SST-Bharat

Intelligence Summary: SST-Bharat

Node Identity: SST-Bharat is a entity categorized under "MCF" in the india intelligence graph. Steady-state Superconducting Tokamak-Bharat - proposed fusion-fission hybrid reactor (130 MW total power), cost Rs 25,000 crore (~$3 billion).

Research Evidence: The following findings from 1 research document reference this entity:

1. Ajit Kumar Mohanty visited IPR and outlined future direction for the Indian Fusion Program with SST-Bharat, encouraging faculty toward "revival of SST-1." (Source: https://www.ipr.res.in/newsletter/2025-NL-3-140/NL_Mar_2025_HQ.pdf) ### Assessment: India's tokamak program is functional but significantly behind international state-of-the-art.
2. Confidence: ESTABLISHED --- ## L2: SST-Bharat and India's Fusion Power Roadmap ### Finding: IPR has proposed a multi-stage roadmap for Indian fusion power, culminating in a DEMO reactor by 2060.
3. The key intermediate device is SST-Bharat (Steady-state Superconducting Tokamak-Bharat), envisioned as a fusion-fission hybrid reactor with 130 MW total power (100 MW from fission, 30 MW from fusion), at an estimated cost of Rs 25,000 crore (~$3 billion).

Strategic Relevance: SST-Bharat is a tracked entity within the india network. With 2 documented connections to other entities, this node plays a supporting role in the network topology.

Network Linkage: This entity maintains 2 documented connections in the intelligence network: SST-Bharat succeeds ADITYA-U; IPR proposes SST-Bharat.
