NITI Aayog member and scientist V. K. Saraswat on Sunday suggested that the government should focus on setting up small modular reactors as it would help meet India’s energy needs and also in replacing aging thermal power plants.
Saraswat also said nuclear power plant projects which have been set up under the fleet mode production, should be accelerated, so that India is able to meet base load requirements at the earliest.
“We are suggesting that in future we should go for small modular reactors which will be able to meet this (energy) requirements in a distributed manner.”
