"A workshop organized by the Indian Council of Social Science Research in June 2000 provided an opportunity for an intense and open exchange of views among leading scholars, policy makers and nuclear scientists on fundamental trends that are shaping the nuclear challenges facing India. The goal, of the workshop was to strengthen the basis for a continued and informed nationwide discussion of nuclear policy choices. "A wide range of subjects from fundamentalism and terrorism to regional and international security, China's contribution to nuclear and missile proliferation, and bargaining asymmetries between India and China absorbed the attention of the workshop. The pivotal role of professional planning staffs to avoid the dangers of fragmented thinking was emphasized." (jacket) [M.L. Sondhi is Chairman Indian Council of Social Science Research.].

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. Introduction. 1. Safety-security-safeguards: the intricate interface. 2. Civil nuclear network: a reality check. 3. Sitting of nuclear power plants: modus operandi. 4. Contours of nuclear safety: defence in-depth. 5. Security of nuclear facilities: the envelope. 6. Waste management: a Gordian knot? 7. Social acceptance fuss: a challenging opportunity. 8. Post-fukushima discourse: let's not feed political panic. 9 Defence beyond design: towards a new paradigm. This book scrutinises the realm of safety-security involving 'nuclear power' within the context of India's tryst with nuclear energy. Relying on open source information, it examines the efficacy of the safety-security arrangement in and around India's nuclear installations, keeping in mind the international best practices. As India has embarked on a civil nuclear expansion programme, the public concern for safety and security of nuclear facilities and material is obvious, especially in the backdrop of terrorist incidents and the Fukushima disaster. This poses a serious challenge to garnering greater domestic support for new nuclear projects with international collaborations. Here an attempt is made to examine the issues involving social acceptance of nuclear energy, safe disposal of nuclear waste, regulatory practices, and likely challenges ahead for India, to propose a new nuclear safety-security paradigm by looking beyond the usual 'defence by design' or 'defence in-depth' practice.

India's nuclear doctrine is based on maintaining a minimum credible deterrent and a no first use policy as opposed to nuclear war fighting doctrines or postures of launch on warning. It is therefore natural for India to take initiatives that aim to reduce the threat of break out of nuclear war. The main objective of India's nuclear policy is to ward off the threat of nuclear war half the arms race and safeguard and strengthen universal peace. We believe that this volume based research articles will be helpful to the both decision makers and the general public. In this nuclear age this book will make a new contribution to promoting peace progress and security. Now nuclear weapons threaten to destroy not only every thing that our civilization has created over the age but life on earth as well reason must triumph while there is still time. 284 pp.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Energy is essential for the economic growth of a nation. Its absence or deficiency makes a nation highly vulnerable to international arms twisting as well as internal disturbances. As such, it is an important element in a nation's security matrix. India which is in the lower half of the countries as far as the energy consumption per capita is concerned. One of major reasons is the gap between the demand and the capacity of the country to supply the energy from indigenous sources. One of the important sources that hold promise in Indian context is the nuclear energy as it is clean and the resource; thorium to produce power through this route is available indigenously. However despite a well developed plan for energy conversion in place, using indigenous resources for over half a century, it is still considered only promising. Relevant questions in this regard are; whether perceived promise is realizable If so, in what time frame and at what cost Will it be safe keeping in view its capacity to cause wide spread devastation Is there a need to seek technical collaboration with other countries or will it be better to go indigenous route only How do we tackle the widening demand- supply gap during the interim And finally is there a case for a review for the existing decision loop/energy management system An attempt has been made in this book to address these issues. It is also expected that the concept advocated in this book for achieving energy security for India by 2030 will initiate a wider debate on the subject.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this book, a leading authority on India's nuclear program offers an informed and thoughtful assessment of India's nuclear strategy. He shows that the country's nuclear-strategic culture is generally in accord with the principle of minimum deterrence, but is sometimes inconsistent and has a tendency to drift into a more open-ended process. He addresses areas of concern, notably the relationship between minimum deterrence and subnuclear conflict, the threat from nuclear terrorism, and the special challenges nuclear weapons pose for a democratic society.
