The southern state of Tamil Nadu tops the list with ~9.3 GW of cumulative wind installations, representing a 25% share of the total installed capacity in India as of Q1 2020. Since 2016 to 2019, Tamil Nadu has been the leading wind installer in the country.

Tamil Nadu tops the list of states with the largest installed wind power generation capacity in the country.

Early origins, 1944–1960s. India started its own nuclear programme in 1944 when Homi Jehangir Bhabha founded the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research.

It claims that the levels have been normal since the 1974 explosion, so it has never studied the risk of health fallout in Pokhran. “In all these years, the radiation levels have been normal in the background of the test site,” said SK Malhotra, the head of the department’s Public Awareness Division.

In 1974, India tested its first nuclear bomb, code named Smiling Buddha. However, neither country truly announced its presence as a nuclear power until a series of weapons tests in 1998, when India tested six bombs over the course of three days.

A neutron bomb is actually a small thermonuclear bomb in which a few kilograms of plutonium or uranium, ignited by a conventional explosive, would serve as a fission “trigger” to ignite a fusion explosion in a capsule containing several grams of deuterium-tritium.

Neutron bombs are purposely designed with explosive yields lower than other nuclear weapons. The intense pulse of high-energy neutrons generated by a neutron bomb is the principal killing mechanism, not the fallout, heat or blast.

In a 2-part episode of the TV show The Bionic Woman, Doomsday Is Tomorrow a cobalt bomb, dubbed by its creator as “the most diabolical instrument of destruction ever conceived by man” is used as a trigger for a more powerful weapon that can render the world lifeless.

Since the neutron bomb produced little or no radioactive fallout or residual radiation, the target area could be reoccupied within a matter of hours. The neutron bomb was tested successfully in 1962, but to Cohen’s dismay, there were few takers for it.

Plutonium-239, the isotope found in the spent MOX fuel, is much more radioactive than the depleted Uranium-238 in the fuel. Plutonium emits alpha radiation, a highly ionizing form of radiation, rather than beta or gamma radiation. When alpha-emitters get inside cells, on the other hand, they are extremely hazardous.

But a hydrogen bomb has the potential to be 1,000 times more powerful than an atomic bomb, according to several nuclear experts. The U.S. witnessed the magnitude of a hydrogen bomb when it tested one within the country in 1954, the New York Times reported.

A super-powered neutrino generator could in theory be used to instantly destroy nuclear weapons anywhere on the planet, according to a team of Japanese scientists. If it was ever built, a state could use the device to obliterate the nuclear arsenal of its enemy by firing a beam of neutrinos straight through the Earth.
