<br/><br/> In recent times India’s growing energy demand, scant power supply and obligations under UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) is a big factor behind its program on increasing nuclear energy. Despite having constant support of Government since independence, on the grass root level a huge gap is seen between the ambition and implementation. Further, the difficulties are not only at the stage of planning and execution but also relating to public acceptance of the same owing to lack of knowledge and nuclear hazards such as radiation and nuclear meltdown. Subsequent to unfortunate events in Fukushima and Chernobyl the perception behind nuclear power plants has changed a lot. But the recent shortage of coal across the globe refueled the discussion on nuclear energy and brought back the memories of nuclear power renaissance which took place prior to few decades from now. This paper is an attempt to look into the nuclear energy plan of India, its viability in the current scenario, working difficulties of the same and future prospects of nuclear energy in the light of India’s commitment to ensuring power supply and also at the same time need to sooth the wounds of climate change.- Reproduced <br/><br/><br/>http://www.iipabiharbranch.org/<br/>
