Coal to clean power: 10 retired thermal plants to go nuclear; 100 GW goal set for 2047

India is considering converting 10 decommissioned thermal power plant sites into nuclear facilities to boost its nuclear energy capacity to 100 GW by 2047. The selection process involves stringent assessments of seismic stability, water availability, and proximity to populated areas. The initiative aims to leverage existing infrastructure while exploring advanced technologies like small modular reactors.
