The world has seen your talent. The nation sees the future in you. That’s a lot of responsibility already on very young shoulders, very able ones at that. Preserve the innocence, keep honing your brilliance, and the world will be at your feet.
Prayers, aashirwad, and love for you, Vaibhav.
India has 2% of the world's uranium. But 25% of the world's thorium.
For 70 years, that was a weakness. Today it became the strategy.
Homi Bhabha designed a 3 stage nuclear relay race in 1954 specifically because we had no uranium.
Stage 1 burns uranium to produce plutonium.
Stage 2 uses plutonium to breed MORE fuel than it burns (this just went live at Kalpakkam).
Stage 3 uses the bred fuel to finally unlock thorium.
846,000 tonnes of thorium sitting in the beaches of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Odisha. Enough energy for 700+ years at current consumption.
Every other nuclear power built their program around uranium because they had it. India built the only program in the world designed from day one to NOT need it.
A completely different game.
Trump gave Iran a 48-hour ultimatum to open the Strait of Hormuz or face strikes on its power plants.
Iran refused. Trump said fine, wait 48 hours. Forty-eight hours passed, Iran didn’t open the Strait, and everyone awaited Trump’s response.
Trump, instead of acting on his ultimatum, posted on Truth Social that he had postponed the attack for five days because productive “negotiations” had begun with Iran. Iran immediately denied his claim, saying there were no negotiations and the Strait would remain closed.
Seems like Iran is not keen on letting Trump quietly chicken out this time.
Iran Counters Trump's 'Hormuz Ultimatum'
'Strait of Hormuz not closed': Iranian FM Araghchi
@araghchi tweets, "Strait of Hormuz is not closed. Ships hesitate because insurers fear the war of choice you initiated—not Iran
- No insurer—and no Iranian—will be swayed by more threats. Try respect
- Freedom of Navigation cannot exist without Freedom of Trade. Respect both—or expect neither"
