India's SHANTI Act Aims for 100 GW Nuclear Power by 2047
India's new SHANTI Act opens the nuclear power sector to private companies, aiming to increase installed capacity from 8.7 gigawatts (GW) to 100 GW by 2047. Former regulators emphasize the need for a long-term commitment and financial security for waste management and decommissioning. The act is designed to attract foreign investment and facilitate private operation of nuclear power plants, marking a significant shift from the previous model that lasted over 50 years.
