Nuclear Power : An inevitable option for sustainable development IAEA Scientific Forum 2007 on Global Challenges and Development of Atomic Energy, Vienna September 18-19, 2007 Anil Kakodkar, Chairman, Atomic Energy Commission, India

Greater confidence in developing societies moving up on the socio- economic development path Vastly enhanced energy demand and buying power Sustainability of energy resources (even Uranium in once-through mode inadequate) Global environment on the cliff edge Evolving paradigm

Indian target - in global context Indian target - in global context (Source of data: BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2007) Target: 7000 TW(e)h + Requirement for fossil fluid fuel replacement

The pathways for utilisation of nuclear fuel resources Fertile 233 U Thorium Fuelled Reactors- AHWRs, FBRs, HTRs, MSRs 239 PuFBRs Nature Conversion in Reactor 232 Th 238 U (99.3%) Fissile 235 U (0.7%) PHWRs LWRs Uranium Thorium Reprocessing of Spent Fuel Thorium cannot straightway be used as nuclear fuel as it has no fissile isotopes. Fast Breeder Reactors operating with Plutonium as fuel, produce more Plutonium than they consume.

Development of an optimum strategy for utilisation of given nuclear resources 10 GWe for 40 yrs from PHWRs using uranium in once- through cycle 174 GWe for yrs from FBRs using recycled uranium & Plutonium 300 GWe for more than 250 yrs from FBRs using Plutonium-thorium and from reactors using thorium- 233 U Nat. U PHWRS RU-Pu based FBRS Th-Pu based FBRS Th-U233 MSRs Optimum time for introduction of thorium on large scale (After introduction of short- doubling-time FBRs)

Global Nuclear Renaissance Safety Environment Non-Proliferation (Technology solutions backed up by institutional control and responsible behaviour) Enhanced security risk to future generations in case of direct disposal of spent fuel (Plutonium mines) Tensions due to energy insecurity Reformation of global thinking necessary Consensus on closed nuclear fuel cycle Risks v/s However, inclusive partnerships on objective, reliable and predictable basis with holistic mutual understanding and trust is a pre-requisite
