are we getting enough transparent tat is going to harm us

well I don't think that just by looking at a picture someone can copy it. There is much more to that.

Anyway this is not a top secret project. This is India's second fast breeder reactor known as PFBR( Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor) with project name BHAVINI ( Bhartiya Vidyut Nigam Limited) which is under construction in Kalpakkam.

thx man, nice pictures, would like to see some more projects progressing, right now we are just signing agreements.

This project is supposed to be completed by 2011 with criticality achieved. This is the second stage of Indian three stage nuclear program as envisaged by Dr. Homi Bhabha long back.

Anyway Screaming Skull has posted a lot on Indian civil nuclear program in one thread ( I don't remember which one), you can get more information from there.

India, Britain set to sign nuclear deal

A declaration on civil nuclear cooperation between India and Britain appears to be on the anvil when commerce minister Anand Sharma.

In an exclusive interview, Mandelson confirmed: "We are indeed working with the Indian government on closer relations in the sharing of civil nuclear technology. I hope that I will be able to sign a civil nuclear cooperation declaration with minister Sharma early this year."

Mandelson was said to be disappointed that such an agreement was not concluded during his visit to Delhi last month. According to a source at the Indian High Commission here, India objected to a non-proliferation clause in the draft submitted by the UK.

However, even if the mentioned declaration is signed next month, this cannot become operational until New Delhi changes its policy of restricting nuclear collaboration to public sector entities. Most potential British suppliers of technology for generation of nuclear energy are in the private sector.

The same hurdle is, reportedly, holding up implementation of contracts with US companies. In contrast, such firms in France and Russia are generally government owned.

Mandelson, seen as the most powerful person in the British cabinet after Prime Minister Gordon Brown and an architect of New Labour, a concept that catapulted the Labour party to office in 1997 after 18 years in opposition — has rapidly acquired a reputation of being an enthusiast on India.
