NPCI is building two 700MW pressurised heavy water reactors (PHWR), including Units 3 and 4 at Kakrapar, where there are two 220MW power plants. Officials say that in July, the fourth unit recorded 97.56% progress.
Wonder why they’re building these instead of thermal coal plants
India has nuclear bomb doesn’t it? The plutonium would be for them I expect. There are more than some nuclear powers around them.
India currently has a plutonium stockpile that would allow them to assemble around 1k plutonium pits for bombs on top of the current hundred or so bombs they have. They’re quite flush with the stuff. Pakistan mostly uses high enriched uranium for bombs.
