Small Is Beautiful: The New Nuclear Future | India Today Energy Summit

Dr. Ravi Grover, a member of India's Atomic Energy Commission, provides a measured outlook on the development of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). In a discussion, Grover states that for cost-effective electricity, India's strategy should be to 'go for as large reactors as possible'. He characterizes the current global interest in SMRs as being at the 'hype of expectations', which will eventually be followed by a 'trough of disillusionment' before a realistic level of application is found. The conversation also addresses the government's plan to amend the Atomic Energy Act for greater private sector participation and security concerns, with Grover noting, 'We cannot scatter our nuclear assets all around the country'. The panel discusses India's goal to increase its energy availability to improve its Human Development Index (HDI) while pursuing decarbonization.
