India Atomic Programme

India already has a highly advanced atomic energy programme and in an effort to control carbon emissions the plan is to triple generation of carbon free nuclear energy to 22,000 megawatts by 2032.

The Hollywood movie Oppenheimer is a biopic of the scientist who made the atom bomb for America, but who made India's atom bombs?Let us revisit the hard work and sacrifices of those Indian nuclear heroes.

India has asked Iran to continue to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in the performance of verification activities related to its nuclear programme and addressing all outstanding issues.

Top US lawmakers and experts had expressed concern over Pakistan's proliferation history and its nexus with rogue nations like North Korea in helping them acquire nuclear weapons, a month before Pyongyang successfully conducted its first hydrogen bomb test.

With serious allegations of leaky nuclear reactors and poor security levelled against India's nuclear programme, Atomic Energy Commission chief Sekhar Basu brushes aside these charges saying this is a "well designed agenda" to "stall or delay" the country's development.

The Lok Sabha today passed, by voice vote, a bill to amend the Atomic Energy Act to "overcome difficulties encountered in the setting up of new nuclear projects and enhancement of nuclear power generation".

Stating that India has "one of the largest nuclear power programmes" among developing nations, a US-based think-tank has said that by the end of 2014 India had enough weapon-grade plutonium to possess an estimated stock of atomic weapons in the range of 75-125.

After nearly two decades of nuclear competition with Pakistan, India with the several long-range ballistic missiles in development is seemingly now paying attention to its future strategic relationship with China, a think-tank report has said.

The negotiations between the P51 nations and Iran on the latter's nuclear programme failed to reach an agreement before the deadline of July 20 and agreed to extend the talks till November 24 for brokering an agreement.

The government has said it was ratifying an agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to expand oversight of its civilian nuclear programme, in a move aimed at unblocking a major nuclear partnership with the United States.

With Iran complying the commitment on its controversial nuclear weapons programme, the US President Barack Obama has suspended his action on Iranian oil sanctions for the next six months.

Expressing concern over the continuing buildup of nuclear weapons in South Asia, the US has asked India and Pakistan to restrain their atomic and missile programmes and play a positive role in the global non-proliferation community.
