Answer: (1) 1, 2 and 3
उत्तर: (1) 1, 2 और 3
The SHANTI Act, 2025 ended the government monopoly over civil nuclear power by letting licensed private companies take part in plant operations, power generation and nuclear equipment manufacturing, so all three are allowed. Sensitive activities such as spent-fuel reprocessing, high-level radioactive waste management and heavy water production remain reserved for the Central Government.
