«India continues to adhere to the policy of strengthening the role of nuclear energy for economic growth. However, she pays special attention to security issues». This statement was made on June 27, 2013 by R.K.Sinha, the Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission of India at the International Conference on Nuclear Energy in the XXI century held in St. Petersburg. He stressed that the reduction of fossil fuel resources and the need to transition to energy sources with low carbon content, which is related to the problems of global warming, forced India to look for alternatives that would meet the needs of India’s energy requirements. In this context, nuclear energy is a very important option.
