Q4-10 Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been given in bold to help you locate them while answering some questions.
Technical accomplishments aside, the true significance of the reactor on board India’s first Indian nuclear submarine achieving criticality is strategic. INS Arihant marks the first step towards completing the third component of the triad of air, mobile land-based and sea-based deterrent forces envisaged in India’s nuclear doctrine. The advantage of nuclear submarines over conventional ones is their ability to remain under water for long without refueling, and thus to travel long distances. It will, however, be a long haul from here on towards making this sea-based naval nuclear asset fully operational. Having validated the performance of the primary power pack, it has to be proven that the propulsion system can indeed be driven by nuclear power. The subsequent sea trials, which would involve complex speed, pitch and rolling maneuvers, will test the ability of the reactor to withstand high acceleration loads and the fast response needed for rapid power ramp-up. These issues have posed serious nuclear fuel, material and engineering challenges, not hitherto encountered in land-based reactor systems. The Department of Atomic Energy and the Defense Research and Development Organization deserve credit for successfully overcoming these. The full fleet, according to reports, will include seven such boats over a decade. This calls for enhanced submarine building and reactor fabrication capacity. More important perhaps would be preparing the operating personnel psychologically for long endurance inside an underwater cocoon.
Considering that most submarine accidents have involved nuclear submarines — most of them Russian — safety assumes great importance. Especially since there seems to have been substantial Russian assistance in the design of both the boat as well as the power pack. From a safety perspective, there is a larger issue that needs to be addressed. The entire strategic sector has remained out of purview of the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board and the safety overview system in place for strategic nuclear systems has never been discussed in public. The issue obviously gets more complicated for sea-based nuclear assets. Moreover, the DRDO and the Indian Navy, under whom the nuclear submarines will operate, have limited expertise in nuclear-related matters. In terms of technology, India has now clearly demonstrated that it has the requisite expertise to launch a parallel stream of enriched-uranium based Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs). The land-based prototype 80 MWt PWR reactor at Kalpakkam is expected to serve as a platform for the proposed chain of 900 MWe PWR power reactors in the country, whose design is stated to have been completed. But that would call for a substantial increase in uranium enrichment capacity as well.
Q4 How are nuclear submarines different from their counterparts?
01. Its speed is much faster and reaches its destination in no time.
02. They can cover longer distances as they require to be refueled after a long time.
03. Its capacity to locate objects is tremendous and therefore is much safe to be used.
04. It uses advance technology hence is easy to operate.
05. Not mentioned in the passage
Q5 Which of the following is the biggest challenge posed for humans as far as operation of nuclear submarine is concerned?
01. They need to arrange for fuel in large quantity for making the submarine operational.
02. Very few people can accommodate in the submarine so its capacity is limited.
03. Its parts are delicate and may not function properly if used continuously without proper maintenance.
04. They need to train themselves to be able to live for many days underwater in the submarine.
05. They have already overcome all the related challenges.
Q6 Which of the following is FALSE in the context of the passage?
01. The full fleet would include eight nuclear submarines and this target would be achieved in a decade.
02. The design of 900 MWe PWR power reactor is yet to be completed.
03. Safety overview system for strategic nuclear systems was made public long ago.
04. Submarine accidents never involved nuclear submarines.
05. All of the above
Q7 Which of the following is not responsible for the operation of nuclear submarines?
(A) DRDO
(B) Indian Army
(C) Defense ministry
(D) Indian Navy
01. Only A and C
02. Only A and D
03. Only B and C
04. Only C and D
05. All of the above
Q8 Why is safety such a big issue related to Russian submarines, as mentioned in the passage?
01. There is no assistance available from Russians for the design of the boat and for the power pack.
02. Russian submarines remain at the target of other countries.
03. Its complex design is difficult to understand and Indian engineers find it difficult to ensure its maintenance.
04. It may go out of control in case of any attack as it moves at a fast pace.
05. All the safety issues have been resolved by Indian Navy
Q9 What does the sea trial of nuclear submarine, aim to test?
01. The capacity to function without fuel availability
02. The expected response for quick power ramp-up
03. The ability of the reactor to bear high acceleration loads
04. Only 1 and 3
05. Only 2 and 3
Q10 Choose the word most SIMILAR in meaning to the word given in bold, as used in the passage.

01. Cushion
02. Nuclear submarine
03. Insulate
04. Nuclear reactor
05. Defense
