  • Ensures energy independence by reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels and mitigating exposure to global price volatility.
  • Promotes technological self-reliance through indigenous research and development in reactor design and fuel cycle management.
  • Establishes a robust regulatory and safety architecture to manage radioactive waste and prevent proliferation risks.

How it is asked

Focus on the trilemma of energy security, economic viability, and environmental sustainability, alongside the role of international cooperation in nuclear technology and safety governance.
