India has been operating fast breeder since 80's this will be first commercial scale breeder. Fast breeder technology means fuel eventually free. All safety and other measures, review processes were done before making this reactor well studied, not like the experiments they put up in the west.
Since 1996 India is operating the only reactor that uses U233 fuel, a fuel made from thorium.
So in 11th plan they are making an advance heavy water reactor which has won many awards internationally, for its clean, safe technology, as reactor of the future.
Forth, India is also designed a fast breeder reactor that utilizes thorium, which has won many praises internationally. This will be built in later plans.
Only reason I can think of having inspection is to cap the program, and make it dependent on west..As we should wait till our commercial scale fast breeder is working as to have the upperhand in deal.
