Measures similar to the successful opening of the space sector are also assumed for the atomic energy sector, which is necessary for pure energy and national security, PK Misra, the main secretary of Premiere Narendra Modi, said on Friday.
The government plans to expand the capacity of nuclear energy to 100 Gigawatt (GW) by 2047, Misra said at the BHABHA atom research center (Barc) in Mumbai.

Misra emphasized key announcements in the Union 2024-25 budget, including support for research and development of small modular reactors Bharat, advanced nuclear technologies and planned nuclear energy supplementation with proposed changes to the relevant legislation allowing the private sector to participate.
Misra referred to the proposed changes to the Act on Civil Liability for the 2010 Nuclear Damage Act to attract the investment of the private sector in the nuclear energy sector.
Finance Minister Nirmal Sithaman in his budget speech in 2024 said that nuclear energy is expected to form an important part of the Viksit Bharat energy mix.
The Minister then said that to achieve this goal, the government will cooperate with the private sector to create small reactors, research and develop small modular reactors of Bharat, and develop newer nuclear energy technology. Government £1 Billion Research Fund announced in 2024 will finance these projects.

Misra stressed that nuclear energy is the main opportunity for sustainable growth and clean energy in response to climate challenges. India now has 8.7 GW of nuclear energy production.
Misra recognition that early completion, access to low -cost finance and the use of the private sector’s capabilities is the key to reducing tariffs and improving feasibility and improving feasibility and improving feasibility.
He encouraged scientists to innovate costs in strategies to create a preferred energy source in nuclear energy.
Misra emphasized the importance of strengthening security management, referring to the role of the Regulatory Council for Atomic Energy (Aerb) and the Barc Security Council.
He called for the revision of regulatory mechanisms and investment in further research related to security, especially as the participation of the private sector expands.
He stressed that public confidence in security standards must be the highest priority.
Misra mentioned the strengths of India, such as youth demography, infrastructure expansion and technological achievements, and emphasized the importance of the government’s main principle – elaboration, performing and transformation – in the transformation of the country into a developed nation.
He said that the Indian position of the third largest starting ecosystem with more than 100 unicorn, the range of digital infrastructure, including the UPI processing, which is in 2024-25, is by 2030, and by 2030, and by 2030, and by 2030, and by 2030 are initiatives such as national sending for green hydrogen.

Misra, which emphasized the social impact of nuclear energy, quoted the use of radio isotopes in the technology of cancer care and radiation technologies in wastewater treatment and agriculture storage.
Misra urged the scientific community to commercialize spin-off technology based on research laboratories.
