World’s largest Uranium Reserve in India?

I concur with Joydeep largely. The developed world has regrets of subscribing to nuclear energy and their ability to dispose off nuclear waste. Now there are ways to recycle nuclear waste by using fast (neutorn) reactors. 
A little chemistry - The conventional slow reactors use about 5-10% of the fuel in the Uranium ore, which is usually enriched Uranium.  The fuel on an average is thought to be spent in 3 years. There are other sub products after the reaction, the spent fuel still has the stabler Uranium238 and other derived Uranium elements.  The spent fuel usually has lot of energy left in it by way of fissionable reactions. Uranium 238,  more stable isotope can be used. The worrisome part will be the transuranic material (by product of nuclear reaction) which are usually heavier elements such as Plutonium isotopes. These should be stored safely, lest they fall into terrorists’ hands; offcourse enriched Plutonium is required for weapons.  The other by products are highly radio active and usually last about 2-3 centuries to die out and some isotopes of Cesium and Strontium are water soluble that are huge bio hazards. 
Recycling of nuclear waste is in it’s infancy but will catch on sooner or later. 
The world is thinking of decommissioning nuclear reactors and moving to cleaner energy, we (many Indians, not all) construe differently; politicians and scientist should collaborate for the effect use of nuclear energy using the most advanced technology after perceiving every humanly possible fallout of using such methods. Nuclear energy can be clean energy provided we are wise and our forethoughts envision safety aspects, both ecological and human, before we commission a nuclear plant.  That is as far as peaceful use of nuclear elements. What happens to the rest of the ore is left to our government to flex it’s nuclear weapons muscle.

@Joydeep Thnx for referral n thnx for Mr Muralidharan for sharing the info

Good news for bright future of our country, India.
Thanks for sharing & referral, Muralidharan Sir.

Why only Uranium? This is "recent" news. News 40-50 years old is that about Thorium. We have the world's largest thorium reserves in the sands of out (South Indian) beaches. This is the reason that we in India are trying to concentrate on what is known as the FBTR - Fast Breeder Test Reactor. It will continue to take the products of the first stage of the nuclear reaction into the second stage. Thorium is also one of the stages in the same. Western Countries (USA mainly) are trying to block this path of ours.

Thanks for bringing into light the hazardous consequences of Nuclear power generation, but a country like india to compete with developed nation we need to be self-reliant in fulfilling our needs, More power generation can be made from Nuclear energy generation compare to any other source. we should not rely on other countries to import uranium for nuclear power generation, and only France and Kazakhstan are key suppliers ( Not a long-term suppliers) and countries like Australia are not willing to sell. It is sure a good news to india that we found tons of  uranium which will last for 40 years approximately,  else we would have spent million of our money in importing it from other countries. To avoid frequent power-cuts and ensure smooth run of any industry one has to have a power generation without any shutdown which again helps our economy grow. Hope you agree…

Thanks,Mr Joydeep for referral.I also appreciate your line of thinking.The electric power is our rudimentary requirement if we want to progress.The only environmental safe methods of producing power are Hydro and Solar.As for hydro,we are already running short of our water requirement.Most of aquifers are drying up.There is no alternative to nuclear energy.
As for Uranium,its use was recognized by the year 1896 sand its potential for use as an energy was not realized until the middle of 20th century.The natural uranium is found almost every where in soil,rocks and water.For many years it was used to color ceramics, producing colors,tinting early photography.There is no doubt that it has catastrophic effect on health,but surrounding areas are to be regularly monitored to maintain minimum level of content in human body sourced through drinking water,food.
As for sabotage,I think natural calamities are the biggest culprits if we can manage them,the terrorists of any denomination can be tackled effectively.The intending Meer Zafars will take note of history. 

Thanks for sharing Murali sir....

Thanks for referring joydeep sir.....a very good information....

I generally agree with Joydeep. History repeats itself. The last Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar was a learned scholar but a weak ruler and was overpowered by the British. May God protect the nation today and always from external forces.

Thanks Joydeep for referral. Use of nuclear power is not at all safe as we have seen in distant and recent past.

I am of the strong opinion that even if the reserve have been found we should use the same as last resort. 

Extraction of Uranium has become a big question these days with the agitations against its extraction.   People should understand the national importance of it.  Govt. should convince the people proactively instead of suppressing the demonstrations of the public.  Thank you for the information Mr. Murali ji.

hope we do not start export of Uranium and conserve the reserve for future requirements as fossil fuel is not going to last for ever and sooner than later we need to seek energy through alternate means like Uranium or for that matter Solar

When it comes to electric power generation nuclear power plants are the most unsafe and dangerous to our biosphere by their existence in Indian sub continent though we are not seismic prone like Japan. 
Nuclear fuel for electric energy production is a high tech game the hazards (accidental or sabotage terrorist) have astronomical cost. The waste products which are highly radioactive, needs careful handling, if not disposed well, disposed material well protected terrorist and terrorist states like Pakistan may use it as dirty bomb, it’s on record that Pakistani generals and politicians threatened India of dire consequence of waging war etc, mostly when RSS BJP leaders calls for befitting reply to POK terrorist, with an Abotabad like operation to catch dead or alive political terrorist like Musharaf Gilani etc.
 Natural disasters like earth quake pose serious radiation problem hundreds of kilometres away can contaminate ground water destroy cultivable land for centuries.
We do have huge iron deposits   we export it to Japan and import high grade steel for them. Planning implementation development distribution of wealth and resources for the welfare of the society  has all ways been a hotch potch the reason we have telangana in AP Maoist in Jharkhand WB Bhiar, terrorist in Assam, all these places are highly mineral rich. Jharkhand is a new state what’s the good of creating one.  The congress MP’s and MLA’s are doing natak they want separate state Telengana. What great development has happened in Uttarakhand rouges are stealing sand from Ganga. The centre and state is doing Political Natak.
We have been and we are a rich country, we have to fight a second freedom struggle from corrupt politicians and their aids. 
Do you think One anna id enough?
Why are we Indians? Because of British rule. Earlier to that we were like Europe some 500 princely states existed. How did the British get into our country via Bangal, the war at Palasi where Nawab of Bengal was defeated, as his own general Mirzafar betrayed the king. After the battle Mirzafat was captured by the British army and shot to death.

Today our country is being led by Mizafar’s, what progress can we expect?  

If we can meet up our domestic nuclear demands first (for energy requirements) and then contribute sufficient supply to the inland R&D organizations that will yield versatile and useful technologies for national use. Then it will definitely prove India as a nuclear power in true sense. Nourishing a few prolific reserves like this is the best initiative.

This is really a very good information. Thanks for sharing this here Muralidharan sir.

This must give a reality check to Australia that has consistently refused to sell uranium to India under Chinese pressure. The real challenge now is extraction of uranium from the Andhra mine. DAE says that the extraction process should start within six months. That is the real point. India has found huge uranium deposits in Meghalaya and even in Ladakh but the extraction process has not begun because of public movement against it in Meghalaya and high economic costs of extraction in Ladakh. When extraction actually begins from the Andhra mine is the real key, not how much reserves it holds. This is my limited understanding on the subject, Murali ji.

A very beneficial news for Indians. even it is not a high grade Uranium but good enough to utilize it for our Energy purposes. great news!! thanks for sharing Mr. Muralidharan.
