Originally published in 1983. The Indian nuclear power programme,
both the earliest in the Third World and also one of the most
comprehensive, is an important and instructive subject for a
wide-ranging and detailed study. This book examines the origins and
rationale of the Indian programme in the context of energy
resources and consumption. It traces the progress of its historical
development and leads up to an evaluation of its performance, in
both technical and economic terms of both individual reactors and
the programme as a whole. In addition, the book discusses India's
nuclear explosion of 1974 and the possibilities for novel
developments in nuclear power and other energy sources, such as
coal, biogas, hydro and solar power. The author then sets the
Indian programme into the world picture by comparing developments
in India with those of the Third World (including developments in
China and South Africa) and discusses the overall prospects for the
Third World. This extremely informative account will appeal to
readers with interest in energy, science, technology and Third
World developments.
