DAE has been pursing the following 3 stages nuclear power programme :
The first stage comprises setting up of pressurized heavy water reactors
(PHWRs) and associated fuel cycle facilities. In PHWRs natural uranium as
fuel and heavy water as modulator and coolant.
The second stage envisages setting up of fast breeder reactors (FBIs)
backed by reprocessing plants and plutonium based fuel fabrication
plants. Plutonium is produced by irradiation -238.
The third stage is based on the thorium -uranium 233 cycles. Uranium
233 is obtained by irradiation of thorium.
