  • [Yojana Archive] Energy Security: Nuclear Power

    UPSC 2022 countdown has begun! Get your personal guidance plan now! (Click here)

    October 2021: Science and Technology

    Aspects of Energy Security

    • Energy security means consistent availability of sufficient energy in various forms at affordable prices.
    • These conditions must prevail over a longer period of time if energy is to contribute to sustainable development.
    • India is one of the world’s largest energy consumers and currently relies on importing fuels to a significant extent.

    India’s energy mix

    • The major fuel in India’s energy mix is coal 55%, a major portion of which is produced domestically.
    • Nuclear energy makes up about 3%, and renewable energy sources about 20%.

    Why focus on nuclear energy?

    • There is a huge gap between energy demand and energy supply in India, due to its rapidly growing economy.
    • Nuclear energy is considered by many as being the only source of energy suitable to support continuous industrialization and urbanization.

    India’s Nuclear Program

    • India embarked on its commercial nuclear power production in 1969 with the commissioning of two boiling water reactors (BWR) of 210 MWe capacities each.
    • India’s nuclear power program was conceived to be a closed fuel cycle, to be achieved in three sequential stages.
    • Dr Homi J Bhabha, who is regarded as the father of the Indian nuclear power programme, who envisioned the roadmap of the three-stage nuclear energy:

    First stage: Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs) will be used to produce energy from natural uranium. Besides producing energy, it will produce fissile plutonium (Pu)-239.

    Second stage: It involves using the indigenous Fast Breeder Reactor technology fuelled by Pu-239 to produce energy and more of Pu-239.  By the end of the second stage of the cycle, the reactor would have produced more fissile material than it would have consumed, thus earning the name “Breeder.”

    Third stage: It would involve the use of Pu-239 recovered from the second stage, in combination with thorium-232, to produce energy and U-233 — another fissile material — using Thermal Breeders. This production of U-233 from thorium-232 would complete the cycle.

    Why was 3 stage program envisaged?

    • These stages feed into each other in such a way that the spent fuel generated from one stage of the cycle is reprocessed and used in the next.  
    • It was designed to breed fuel and to minimize the generation of nuclear waste.
    • The ultimate objective is to utilize the country’s vast reserves of thorium-232. India has the world’s third-largest reserves of thorium.
    • Thorium, however, cannot be used as a fuel in its natural state. It needs to be converted into its usable “fissile” form after a series of reactions.
    • Hence, to eventually produce nuclear power from its thorium reserves, three-stage nuclear program was envisioned.

    Nuclear Reactors in India

    Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd is the public sector enterprise, under the Department of Atomic Energy, entrusted with the task of nuclear power generation in the country.

    Currently, there are 22 operational nuclear reactors in India with a total installed capacity of 6780 Mwe. These are:

    • Tarapur 1 & 2 (BWR) – 2X160 MW;
    • Rajasthan 1 to 6 (PHWR) – 100 +200 + 4X220 MW
    • Madras 1 & 2 (PHWR) – 2X220 MW;
    • Kudankulam 1 & 2 (PWR) – 2X1000 MW
    • Narora 1 & 2 (PHWR) – 2X220 MW;
    • Tarapur 3 & 4 (PHWR) – 2X540 MW
    • Kaiga 1 to 4 ((PHWR) – 4X220 MW;
    • Kakrapar 1 & 2 (PHWR) – 2X220 MW

    Projects under construction

    Relevance of Nuclear Energy

    • Non-renewable sources: Currently, India draws nearly 63 per cent of its total energy generation from thermal sources. Of this, nearly 55 per cent is met from coal and the rest from gas, with a minuscule amount from oil-fired plants.
    • Import dependence: India imports a significant part of its fossil fuels which raises economic and strategic vulnerabilities.
    • Emission reduction: India’s per capita carbon emissions stand at 1-1.2 tons, compared to 20 tons per capita of the US. If a growing Indian economy continues to rely on coal, carbon emissions are bound to rise.
    • Limitations of Renewable Energy: Solar and wind energy generation is land-intensive. Solar plants carry a dependence on imported technology.  Another solar and wind power generation related handicap is in energy storage, which makes them unsuitable as a baseload source of electricity.

    Conclusion

    • India is a developing nation and its economy is dominated by the manufacturing and service sectors which are energy-intensive.
    • Its power generation capacity has increased a hundred-fold since independence, and it is today the third-largest producer of electricity in the world, are applaudable developments.
    • India needs to scale up electricity production to assure a reasonable quality of life for citizens.
    • Such requirements make the choice for India, not between nuclear and renewable, but to include all available sources.

    • If the company decides to opt for the second route of issuing shares, it must invite public investors to buy its shares.
    • This is its first public invitation in the stock market and is called the Initial Public Offering (IPO).

    Do you know?

    The Dutch are credited with conducting the first modern IPO by offering shares of the Dutch East India Company to the general public.

    What does it mean for investors to buy shares?

    • When one buys such shares, he/she makes an IPO investment.
    • He/she gets ownership in the company, proportionate to the value of your shares.
    • These shares then get listed on the stock exchange.
    • The stock exchange is where you can sell your existing shares in the company or buy more.

    How does an IPO work?

    • The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) regulates the entire process of investment via an IPO in India.
    • A company intending to issue shares through IPOs first registers with SEBI.
    • SEBI scrutinises the documents submitted, and only then approves it.

    Who can hold IPOs?

    • It could be a new, young company or an old company which decides to be listed on an exchange and hence goes public.

    Trading of shares

    • The company which offers its shares, known as an ‘issuer’, does so with the help of investment banks.
    • After IPO, the company’s shares are traded in an open market.
    • Those shares can be further sold by investors through secondary market trading.

    Why are IPOs held?

    Some of the main motivations for undertaking an IPO include:

    • Raising capital from the sale of the shares
    • Providing liquidity to company founders and early investors and
    • Taking advantage of a higher valuation

    Benefits offered by IPO

    • Cheaper avenues of raising capital
    • More exposure, prestige and enhanced public image
    • Creating multiple financing opportunity through equity, convertible debt etc

    Limitations of IPO

    • Disclosure of sensitive financial and business information
    • Risk of company performance in future
    • Risk of litigation by investors
    • Market pressure
    • Cost of trading (transaction cost) borne by the investors

    Why is there a boom of IPOs in India?

    There are multiple reasons for the spike IPOs:

    • Monetary push: In in a bid to boost the economy, central banks and governments over the world have been pumping money into the economy.
    • Liquidity: This money with people is finding its way into the stock markets.
    • Lower interest rates: As long as the interest rates remain low, investor enthusiasm remains and investors keep making listing gains on the last few issues.
    • Retailers’ entry: Besides big institutional investors, recent months have seen a hoard of first-time retail investors entering the markets.
    • Regulatory boosts: Positive changes in the regulatory environment are also forging IPOs as a sustainable path for scaled companies. The SEBI has been highly proactive in this regard.

    Ever since the release of a web series on the stock market, every other person/aspirant is seen talking about share markets. This seems to be the rising awareness and sensation created among young investors in the stock market.

    Concerns raised

    • The RBI has warned that there is a disconnect between Indian stock markets and the economy, which could pose a risk to the country’s financial stability.
    • There is a question of sustainability of the spike in stock market.

    Conclusion

    • As a growing economy, India offers tremendous opportunities for entrepreneurs to build global companies.
    • A very active early-stage VC ecosystem enables entrepreneurs to take that risk in the early stages, and a buoyant private equity market enables strong early-stage businesses to access growth capital.
    • It is only natural to see a lot more IPOs in the future as these companies scale up.
    • A knowledgeable and active public market ecosystem with active retail participation alongside FIIs is expected to make the country a solid story for the years to come.

Over here, examiners expect pointers, examples, flowcharts, mind maps, diagrams than long paragraphs. Given the time and word limit, it’s better not to beat around the bush while answering.

    For a better understanding on the format of the webinar, here’s Sajal sir’s explanation on how to approach a sample question.

    It is commented that Electoral bonds instead of cleansing India’s electoral system distort India’s democracy. Do you agree? Critically analyse.

    Sajal Sir Suggests: Understand the key demand of the question. Don’t get swayed by only seeing the theme of the question. Question is not about electoral bonds only. Many aspirants write everything they know about electoral bonds. You need to first mention how it will cleanse India’s electoral system. After that, link it with democracy. How it violates key features of democracy like transparency, accountability and level playing field. Writing only Pros and Cons will not fetch you marks.

    Sajal sir will share his experiences of scoring 120+ in all the UPSC 2017 GS papers through a webinar. This webinar about the new age formula to ace UPSC Mains is absolutely free for all to attend.

    For a better understanding on the format of the webinar, here’s Sajal sir’s explanation on how to approach a sample question.

    It is commented that Electoral bonds instead of cleansing India’s electoral system distort India’s democracy. Do you agree? Critically analyse.

    Sajal Sir Suggests: Understand the key demand of the question. Don’t get swayed by only seeing the theme of the question. Question is not about electoral bonds only. Many aspirants write everything they know about electoral bonds. You need to first mention how it will cleanse India’s electoral system. After that, link it with democracy. How it violates key features of democracy like transparency, accountability and level playing field. Writing only Pros and Cons will not fetch you marks.

    BUY THIS COURSE – SMASH 2022 PRELIMS

    Prelims Super-25 Program is back after a thumping success in Prelims 2021. Out of 25 students Santhosh sir has mentored, 15 have cleared prelims this time.

    Do you want to practice medium to tough test series regularly? Before attending a test do you want to revise the right notes with integrated current affairs? And, after a test do you want an experienced mentor to discuss your answers and motivate you?

    If yes, then this is the right program for you! The registrations are open for all UPSC 2022 aspirants.

    Is Prelims the Toughest Exam of UPSC-CSE?

    Toppers like Pranav Vijayvergiya (AIR 65) and Swati Sharma (AIR 17) have found Prelims to be tougher than Mains. In fact, Pranav failed to clear Prelims thrice. But, in his fourth attempt he had cleared Mains and Interview in one shot!

    What makes prelims tough? It’s because the paper is unpredictable. If this year, science questions are a breeze then the next year you will have to answer advanced concept based questions.

    Unlike Mains, Prelims has negative marking. One has to be good at elimination methods to choose the right option amongst two similar ones.

    Our Super 25 Prelims Program started as a pilot project last year with an aim to introduce step-wise improvement in our chosen 25 aspirants. Over a period of 2 months, Santhosh sir inculcated confidence in aspirants who were either newbies or gave too many attempts.

    This year, we achieved a remarkable 60% success ratio. Next year, we have set our eyes on 100%. Yes, we are ambitious and aspirational just like any other UPSC aspirant.
