Anil Kakodkar: Nuclear Power Should be Scaled Up

Kakodker Sahab, India's old and bold Hero, thankyou Gangadhar ji inviting legend .

INDIA WAS ONLY ACCEPTED TO BE A PARTNER AFTER INDIA EXPLODED THE HYDROGEN BOMB IN 1998. INDIA HAS THE MOST EFFICIENT TRITIUM PRODUCTION IN THE WORLD. TRITIUM IS DUAL USE PRODUCT.
HE IS A REAL LEADER/MANAGER.

Legend has it that during the signing ceremony of the US-India civil nuclear deal in 2008, US President George W. Bush personally recognized Dr. Kakodkar as "a very tough & determined negotiator, who structured an outstanding deal for his country".

We would like to see more of such informative interviews and episodes. Thanks

He is a gem in the crown of India . He gave his full life to develop India nuclear power .

This is the area where our focus should be.

Absolutely correct conclusion

Extremely informative interview. Dr. Kakodkar is very candid and gives very good insight. Jai Hind🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Its always a pleasure to listen to Dr Anil Kakodkar. No hype only facts and measured words but firm in his convictions 👋👋

Excellent talk. Thank you.

Thank you Dr Anil Kakodkar Sir for highlighting the importance of Fast Breeder reactors in the overall India’s programme of “Atmanirbhar Bharat” and achieving energy security by breeding more nuclear fuel than what is consumed; and the need to enlarge the nuclear programme by participation of other PSUs apart from NPCIL, Bhavini, NTPC etc.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR A LONGTIME.

I AGREE! INDIA SHOULD HURRY WITH MAKING ITS HEAVY WATER REACTOR. INCREASE PRODUCT- ION. MAKE THEM ON A LINE. TARGET: AT LEAST THREE REACTORS EVERY YEAR.

Such an elightened discussion on India's current and futue nuclear programs!

Very insightful discusssion. Continue your gist program

Good information 👍.

What about a *_nuclear rocket engine_* for deep space missions beyond Earth orbit?
What's possible in that regard?

Good Content. Thank You

India should focus on molten salt reactors and divert all solar and wind spending to such a program.

India's goal should indeed be reliable energy independence. Solar and wind are too intermittent. Fossil fuels have to be imported too much, we should look for more undersea. We do have a lot of Thorium, but there the weakest link in the chain will be one or two fast breeders.

More budget should be allocated for scientific education and projects

Thermonuclear reactor is still not streamlined to make it profitable. Problem is the assumption scientist assume plasma flow in certain way. But in practical plasma doesn't follow a certain pattern. It is a variable constantly changing.

Would love to see 3rd stage by 2030

I hope our policy makers are listening and thinking.

USA, Russia and China already have developed fast breading reactor. Because of abundance of Uranium and Plutonium in Russia, China and USA, they don't need fast breading reactor.

Thorium reactors???????

How can AI technology will be beneficial for devoloping to next generation nuclear technology

IT DOESNT COST MUCH FOR INDUSTRY TO RAMP UP PRODUCTION FOR THE PRESSURIZED HEAVY WATER REACTORS. THE LIGHT WATER REACTOR ON OTHER HAND NEEDS MORE COMPETENT PEOPLE AND INVESTMENTS TO INCEASE PRODUCTION. GOV. SHOULD INCENTIFY INDUSTRY TO UNDERTAKE THIS VITAL STEP FOR INDIA. MASSIVE NATIONAL EFFORT TO BE UNDERTAKEN BY GOVERNMENT.

Is the Hydrogen bomb actually a fusion technology ? And if it is why are we celebrating net energy gain on fusion since last year only ?
