The Indian Energy Resource Position Explains Our Strategy For Deployment Of Nuclear Energy
{"Image DocumentName": "The Indian Energy Resource Position Explains Our Strategy For Deployment Of Nuclear Energy", "Image ImageDescription": "If the level of our per capita electricity consumption is raised to the level of a developed country (~5000 kWh/person/year) and only a single energy resource is to be used: Domestic extractable coal reserves will last for < 13 years. Uranium in open cycle will last for ~ 0.5 year. Uranium in closed cycle with FBRs will last for ~ 73 years. Known reserves of thorium in closed cycle with. breeder reactors will last for > 250 years. Entire renewable energy (including. hydroelectric capacity) will be sufficient for < 70 days/ year. Total solar collection area (based on MNES. estimate 20 MW/km2) needed will be at least ~ sq. km. It is obvious that for long term energy security nuclear energy based on thorium has to be a prominent component of Indian energy mix.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
