ITER EXPERIMENT ADVANTAGE TO INDIA- thorium based power generation

ITER EXPERIMENT ADVANTAGE TO INDIA- thorium based power generation
why cant be the answer D ?? The question specifically asked what is the advantage to india but not what is ITER!
Remember india is having largest thorium reserves.Pls tell your views friends.Check this link also http://news.statetimes.in/indias-nuclear-generation-increase-three-times-2024/

    kyon Fusion nuclear reactor se india ko fayda nahi hoga kya? advantage r many of fusion reactor.
    2ndly what is stopping india to moving thorium based reactor? Even after ITER success that problem will remain. The problem is sufficient stockpile of plutonium. That's why 3 stage nuclear program-me.
    waise upsc ki icha :D
  • And some people are saying ki CSE Prelims 2016 ka paper bahut easy tha...

    GHANTAA..

    Abhi result ki date Nazdeek to aane do, zyadatar Questions doubtful ho jaayenge..
  • aur us tarah se toh fission reactor ki efficiency bhi badh jayegi kyonki tab toh jo bhi fertile material bhi honge unko bhi fissile bana denge neutron mar ke :|
    ans - a,c or d.
  • As per ur link provided, one paragraph says about neutron sources obtained from fusion projects could be used for thorium as fuel since india has large reserve

    I might go with it, even I marked it (@) , ultimately upsc will decide
  • yes upsc tricked.. the answer will be definately D.....thorium is rich in india ,,,,which we are unable to harness and depending on uranium from australia and canada

    Pahle bhai ! Thorium wala options 1 hai D main fusion reactor,
  • YES ur ryt ...sorry i got confused THORIUM is the point finally

    When the question says "thermonuclear", there is hardly any scope to think, except in the direction of "fusion".

    It ultimately depnds from where upsc has set the questions , if that have set from any article which doesn't have thorium cycle then answer is D because upsc gave all other 3 options related to nuclear so that u might get confused but straight forward is that fusion is far superior than fission process and thorium is in fission process not in a fusion, so answer is D.

    And i read everything given on ITER site and nothing is mentioned about thorium. Its a different process all together and if some can use thorium there is no need for ITER to get a sucess in near future.

    Thorium cycle has been discussed since last 3 decades but its fusion which doesnt have got any sucess regarding nuclear reactor so obviously fusion is the new demand in coming future so every body is focusiing on it. Fusion has less leakage problem compared to thorium and thats why it has been demanded by countries to go for some reasearch on it as its much more benefical to mankind.
