A Nuclear Report


THE GOAL
India eventually wants to increase nuclear power's share of its electricity supply from 2% now to 10%

THE PROBLEM
The industry is short of funds, weakly regulated, and plagued by construction delays, old technology, and safety snafus

THE SOLUTION
Critics say old reactors should be shut down, international inspections allowed, and nuclear power separated from India's nuclear weapons program
