Nuclear energy production in India is set to get a major boost with the department of atomic energy (DAE) giving nod to set up the country’s own thermo-nuclear fusion reactor. India is presently one of the seven partner countries in world’s biggest energy research project – the ITER – that is coming up in Cadarche, France. All nuclear plants in India at present are fission-based. Generating electricity through fusion is comparatively economical and safer.
