The Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) at Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu — the one announced by PM Modi on 6 April 2026 — is outside @iaeaorg IAEA safeguards. Modi’s post confirmed it attained criticality (first sustained chain reaction). This 500 MWe indigenous sodium-cooled fast breeder reactor uses mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel (plutonium-uranium) and breeds more fissile material than it consumes via a uranium blanket, producing extra plutonium (and paving the way for thorium use in Stage 3 of India’s program). India has never placed its fast breeder reactors under IAEA safeguards, consistent with the 2005–2008 civil-military separation plan and the India-specific IAEA safeguards agreement (INFCIRC/754, in force since 2009). This means IAEA has no routine access or verification that material from the PFBR (or its blankets) is not diverted to India’s burgeoning nuclear weapons program. India describes it as fully civil, but experts note it enables unsafeguarded plutonium production (weapon-grade if operated in certain modes) See: fissilematerials.org/blog/2014/07/i… & princeton.edu/~aglaser/2007a… 1/n

@ShivAroor The MC-130s were probably damaged while landing laden with troops and equipment. Hence the destruction. And no, the whole "nuclear" thing is just conspiracy theory

What if the missing F-15 pilot opened an opportunity for a pre-prepared JSOC insertion near Natanz to attempt a move on Iran’s Uranium. But things went south, and now everyone’s being sold the “oh we blew up those planes because they were in the mud” hokey.

@johnstanly The F15 crash site and the pilot was not 250km apart. That mistake was made by someone who annotated the map wrong. The distance b/w crash site and the extraction point was only around 30-40km.

For defence experts The F-15E was shot down on April 3 in Dehdasht (Kohgiluyeh province), in southwestern Iran. The regional governor of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province was the one who issued a public bounty for the crew. The distance from Iran's Persian Gulf coast to Dehdasht is some 100-130 km. The distance from Kuwait's Gulf Islands to Dehdasht is some 250 km. The C-130s were found destroyed in Isfahan, in central Iran, located along the eastern foothills of the Zagros Mountains. Kohgiluyeh and Isfahan do share a border. But the distance from the area where the F15 was shot down (Dehdasht) to the place where the charred remains of C-130s and helicopters were found is approximately 220 km, as the crow flies. So roughly this is the distance between the extraction point and the air strip where C-130s landed. Can anyone explain to me how this was pulled off? I understand that the so-called abandoned air strip in Isfahan could have been used as a staging ground/forward base. From there to the extraction point in Kohgiluyeh, US troops would have flown in a helicopter ? (the highly respected colonel was seriously injured, according to trump). But if the distance from Kuwait, which can never say No to America, to the crash site is some 250 km. Then why did the US move dozens of troops to Isfahan first, set up a temp staging ground deep inside enemy territory, and then move special forces further to Kohgiluyeh in helicopters, find the airman, fly back to Isfahan and then fly out of Iran? In the process, they lost multiple aircraft, helicopters and drones. Can anyone fill me up? This is for a deeper understanding of what happened, not to spin conspiracy theories.

@WIONews @sdhrthmp There is nothing wrong with this. ISRO should not be an organization trying to make money out of their research. What they have done must be handed over to Indian industry so that they can develop products that are useful for the citizens.

@swstica The kind of tweets that tech folks put out when they are completely out of touch with the hard reality of India. It was only few years before LPG even penetrated some villages. A significant chunk of the population was still relying on wood/dung cakes

most west countries moved to electric stove years back. i wonder why india couldn't imply it (or don't want to). so much safer and easier to use.

I'm loving that the twitterati is finally turning against the BJP government at the center for fooling the people for so long. India can set things right and it is never too late. #voteOutBJP

Smart City. Spiritual Capital. Prime Minister’s constituency. Yet this is the ground reality in Varanasi. Garbage dumped on streets and plastic floating in the Ganga at Dashashwamedh Ghat. If even the PM’s own constituency looks like this, what hope do ordinary cities have?

@sneheshphilip Let me add my 2 paise. NAVIC has been down for a long time - from before Sindoor. Initially (at the start) there were 4 (or 3) atomic clocks. Only one was Indian. All the imported ones failed first. I suspect this last clock was the Indian one. I will try and confirm this.
