| Summary, etc. biblio.abstract | The nuclear industry made a beginning with critical facilities and research reactors, and then moved<br/>on to power reactors. Initially, the reactor size was small but was gradually increased to 700–<br/>1600 MW range to realise the economy of scale. Lessons learnt from various incidents in nuclear<br/>reactors have been incorporated into the designs of operating third-generation reactors. The fourth<br/>generation of reactors where the goal includes breeding, utilisation of thorium, achieving high temperature for hydrogen generation and improving cycle efficiency is going through a developmental<br/>process that could take a long time to realise. Public perception of nuclear energy has fluctuated<br/>over time. The present perception is quite positive because of concerns arising from climate change.<br/>At COP-28 in December 2023, 25 nations declared their intent to triple nuclear-installed capacity<br/>by mid-century. At COP-29, six more countries joined the group of 25. India plans to triple nuclearinstalled capacity much earlier than mid-century. The Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Government of India, has projected a target of 100 GW by 2050, which is more than ten times increase<br/>compared to the present installed capacity. |
