It serves as a cross-border platform that structurally links schoollevel innovators, educators, and technology frameworks between India and France.  \no Stakeholders: Joint partnership between the Atal Innovation Mission (AIM), NITI Aayog and La Fondation Dassault Systèmes (France).  \nJaitapur nuclear plant  \nOn the sidelines of the bilateral talks between Narendra Modi and Emmanuel Macron, discussions were held on private-sector collaboration in the nuclear energy sector.  \no Jaitapur Nuclear Power Project is a proposed nuclear power plant in Maharashtra, on the Konkan coast. It is  \nbeing developed by Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited in collaboration with Electricite de France SA (EDF) of France.  \no Significance: It is expected to become the largest nuclear power plant in the world at a single site by installed capacity of about 10.380 GW.  \no Features: It’s a Generation III Evolutionary Pressurized Reactors (EPRs), which is an advanced type of Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) that will use enriched uranium dioxide (UO₂) as fuel. Utilises low-enriched uranium (with an enrichment level of about 5% U-235) .  \no Challenges: Since this project is positioned in the biodiversity-rich Konkan region, concerns about marine ecology and thermal pollution caused delayed environmental clearances. Also, the area is earthquakeprone and have raised questions about long-term safety even though the project is developing.  \no Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) is a widely used typeof nuclear fission reactor that uses ordinary light water as both coolant and neutron moderator.  \no In India, the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) has granted operational licences to NPCIL for two indigenous 700 MWe Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs) at Kakrapar Atomic Power Station (Units 3 & 4) in Gujarat.  \no A PHWR uses Heavy Water (D₂O) for both coolant & moderator, and the systems are physically separated with natural Uranium (contains only about  \n0.7% U-235) as fuel and online refuelling techniques. PHR is most commonly used reactors globally, while India & Canada uses PHWR reactors.  \no India’s nuclear power grid comprises 25 operational reactors across 7 power plants, generating 8,880 MW of electricity, which accounts for roughly 3% of the nation's total power generation.  \no Since India has limited","cbCaiccQ7qhT9LQl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiccQ7qhT9LQl","pdf",2239805,"English","# Bharat Innovates 2026 (15 June 2026)\n## Eligibility and participation\n## Key features and stakeholders\n# Jaitapur nuclear plant\n## Significance and reactor technology\n## Challenges and regulatory context\n# India’s nuclear fuel cycle\n## Stage 1 (PHWRs)\n## Stage 2 (FBRs)\n## Stage 3 (Thorium-Based)\n# Large Language Models (LLMs)\n## Definition and functioning\n# India’s sovereign AI initiatives\n## IndiaAI Mission\n## BharatGen\n## Sarvam AI\n# India Semicon Mission 1.0","[{\"question\":\"What is Bharat Innovates 2026 and when/where is it held?\",\"answer\":\"Bharat Innovates 2026 is a three-day event bringing together Indian deep-tech start-ups, innovators, researchers, and investors.
