Topical Issue on 'INDIA'S REACTORS'

摘要

It can be no doubt, whatsoever, that in the very near future India will play an ever increasing dominant global role in economy and politics. India and China, these two giants of 2.5 billion people - dormant for a long time - have awakened, and have started a breathtaking, staggering economical rise in the last few years. Since energy is the motor of economy, it is more than important to watch and scrutinize how the Indian giant will supply and provide its immense needs for energy. India has - and knows it very well - only one choice: using both of its own natural energy resources: coal and thorium, i.e.: using fossil and nuclear energy. In this Topical Issue, we are looking at India's vast efforts to develop its civilian nuclear capacity.
