The correct option is A 1 only
India’s three-stage nuclear power programme is chalked out based on the domestic resource position of uranium and thorium. The first stage started with setting up of the Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWR) based on natural uranium and pressure tube technology. In the second phase the fissile material base will be multiplied in Fast Breeder Reactors using the plutonium obtained from the PHWRs. The third stage is focused on reactors designed to utilise the large thorium reserves based on thorium-233U fuel cycle. The Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR) has been designed to fulfill the need for the timely development of thorium-based technologies for the entire thorium fuel cycle. The Indian Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR) Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR) is designed and developed to achieve large-scale use of thorium for the generation of commercial nuclear power. This reactor will produce most of its power from thorium, with no external input of uranium 233, in the equilibrium cycle.
The Bharatiya Nabhikiya Vidyut Nigam Ltd. (BHAVINI) is a government-owned corporation of India established in 2004 in Chennai. One of the public sector undertakings, it is wholly owned by the Union Government and is responsible for the construction, commissioning and operation of all Stage II fast breeder reactors envisaged as part of the country’s three stage nuclear power programme.
