<mods:abstract>Dr. Raja Ramanna was a nuclear physicist. He served as Director of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (19721978 and 19811983), from where he oversaw India's first nuclear test. He also headed the country's Atomic Energy Commission (19841987) and served as the Secretary for Defense Research (19781981). In the interview, he goes into the history and purposes of India's nuclear program. He recalls the Atoms for Peace program as an "epoch-making event" and recounts the importance of key people Nehru, Bhabha and of foreign assistance to the country's nuclear activities, including the Trombay reprocessing facility. On the issue of nonproliferation, he describes India's attitudes, especially toward the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which Indians view as mainly a threat to the national sovereignty of states. The interview also touches on the London Suppliers Group, the International Fuel Cycle Evaluation, India's emphasis on plutonium and fast breeders, and Jimmy Carter's nonproliferation policy. Finally, he goes into the differences between the technologies for making a bomb and for generating electric power.</mods:abstract>
