With an assured supply of fuel for its power reactors programme, India could redirect its current uranium production to military use. Besides using liberated uranium, India has planned to increase its production from uranium mining.
It wants to step up uranium production from its Nalgonda mines from about 150 to 200 tonnes a year to 450 to 500 tonnes a year. It may divert at least 70 to 20 tonnes of mined uranium every year to produce 60 to 100 kg (per year) of weapons-grade plutonium by partially running one of its unsafeguarded power reactors at low burn-up.
Diversion of imported uranium or use of liberated uranium to make more weapons would be in line with India
