Well india's 220 MW PHWR had created world record for running 962 unbroken days and this is even a bigger advanced version than that.

Just a suggestion, in videos which are rich in data, like this one, do consider floating numbers on the screen. This would help us viewers get a better understanding.

Why the air-quotes around "safest" at 2:19? Is it not a credible assertion? Also, a correction - nuclear energy, while having the lowest carbon footprint AND safety in terms of both carbon emissions per MW-hr of energy and deaths per MW-hr of energy produced is NOT a renewable source because it is ultimately a finite resource. There is a difference between non-fossil fuel and renewable. The two are not the same.

Technically even solar is not renewable since sun will exhaust in 5 billion years

Not completely true. Now most of nuclear fuel is getting reprocess too and used again.

Excellent. Just one correction - nuclear power generation is not "renewable". Not producing CO2 doesn't make it renewable.

Gujarat is prone to earthquakes. Need to ensure no Fukushima type disaster can occur there as a consequence of earthquakes or natural disasters.

Congrats scientists and engineers

2:56 "... and it (nuclear energy) is an important RENEWABLE energy source"- wrong, NOT RENEWABLE. Generation of nuclear electrical energy leaves far less carbon footprint with far less emission of greenhouse gases compared to conventional coal/gas fired thermal power stations but nuclear energy is not renewable as the nuclear plants consumes radioactive fuel turning them incapable of causing a radioactive chain reaction (even if the spent material is still radioactuve which they pretty much are) and there is no NATURAL process (as in carbon sequestration by plants being a natural process) of renewing spent material back into enriched radioactive material.

Solar, hydro, wind turbine etc are renewable energy. Non-fossil fuel does not necessarily imply renewable energy.

Great narration

Lets see 🙏🏻😊

Amazing news

Neutron should have been uncharged. Non electric is not same as uncharged.

Is their no one to protest 😮

Sadly, the dream of having a thorium fueled reactor is still decades away. India still needs to buy Uranium from abroad, whereas it has large Thorium reserves.

India's thorium reactor has always been 30 years away.

Throium nuclear reactors are a pipe dream, they aren't technically feasible. We tried with BHAVANI reactors and they are still under research for over 50 yrs No other countries in the world had this tech.

It's unfortunate that people in India even from scientific community doesn't understand the know-how of Nuclear power plants . Even if we are blessed with thorium , we need to import Uranium to sustain the first stage of our 3 stage programme. The by products of first stage will find It's path to second stage where a 600 MW fast breeder reactor will use plutonium 239 as blanket material. And In the last stage a 300 MW thorium fueled reactor along with Pu239 breeded in 2nd stage will be used . So you see It's all a cycle and thus Importing Uranium is necessary even if we get our AHWR critical at any time .

@@peggandwhiskey I fully understand the three stage plan as laid out by Bhabha. It is the speed of implementation, the overly optimistic estimates of the doubling time, and the mining of domestic Uranium reserves, which are disappointing. India is not even at stage II yet.

@@whaddoiknow6519 No Dear , India is at second stage . Earlier this year a 500 MW fast breeder reactor went critical at kalpakkam , TN . You're not getting my point . The thorium reactor we're working upon is with a non nuclear island core design . This greatly reduces the chance of radioactive leakage and any possible disaster like fukushima or chernobyl. No other country has ever developed a Thorium fueled reactor. So even if takes a decade more , that's because of the safety procedures that needs to be taken care of .

Akansha ur so beautiful so elegant just looking like a wow 😍💗💗😀

it is safest kind of energy we produce, unnecessary air quotes

Get ready for new protest 😂

I hope nobody says that all good things happen in gujrat 😂

Great but very late. In a decade or two there will be successful Nuclear Fusion reactors.

Wo sab chalta rahega but you are gorgeous 😍
