💨 Abstract

The SHANTI Act, 2025, aims to advance nuclear energy in India, but former Atomic Energy Commission chairman Dr. Anil Kakodkar suggests additional measures like soft loans and scaling up R&D to make nuclear power more competitive. Kakodkar emphasizes the need for innovation and a startup ecosystem to support the sector. He also highlights the importance of addressing supplier liability issues to attract foreign investment and the necessity of transitioning from uranium to thorium for long-term energy security.
