Qn 106
The current
natural
Uranium
reserves in
the country
are around
50000 metric
tonnes,
primarily
concentrated
in the
Jadugarha
mines in
Bihar. The
country’s
Thorium
reserves
stand at
300000 MT,
primarily
located in
the Monazite
sands of
Kerala.
Natural
Uranium
contains
only 0.7%
U-235, which
means that
the
utilizable
fuel
reserves are
extremely
low in case
of Uranium
as fuel.
India
actually
imports a
major
proportion
of its
requirements
every year.
Indian
Thorium
reserves in
the monazite
sand of
Kerala
amount to
1000 BTCE
(Billion
tonnes coal
equivalent).Our
coal
reserves are
at 190 BTCE.
The Uranium
– 235
reserves
compare at 1
BTCE while
Uranium fuel
which can be
used in fast
breeder
reactors
stand at
around 130
BTCE.
Comparatively,
Thorium is
of much
higher
strategic
interest for
the country,
given its
abundance
and close to
140 times
more
effective.
The risk of
proliferation
is also very
low as U-233
is produced
along with
host of
other
isotopes
like U-234
and U-236.
Separating
bomb-grade
U-233 shall
require
highly
sophisticated
isotope
separation
techniques.

Qn 111
Lion's share
of the
states water
needs is
supplied by

of which 41
are west
flowing
and 3
east flowing.
