- For a sustainable development a model has been evolved for electricity production. This is summarised in the table shown above.
- The contributions from coal, Hydrocarbon, Hydel, Renewable and Nuclear are 46%, 16%, 8%, 4% and 26% respectively. Thus nuclear has to grow fast if we have to meet our energy demands.

Nuclear Perspective
- For the projections given, if we have to succeed, several new technologies have to be demonstrated.
- The foremost among them is the Fast Breeder.
- Demonstration of Accelerated Driven Systems with thorium as fuel.
- It is important to note that India has to take the leadership role as the rest of the world does not have much interest in thorium based cycle.
- Having understood the need for accelerated growth of nuclear power, let us now learn the fundamentals of the subject.
- Before going into the details, a small overview is given to appreciate the details of the subject that will be taught.
