Thorium fuel surpasses 60 GWd/MTU in major test ahead of reactor demo
Apart from its significance in terms of performance qualification at high burn-up this capability also means potential net energy gain while producing uranium233.

Remembering Veer Savarkar's historic & audacious dive from the SS Morea in Marseille on its 116th anniversary this week (July 8). An unforgettable chapter of courage in India's struggle for freedom. 🇮🇳 French-Indian history runs deep.

Does the UK border system officially recognize a French DCEM (Document de Circulation pour Mineur) for Transit Without Visa (TWOV) at LHR? Minors in France cannot hold a standard residence card.

[Adwait Kulkarni @adwaitkulkarni]

@British_Airways @British_Airways Cody, I am not asking for immigration advice. I am asking a boarding policy question for your gate staff. Does BA's check-in system (Timatic) clear an Indian minor holding a French DCEM for transit to India? Please escalate this to your airport operations team.

[Adwait Kulkarni @adwaitkulkarni]

@UKVIgovuk @British_Airways Urgent transit query for Marseille-Mumbai via LHR. Indian adults have French residence cards (exempt). 7yo son has a French DCEM card (legal residency for minors). Does UK Border Force accept a DCEM for TWOV exemption? Will BA allow boarding?

[Adwait Kulkarni @adwaitkulkarni]

@British_Airways @British_Airways @UKVIgovuk https://t.co/v8d9MiQRsW says an EU residence permit allows transit. In France, minors cannot hold a standard residence permit; they are issued a DCEM for international travel instead. Will BA gate staff accept a child's DCEM for transit?

An excellent read as always!

The commomeration of the jump's location at the Marseille new port is long due! We, the indians living in Marseille or nearby would gladly provide any assistance necessary to make this happen. @IndiaembFrance @narendramodi

Landed in Marseille. In India’s quest for freedom, this city holds special significance. It was here that the great Veer Savarkar attempted a courageous escape. I also want to thank the people of Marseille and the French activists of that time who demanded that he not be handed over to British custody.

The bravery of Veer Savarkar continues to inspire generations!

@narendramodi Maharashtra Mandal France has well documented information and we've visited the location of Veer Savarkar's famous jump into the Mediterranean sea. We celebrate the anniversary of the event (on 10th July) in Marseille to remember him and his historical jump!

[Adwait Kulkarni @adwaitkulkarni]

@ARanganathan72 @narendramodi We're already late to achieve these targets. We've had these goals for the last decade or so with hardly any progress to show for.

EVMs are working just fine, euh!

Very good news. The "wagh nakh" used by Chattrapati Shivaji to kill Afzal Khan will be brought back to India from UK.

This is such a major turn in our history, and I had no idea that the wagh nakh had survived!! So happy to hear that are reclaiming it..

@marinebharat Stats are wrong. TGV covers about 800kms in approximately 3h. (Paris-Marseille). There is no separate line for Paris Nice. It's almost always Paris Marseille Nice. Marseille -Nice track is not a tgv track per se. Anyways the distances mentioned are not correct.

Gladly surprised to know about the installation of Foucault's pendulum in the new Indian parliament building! Highlighting science's importance in the development of India. Congratulations @JvpJyotirvidya! Scientific temperament should begin in the temple of democracy @PMOIndia

Intense! How the méditerranéen sea was filled up so brutally!

[Tomas Pueyo @tomaspueyo]

The Mediterranean Sea was dry 5M years ago

Then, a series of MEGAFLOODS filled it in a matter of months

How did the Med dry up?
Why did it fill so brutally?
How would it have felt to be there?

This is what we know:
