TAILSPIN: How the 1974 'peaceful test' retarded nuclear power with Jairam Ramesh | Part 2

In Part 2 of the the history of India’s nuclear programme, we discuss the impact of the 1974 nuclear test on India’s civilian nuclear programme. Whether the consequent technological embargo dealt a body blow to Homi Bhabha’s three phase programme that was premised on sufficient uranium to tide India over until it could extract its vast reserves of thorium? Why electricity from nuclear reactors have been insufficient and whether the SHANTI bills encouragement of small modular reactors and private sector nuclear plant operators is viable. Guest: Jairam Ramesh Hosts: Jacob Koshy and Sobhana K Nair Recorded by Tayyab Hussain and Aniket Singh Chauhan Produced and edited by Jude Weston
