For a large developing country like India with large population density, nuclear power will play an important role for sustainable supply of energy.

There are now 439 nuclear reactors in operation around the world in over 30 countries, providing almost 16% of the world’s electricity.

Nuclear power is the fourth-largest source of electricity in India after thermal, hydro and renewable sources of electricity. As of 2010, India has 20 nuclear power plants in operation generating 4,780 MW while 5 other are under construction and are expected to generate an additional 3,900 MW. India’s nuclear power industry is undergoing rapid expansion with plans to increase nuclear power output to 63,000 MW by 2032. Only Nuclear Energy offers Emission free energy on the massive and expanding scale the world so urgently requires. Moreover nuclear energy is considered to be an environmentally benign source of energy.

India being a member of IAEA has agreements with several countries on various aspects of the nuclear fuel cycle. India stands 9th in the world in terms of number of operational nuclear power reactors. In October 2010 India’s safeguards agreement with the IAEA became operational, with the Government confirming that 14 reactor will be put under the India Specific Safeguards Agreement by 2014.

Looking at the importance of nuclear energy to effectively bridge the energy gap for India, UBM India is pleased to announce its 3rd edition of India Nuclear Energy 2011 – 3rd International Exhibition and Conference, from 29 Sep. - 1 Oct. 2011 at Mumbai.
