The three stages of Indian Nuclear Program
STAGE-1:
Construction of pressurised heavy water reactors. These
reactors use natural Uranium. Spent fuel from these reactors is reprocessed to
obtain Plutonium.
STAGE-II:
Construction of fast breeder reactors fuelled by Plutonium
produced in stage-I. These reactors would also breed U-233 from Thorium.
STAGE-III:
Construction of power reactors using U-233/Thorium as fuel.
