Uranium stockpile needed

Hyderabad: Other reported aims of the secret nuclear project are to: to expand the government’s nuclear research, to produce fuel for India’s nuclear reactors, and to help power the country’s fleet of new submarines.

Further the military observers in India and overseas admit that yet another objective is to give India an extra stockpile of enriched uranium fuel that could be used in new hydrogen bombs, also known as thermonuclear weapons, substantially increasing the explosive force of those in its existing nuclear arsenal.
