Can anyone tell me how many nuclear reactors we are making Indigenoulsy???
Ok how many reactors(commercial +military) we are building or plan to build??
Only 14 reactors have been placed under IAEA safeguards ...
They are for civilian purpose.
rest all outside purview of IAEA can be used for military purpose ...that's why they are not under IAEA in first place .
