| Abstract: | The Union Budget 2025-26 emphasised a significant push for nuclear energy to achieve the twin goals of energy security and Net Zero by 2070. The Government of India (GOI) has initiated the Nuclear Energy Mission with a target of 100 GW nuclear power capacity by 2047 from the current level of 8,780 MW. To achieve these goals, GOI has initiated the amendment of the Atomic Energy Act and the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage (CLND) Act to encourage private sector investments in nuclear power projects without compromising on safety, security, and safeguards. NIAS site selection studies indicate that only a limited number of sites in India qualify under the AERB Siting Code for conventional Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs). Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are necessary to complement conventional NPPs by providing reliable, clean, and firm energy to hard-to-abate industries, besides enabling the repurposing of Thermal Power Plant sites to meet baseload demand. GOI has therefore allocated Rs. 20,000 Crore for the design, development, and deployment of SMRs. This workshop aims to bring together policymakers, potential NPP developers, subject matter experts, and civil society to understand the way forward and identify the decisions and actions required to achieve a tenfold increase in nuclear power generation capacity by 2047. |
