Why don't you help me out then? Teach me maybe?You need to read about nuclear weapon design. You don't seem to know what you are talking about.

Dont jump on imported reactors....Pakistan can't even make bicycle.....

What are you scoffing at? India's reactors and technology is hardly indigenous:
India adopted a two-track nuclear program using enriched
uranium and reprocessed plutonium, based on technology
supplied by Canada, France, the United States, and the Soviet
Union.
Canada’s role was of primary importance. The Canadian
government sold India four 220MW pressurized heavy water
reactors at give-away prices as part of its foreign aid program.
Equally important, Canada supplied India with blueprints and
technology for nuclear plant design and local production of
components, as well as the key technology to produce and enrich
nuclear fuel. In addition, Canada also trained a sizeable cadre of
Indian nuclear scientists and technicians. When India conducted
its first nuclear test in 1974, Canada, deeply embarrassed, cut off
all nuclear transactions with India, but it was too late. The
nuclear genie was out of the bottle.
France helped India build the heavy-water plants at Baroda and
Tuticorin, and the fast breeder reactor at Kalpakkam (all three
unsafeguarded), and trained large numbers of Indian nuclear
engineers and technicians.
The unsafeguarded heavy-water plants at Nangal and Talcher
were supplied by Germany, along with the strategic metals
beryllium and lithium, the latter used to produce tritium, an
element that boosts the power of nuclear explosions. Norway
illegally sold India 26 tons of heavy water, which was diverted
through Switzerland and Romania. The Swiss helped build the
heavy-water plants at Baroda and Tuticorin.
The Soviet Union covertly provided India 80 tons of heavy water
and a large cadre of nuclear technicians and advisors for the
important Madras and Dhruva reactors. Britain supplied turbine
generator pumps and sent repair technicians, Sweden special steel
plates and flash x-ray devices. The United States unwittingly
supplied heavy water for the Canadian Cirus reactor that
produced the plutonium used in India’s first nuclear device.
