From the publisher: India’s participation at the NSS underscores its commitment to ensure national nuclear security. India’s unique three-stage nuclear programme itself, based on the ‘closed fuel cycle’, ensures the security of nuclear materials. India is also working to develop proliferation-resistant fuel cycles and has developed an Advanced Heavy Water Reactor based on low enriched uranium (LEU) and thorium with new safety and proliferation-resistant features. Responding to the global concern with regard to use of HEU in research reactors, India has shut down its only research reactor using HEU fuel, and at present no research reactor is operating on HEU. At all entry and exit points, radiation monitoring devices are installed to monitor movement of radioactive materials. The Mumbai seaport, where India’s major chunk of shipping takes place, is Container Security Initiative (CSI) compliant. Suffice it to say that India had internalised the nuclear security practice in its nuclear programme much before the NSS started.
