(OP) User ID: 45012321 United Kingdom 08/12/2013 12:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Watch out Porkis : Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31970698 India moves towards n-triad as INS Arihant's reactor activated New Delhi/Chennai. India took a major step towards attaining its long-awaited nuclear weapons triad as a reactor on board the country's first indigenous nuclear submarine INS Arihant was activated early Aug 10, paving way for its deployment by the Navy after sea trials. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh described it as a "giant stride" in the progress of the country's indigenous capabilities. Defence Minister A.K. Antony also lauded the "tireless efforts" of the large team that had worked on the project. The miniature nuclear reactor on INS Arihant (slayer of enemies) went critical early Saturday and the submarine was on its own power. "The reactor in INS Arihant is functioning well. It will be shut down later to study the reports generated," Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) chairman R.K. Sinha told IANS over phone. He said the design was unique as compared to a land-based reactor. "The reactor was designed and manufactured in India," he added. The submarine reactor was developed from a land-based prototype located in Kalpakkam, around 70km from Chennai. Speaking to IANS over phone, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre director Sekhar Basu said: "After a reactor goes critical (beginning of the nuclear fission process), it is shut down to check the reports. Then the reactor physics experiments will be done. Unlike land based power reactors, shutting down and restarting a submarine reactor is not a big problem."

The ship has attained its designed length of about 260 m and is almost at its maximum breadth of 60 m. The main landing strip is ready. Over 80 per cent of the structure, containing about 2,300 compartments has been fabricated, over 75 per cent has been erected, all the major machinery, such as the two LM2500 Gas Turbines developing a total power of 80 MW, the diesel alternators capable of producing about 24 MW and the main gear box have been fitted. Soon after Vikrant floated perfectly upright, it was launched out into the Ernakulam Channel in a pontoon assisted precision manoeuvre. Vikrant was moved out of the building dock to be positioned in the refitting dock where the next Phase of outfitting will be completed. Describing the occasion as ‘momentous’, Mr Antony said,“ Today’s launching of the IAC marks just the first step in a long journey, but at the same time, an important one.” He said it was indeed a proud moment for the country to witness our efforts at achieving self-reliance in the field of warship design and construction, as only a very few advanced countries in the world possess the capability to design and build aircraft carriers. India must continue the process of strengthening indigenous capability towards securing our maritime interests. ‘Our Navy must continue to maintain high operational readiness at all times to ward off any likely misadventure against our national interests’, he said.

I bet the people firing from Paki to India were hired al-ciada to try and cause a Syria like issue within India. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 38934043 These Pakistanis want to gain a upper hand in Afghanistan as the Americans will be leaving the country soon. That's why the ratcheting up of hostilities. |
