🚨Last night, India switched on a reactor.
Here are 9 numbers nobody is talking about:
→ 72 years: Time since Homi Bhabha conceived this plan
→ 22 years: Time to actually build it
→ ₹7,700 crore: Final cost (started at ₹3,492 crore)
→ 500 MW: Power it will generate
→ 2nd: India's global rank only Russia had this before
→ 25%: India's share of world's thorium reserves
→ 400 years: How long those reserves can power India
→ 200+: Indian companies that built it. Zero foreign designs.
→ 3: Countries that tried and quit - USA, Germany, UK
🧵 A thread that will blow your mind:
@DelhiAirport Security queue 10 minutes in. Seems like an hour more of a wait. Will miss the flight I fear. The gates wait time is of no use for you to update if the security queue is 2 hours long. #Fail
@DelhiAirport I hope it's the same at 6 AM, the time I reach there. I have a 7.30 domestic flight. Glad to see improvements at T3, hoping your words are true or I'll be in a fix.
@AmazonHelp Also Jaideep, compared to my support experiences with Amazon Social team in the past you are literally trying to avoid doing work. It's crystal clear. Thanks for a few more points to add in my grief email to @JeffBezos@AmitAgarwal
@AmazonHelp Where are your basics Jaideep? Have you even seen my case at all? You want me to do same via email, have you shared the info where to send an email? If you are even considered this as critical and want to really help, did you ask my number or email? Wake Up!!
