11. Key drivers for achieving India’s 100 GW nuclear power ambition.

Author

Aswal, D. K. and Chandra, Anirudh

Subjects
*NUCLEAR energy, *FUEL cycle, *SUSTAINABILITY, *TRADE regulation, *RENEWABLE energy sources, *HEAVY water reactors
Abstract

The article focuses on India's ambitious plans to expand its nuclear energy capacity in response to growing energy demands and climate goals. Topics include the role of nuclear power as a reliable and clean baseload energy source, the development stages of India's nuclear program including the use of pressurized heavy water reactors and fast breeder reactors, and the challenges in scaling up to meet the 100 GW target by 2047.

13. Use of renewable energy in global energy mix and the challenges associated with their large-scale deployment.

Author

Singhal, Pallavi, Chandra, Anirudh, Pulhani, Vandana, Kumar, A. Vinod, and Aswal, Dinesh Kumar

*RENEWABLE energy sources, *ENERGY consumption, *CLIMATE change, *ENERGY industries, *POTENTIAL energy, *GLOBAL cooling
Abstract

Energy is the need for the future, and to fulfill this need, the use of renewable energy is a must. Furthermore, to counter the problem of global warming and climate change, the transition toward unconventional sources of energy is a requirement. Total global energy is majorly used in three sectors, namely, heating and cooling, transport, and electricity; however, the use and growth of renewable energy among these sectors are different. In this article, we discuss the potential of renewable energy in these sectors, the challenges associated with their large-scale deployment, and the possible solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

19. A study on optimisation of vehicle allocation for evacuation during a site emergency at a nuclear power plant

Author

Chandra, Anirudh, Seshadri, Murali, and Chaudhury, Probal

Abstract

Indian nuclear power plants have graded engineered safety features because of which accidents with large scale consequences are highly improbable. However, regulatory requirements state the necessity of a site evacuation following a site emergency or an off-site emergency. Planning for this emergency requires allocation of evacuating vehicles. This study provides a simplified model of evacuation, with focus on minimising the travel time. The vehicle allocation was considered to be an optimisation problem. Mixed integer linear programming (MILP) was used to solve this constrained optimisation problem for a particular nuclear facility site. Different evacuation modes were formulated and the evacuation travel times for each mode were estimated. The most reasonable mode of evacuation was found to be a simultaneous supply of vehicles from vehicle depot to facilities, followed by a sequential evacuation of each facility to the exit. This solution reduces unnecessary congestion at exits and also reduces the travel time.

20. Revisiting radiation realities.

Author

Aswal, Dinesh K. and Chandra, Anirudh

Subjects
*NUCLEAR reactors, *RADIATION, *RADIATION exposure, *DNA repair, *NUCLEAR energy, *QUANTUM tunneling
Abstract

The article discusses the reevaluation of nuclear power's role in global energy security amidst challenges faced by renewable energy sources, emphasizing the need to revisit radiation realities. Topics include critiques of the Linear No Threshold (LNT) model, conservative radiation regulations, and potential hormetic effects of low-dose radiation exposure, urging a shift towards evidence-driven policies.
