a grad student!

Isn’t that old news? That paper in ‘Physics of Fluids’ was published a year back. Anyway, that was a phenomenal research by Dr. Jagadeesh & Dr. KPJ Reddy’s groups. Last time I heard, DRDO was contemplating using this technology on Indian missiles (re-entry vehicles of...

The cost mentioned in the article needn't be accurate. Let us wait for an official confirmation. Even if the figure is right, it s got be for the upgraded version. Remember, the report also says this-"each aircraft could cost 10 per cent more". Now 20k crore for an order of 50 base version MKIs...

I think that s how it will be. Getting a base version first and then getting it upgraded doesn't make sense. Maybe that explains the high cost as well (upwards of 20k crore, from the article). I don't think it will have any affect on the type of aircraft that the IAF chooses. The RFP is...

My dear good fellow that is not the point! The sustenance of nuclear power generation in India depends on imported nuclear fuel (till the time we are able to master AHWRs) and not on imported technologies. We can very easily achieve our target of generating 20 GWe of nuclear power with...

We are paying 1.2 billion dollars to the US for their reactors, the 2000+ MWe electricity that those reactors will generate and lifetime supply of nuclear fuel for those imported reactors! If we were to build reactors of such capacity, from where would we get fuel to operate them? Now get it...

Speak for yourself! Pakistan may 'not yet know how to make civilian reactors'. India has been building reactors for civilian use since early 70s. Indigenous PHWRs generate over 4000 MWe of electricity in India. We are also building indigenous FBRs & AHWRs. We are importing LWR/PWRs because we...
