Practice questions

Q1What budgetary provision was made for the design, development and deployment of Small Modular Reactors under the Nuclear Energy Mission for Viksit Bharat?

A ₹20,000 crore
B ₹10,000 crore
C ₹30,000 crore
D ₹50,000 crore
Explanation

The Union Budget 2025-26 provided ₹20,000 crore specifically for the design, development and deployment of Small Modular Reactors. Therefore, option A states the exact officially announced mission allocation.

Q2Which milestone is correctly associated with the Nuclear Energy Mission for Viksit Bharat?

A 5 imported reactors operational by 2030
B At least 5 indigenously designed Small Modular Reactors operational by 2033
C At least 10 indigenous large reactors operational by 2033
D All fossil-fuel power plants replaced by nuclear plants by 2033
Explanation

The mission sets a precise 2033 milestone: at least five indigenously designed Small Modular Reactors are to be operationalised. The number, indigenous-design condition and deadline all make option B correct.

Q3Consider the following statements about the Rajasthan connection of the Nuclear Energy Mission for Viksit Bharat: 1. The Mahi Banswara project comprises 4 units of 700 MWe indigenous pressurised heavy water reactors. 2. It is being implemented by Anushakti Vidyut Nigam Limited, a joint venture of the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited and NTPC Limited. 3. It is the first nuclear power project in India to be set up by a joint venture of two central public-sector enterprises. Which statements are correct?

A 1, 2 and 3
B 1 and 2 only
C 2 and 3 only
D 1 and 3 only
Explanation

All three statements are explicit project facts. Mahi Banswara has four indigenous 700 MWe pressurised heavy water reactor units; Anushakti Vidyut Nigam Limited, the joint venture of the two named public-sector entities, implements it; and it is India's first nuclear project of this two-central-enterprise joint-venture kind.

Q4Consider the following reactor design–capacity–purpose pairs: 1. Bharat Small Modular Reactor — 200 MWe — small reactor for brownfield deployment; 2. Small Modular Reactor-55 — 55 MWe — small reactor for brownfield deployment; 3. High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor — up to 5 MWth — hydrogen production. Which option identifies the correctly matched pairs?

A 1 only
B 1 and 2 only
C 1, 2 and 3
D 2 and 3 only
Explanation

All three pairs reproduce the stated technology components: the Bharat Small Modular Reactor is 200 MWe, Small Modular Reactor-55 is 55 MWe, and the gas-cooled design is up to 5 MWth for hydrogen. Thus, option C alone includes every correct pair.

Q5Consider the following statements about the Nuclear Energy Mission for Viksit Bharat: Statement 1: Its headline ambition is 100 GWe of nuclear capacity by 2047. Statement 2: Its two-track strategy places large 700 MWe indigenous pressurised heavy water reactors and imported advanced reactors at greenfield sites, while smaller reactors are intended for brownfield sites. Which option is correct?

A Statement 1 only
B Statement 2 only
C Neither statement 1 nor statement 2
D Both statement 1 and statement 2
Explanation

Statement 1 gives the mission's official headline ambition of 100 GWe by 2047. Statement 2 correctly reproduces its two-track approach: large indigenous and imported reactors at greenfield sites and smaller reactors at brownfield sites. Hence both are correct.
