Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How India Counts its Future
Q: Why is the census not just a population count?
Because geospatial tagging and high-precision location data allow authorities to know where people live, how they are distributed, and how services should be allocated, enabling targeted welfare delivery and disaster planning.
SMR for India's Energy Security
Q: What are the challenges and how can India overcome them, particularly cost, public perception, and global partnerships?
Challenges include higher initial cost, the need for multiple units to achieve economies of scale, public perception of safety versus other fuels, and the role of international partnerships for tech transfer and fuel supply; overcoming these requires continued private participation, a clear regulatory path, and ongoing pilot projects to build certainty.
SMR for India's Energy Security
Q: What are India's capabilities and targets with regards to SMRs, and how is the Shanti Act influencing private participation?
India has a developing pipeline with a Bharat Small Model Reactor at about 200 MW and several smaller units planned by 2033, while the Shanti Act opens the industry to private players, which could accelerate manufacturing, partnerships, and deployment, though actual construction is still years away.
SMR for India's Energy Security
Q: Could you briefly explain to us what SMRs entail and how they compare to conventional nuclear reactors?
SMRs are smaller, up to 300 MW each, allowing mass production of components and on-site assembly, which can reduce capex and enable faster deployment and grid applications such as stabilization rather than primary power. They also benefit from enhanced safety features and potentially lower risk profiles than larger reactors.
The Iran Brief: West Asia in Historical Perspective
Q: What does the future of West Asia look like—more fragmentation or a new regional order?
The expert argues for a redesign of the entire regional order, driven by a lack of trust among actors and the need for a common external threat to unite disparate states, suggesting turbulence and risk of ongoing conflict in the near term.
