India can build nuclear aircraft carrier, warships: Kakodkar
After the launch of the country"s first indigenously built nuclear submarine, India has the "technical expertise and capability" to build nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and warships, Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Anil Kakodkar has said. "We have the technical expertise and capability to build nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and warships of global standards," Kakodkar said on the sidelines of a function here last night. India is also planning to set up 20 units of indigenous 700 MW of pressurised heavy water (PHWR) type reactor and the Centre has already agreed in principle for four such units for which site and environment clearances have been done, Kakodkar said. India has already developed 220MW, 540MW PHWR type nuclear reactors which are operating successfully and it is possible to have 20 units of 700 MW plants which can run with indigenous natural uranium as well as imported fuel, he said. Since the uranium available in India could supply up to 10,000 MW of electricity, the ambitious 700MW PHWRs are part of the evolutionary development of indigenous design, Kakodkar said.Team Building Gold Coast commented:
