactor. There is nothing and nowhere to steal or copy technology.
In India the Thorium reactor is under construction for the last 5 years. Another one or two and it will be operational.

When will the fast breeder come online. Its like the flying car/ fusion plant that's keep on getting delayed!!

the delay is most likely not happening because of technical challenges, but due to geopolitical challenges, in other words, weimerican challenges.

I can't believe it .. this reactor was starting to seem like the fusion reactor .. always only 2 years away .. and it's good that gobhi is going to give prominence to this feat .

cant blame them . building the stainless steel containtment unit and lid took a lot of time .

I thought that it was issues with the sodium coolant system .

Ya'll Nibbiars Just meet a BARC Engineer says India Three Stage development is one third development completed.

Whole 3 stage is one-third done or 3rd stage is one-third complete?

 

[Haldilal]

Ya'll Nibbiars The Third stage one.

 

[new salem]

Ya'll Nibbiars The Third stage one.

So

Ya'll Nibbiars The Third stage one.

stage 1 and 2 are completed and 33 percent of the 3rd stage is completed?

yea bro that was pic of pressure cooker bowl and lid from flipkart

Unfortunately it is not possible to believe anything that barc says about timelines and progress even in Official statements .
It's is not entirely their fault the nuclear industry moves at glacial speeds worldwide .
Besides the 3rd stage needs a lot of u233 from 2nd stage which is still not in commercial production.

‘Atomic reactor science is more difficult than any other science (danger of reaction going out of hand or contamination). Everything has to be invented in India. Nobody else gives you a hand for a price. That is why timelines are harder to set.

i think chinese have a prototype 3rd stage reactor . we should steal from them or do a collaboration .

So there was some conspiracy theory of our thorium monazite sand being siphoned by "some deep state" to make India's thorium plan fail. So is it just rubbish or real?

This is true, world wide other than russia and china nobody has figured out nuclear at scale. All western reactors are facing comedy level delays and issues .

No . They have a prototype version of the PFBR . Even though the P stands for prototype it is intended for commercial use ... which is not the case with the chinese reactor.
