if you ask a question today that was the most challenging tossed the humanity has its product and what's this question to a politician we've been asking for a scientist if an OSC into environmentalist perhaps in this case the unanimous then give only one answer and that on cities that the biggest challenge today is to provide energy for the humanity particularly for the developing countries but there's
a lot skins growth potential and at the same time maintain the balance in the environment and mitigate any possibility of climate change this is something which is really accepted by the end does not just the scientific community but also politicians so if you look at they aren't that night you see the distribution of electricity use in the hole was obviously it has a reflection on soft
the population distribution it doesn't tell you the statistics the problem is that if they didn't see that yup I got rid of the Decepticons I'm shown changing wildly from one place to another it's all indicated that the United States is not the highest not only has the highest because they have a lot of hydro electricity so thirteen thousand you know what I want one that is
being about two thousand seven hundred kilowatt hour in their eyes at the level of seven hundred and full but this expedition of the growing population to have a better quality of life would you buy more energy and if you look at not just a statistical Figga but also the real numbers in some cases even today about twenty possible one published and do not have still exists
so some guy and you are the most artistic to going to emphasize the fact that they have not even seven hundred good or deliberate zero kilo echo and in case of Indian population you can see that number about two hundred million people brought have access to it so what is going to happen in the next twenty years you know in countries like India or China that
has been very large scale economic growth and all these economic growth can be sustained if you provided it's so the next twenty years have this eight to nine percent economic growth which has been I'm in Austin that in India for lost the get out more if it is then then you will see that remote from present level of over two twenty megawatt installed capacity to something
close to a forum for Dayton for for them because in energy and that's not good represent CO two production of about three to four million tons what about what about his being done pretty so that's the real challenge so what is the solution nor does the dissolution comes from the primary energy sources it is solar wind and nuclear but rather dull but despite religious sources there
have to be classified into two classes one is distributed and intermittent the other nuclear which is very concentrated and fun to us it's very obvious to understand that because sun doesn't shine on the day neither wind blows but the new player has a very high capacity factor and if you look at the kind of distribution unicredit about five thousand square kilometer of media to get to
it then he did know what Ben thousand megawatt installation by wind sold out about four hundred kilometers speculum into what is nuclear can do the job in a box to split look at the average capacity factor the difficult is the big about it oppressive the fact that in wind and solar is about twenty to twenty five percent of the nuclear it has been proven to set
technology which has been proven Alice over ninety percent the process of nuclear fission I'm not getting anything new to this audience you all know about what is nuclear fission you have a huge protective five nuclear and neutron comes it becomes to thirty six and unstable nucleus breaks up and provides energy and new drugs please also give them passes to the new drugs at a speed because
without this is not possible to establish a chain reaction and one very important than simple fact remember is just one gram of hidden empathetic five if a Barney that day you can support one middle what concise one meal a day images produced and this is how the whole chain reaction on receipts and the very bad you see the most important point is a number of neutrons
at the gym that did broke every single patient process problem is that you identify who had just that nuclei which nature has given us it cannot really sustain the nuclear energy also for a long time so the solution the men's but is it not possible to utilize the other part of your natural in him naturally then I'm convinced less than one percent approve of the device
but demanding ninety nine percent plus is uranium two thirty eight and that gets converted into plutonium which can be fun begin same way the other element discoideum which is two thirty two if it picks one neutron then it was over to union protected see yet another is I like so so the moment to consider not only to improve to divide but also the UN protected city
and who's on the input that denying all alone fissionable my novel material then you'll find that the images stopped that indeed that the water has is really sufficient bugs sustaining energy supply not just two centuries if you two millennia so this was the hope of the first generation nuclear scientist who has worked in several countries in the fifties but now because of the many other issues
came up their nuclear program had slowed down in several countries but again there's a revival of interest particularly from the point of view of politicization because put him is very abundant is four times more abundant that defeating him and put him results of an easy available like the example that I'm saying yeah it's available as in the big sand in Canada and is a huge reserve
of podium in India in many other places in Scandinavian countries and the stuff about this typically four times that of uranium in the water but almost except thought that he's important issue about before the cycle if we use the spent when this comes out of the nuclear reactor is a waste then we're not tapping the full in the GOP manage potential threats only less that percent
of that energy potential has been used but the moment we do it plus with psycho well and that spent well Izzy processed from bed the preside einfach died is again use back in the new bed the act up then we can multiply the total in that use it but more than that it also handles yet another major issue that is above the nuclear waste when a
dog of nuclear waste business the other technological problem associated with the new Clinton because you Janet nuclear waste which is a very big height invective life yet we have brought de did you talk to city as a function of buying and you can see that then not to live in a free do not city of natural uranium which is indicated by the green horizontal line the
total level of that comes down to the same level after about two hundred thousand years it's a very long time humanist is on for six thousand years who picks the response review one Dinesh index of spontaneity off generating that twist what you live for two hundred thousand years obviously not then it unsettled out to the game if we take out things like plutonium americium union and
bundle out in another area so the plus one cycle not only provide two more of the energy supply but it also takes the lowest coming to the podium then recently infected literature out in internet if you will find is a tremendous interest and put in the act of white but it can be used in different types of act up it can be insulted for the act
us it can be more consulting at best and also an excellent Ativan pinnacle systems in their process of it hurt Buffy off established technology robust technology which is what far many many years decades even now fourteen person the problem it's a suggestion in the country in the word is from nuclear and you can see that it is possible to do incumbents on the act this you
know because the Rubio who was the director of sun has actually predicted many many years back that you can in fact use podium in the comments on the actors so in that number effect of designing which has gone through many drafts of emails and if we know that it's possible to design that the act is very safe because here everything is messy that is all fifty
we can ism does not depend on human intervention night that external policy we're gonna let me talk of nuclear power you remember of the incidents in Fukushima so we have to pick to think at this to think not only of use of condoms but also that how nacs acetylation which is by just the public government U. process in that you can take all the heat I
need these kind of react to spend burn you in them best podium it can burn plutonium blessed William you can also bundling that you'd in them and look at diet that essentially can burn the spend twelve of the previous innocent actis coming to the more than subject it's a very interesting concept the whole reactor core the Flynn everything's in more than condition we all know what
a three day all the men don't accident that inside the core of a nuclear reactor things with many down and will cause problems to know that everything is all that important so there's not John seven minutes don't have a process that night well actually such bullets through I need most ready processing plant so he picks out all those except wasn't wasn't on the neutron I need
on support saying all that other Matilda newbie fissionable material which I depleted and that can be posted so if something like this practically in terms of the today's nuclear reactor practically no one generation of long lived isotopes so with problems that could it is also very interesting that he has other many interesting feature of safety people say that you believe in your backyard I don't think
the that India is the act of this site why because busy at this I actually can limit very small secondly its aunt Bessie even if there's any any explain it any kind of a departure from the moment opposition it'll come back quickly to this if system minimalist is efficient because you're looking at a temperature of about six fifty because that's yes much above that tended to
be senses about what our more directors the other idea is also extremely important this is again something which has been but I do it in this sentence done as well as many other centers in the water it's not a technology which is developed the science part of it it's fully established what it does is that I mentioned to you earlier that what is most important in
the nuclear energy or nuclear technology is the picking keeping the balance of these neutrons if you don't know excess neutrons you just gone but he worked all that foot dieting the source that nature has given us interviews I'd like taught him all unit implicate you know what one does is bombarding by biddy high energy particle they give up elect onboard Brooke done and strike a new
plus and again can make the nucleons inside the new players boiler in that process you can see the spallation which means essentially boiling neutrons tricked out from the nucleus and I have only had a friend with that only two neutrons come out in this case you may get even funded no drums on a single solution process I'm biz neutrons going but what the fuck I designed
this new drugs can also couple with a nuclear reactor that owned it so the basic structure affects of the German system would be having a kind of a quarter in which the dog it's a thought that particular heavy metal and Richard having incident brought on of one guy left on board coming from an excellent day and see the eleven safety feature about it that's a legacy
stuff the whole directives system and then this couple of system X. a little under the act up and indeed used podium we the open in the processing that's it on the big challenge and it's possible so I don't think a base I men mention within them program we we have a program which is running for nearly forty years now and we started that's eluded him over
this intermission the actor Ehud anywhere produces an edgy but also produce plutonium which has been pumped into a foster and once in the fuss yet that you had many more neutrons and at some of the actor it's possible to convert podium Putin impotency and that is our future but put him can be converted into it in a protected see and can make nuclear energy substantive a
form of energy before the stage one it is a politician and building the presiding judge on the second day stage two expanded the Barbara and make you more of you to talk to the invention on third stage is burning this no all this had been done to the first one we are yet to date to show love the second season because that's an embassy active have
been running for some time this is producing plutonium which is going into the fussy act up those words largest commercial project would be operational in India next year it's a five hundred megawatt electric and we also have been running from nineteen ninety six I told him hitting him but touches dejected it's interesting that all this area this on the pitted in one place in India many
close to tonight the place felt about them I do have it on Monday after we have a fussy after we can as well we also had a small experimental you detected see bunny Cordelia to the didactic in fact it's a good opportunity for me to even invite you to have a visit to India and just go to tonight and see all the things in one place
