With the huge deals Air India is making, I was curious if making commercial engines was easier, may be that's where the first step should be. I couldn't find any answer to this question earlier although I am very sure, it should have come up. Possibly a PPP entity (say with HAL) building commercial ...

OTH, they would be bombed first thus contaminating the area which our side has to abandon. Possibly, also possibly US has this doctrine because they fight long distance wars where enemy has almost no air support. May be the idea is not good for India. I am not aware if these plants can be brought u...

- If they do not win by 2023, NATO production will ramp up and outproduce Russia, which will fight a battle of attrition it cannot win. China has a lot to lose if US wins this war. I know, whether China will help is not a cold headed maths calculation like you did for ammo, do you think it can supp...

On small modular reactors, I believe that they will play an important role in future wars where destruction of infra would be common strategy. Decentralised power generation could be a critical strength. The low hanging fruit could be disaster support or remote bases but this capability seems easy t...

Acclamitisation of troops happens prior to deployment. I am aware. I was hypothesising (without a medical background) if deployment stress could be reduced by providing small qts of O2 for some time during deployment. Again beyond my and possibly most forum members area of expertise. I wrote it jus...

Thank you hNair Sir for the information. It was insightful. I believe the risky RTG uses plutonium since we can never refill the space probes. In Siachen, annual refill would be a luxury compared to today's logistics so I guess much safer alternatives exist. Using nuclear was to reduce the cost of d...

Please no 'ji' for me A radioactive material will continuously generate heat. It is a heat source, unlike diesel/petrol which are to be burned before they can release heat. And ice is a thermal insulator. So the part of ice which is in touch with the container will slowly lose strength and mildly me...

Nuclear Power Plants traditionally had active cooling ie some energy was needed to cool them. We are talking of large 200MW type plants. Latest designs strive to create passive systems, which means that those systems will not melt down even if subsystems fail, there is nothing to manage in temperatu...

Energy density is a factor and so are avalanches. Nothing beats nuclear in energy density. Mass is the densest form of energy. How do we handle other stock say diesel during avlanches. A fully sealed container (with it's integrity intact) which stays warm if lost in an avalanche will start sinking ...

Dexter

For most places the cost does not justify the tech but it is definitely not science fiction. Space probes have used nuclear batteries. For most civilian uses it would be a bad idea to use radioactive devices for space heating, weighing the risks and benefits, but for for military purposes it makes q...

I don't know if this is the right forum for this post but I would like to share my thoughts on the importance of nuclear electricity/heat for India's defence and economic development.

Due to Agnipath scheme, is there a stoppage to regular recruitment of army? I keep hearing conflicting messages At it is peak, the scheme will see 50% of recruitment through Agnipath and the remaining 50% through regular recruitment. That's not correct. All recruitment will be through Agniveer. The...

Vibrations? At what frequency and what power? I am not well versed but I can't think of any component of a nuc power plant causing vibrations. Do you mean EM?

It was heartening to hear the prospects after the HSMC fiasco.

Building an underground tunnel at the LOC/Border can defeat any security measure implemented by us and hence setting up a 2nd line of defence should be given a serious thought. As per my understanding technology is now available to map underground tunnels via probably sonar and is also currently us...

cant mine there.. the snow, ice , rain + terrain moves the mines to unkwon locations and creates a headache Can't we have a 2nd line of defence. A fence probably deeper inside Indian territory but in a feasible position to ensure that terrorists even if they can come in may be a few km but not more

Dexter, you will find the name Bodhidharma in the above. That was the Pallava princess who went from Kanchipuram, Tamilnadu. The reference to Ch'aan is actually Dhyaan (meditation).

You're in the right thread as long as you're talking about the economics of the subject, and not the technical aspects, in which case it goes in the IT thread.

Minimal Fabs allow small scale manufacture of semiconductors. Several advantages include faster prototyping as well as chip optimally designed for special purposes. Sure we can set them up in India and have a thriving ecosystem. https://www.aist.go.jp/sst/en/exhibition/innovation_zone/zone21/index....
