Farmer’s Friendly Nuclear Energy based Technologies
Energy is essential for the survival and growth of modern human civilisation. All available sources of energy, therefore, must be optimally developed and deployed to meet the short as well as long term energy needs of our country. Nuclear energy and related technologies are the safest options that can be used in diversified fields of agriculture and health for peaceful purposes. Many misconceptions and rumours are associated with the nuclear energy based technologies, like nuclear energy fosters nuclear weapons, nuclear radiation is deadly and nuclear reactors are not safe for human- beings and environment etc. This technological awareness gap of understanding nuclear energy and its applications is the most challenging area in India today. India faces formidable challenges in meeting its energy needs and providing adequate energy of desired quality to consumers in a sustainable manner at a reasonable cost.
