(d)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Exp. All the statements (1), (2), (3) and (4) are correct regarding India based Neutrino observatory. Neutrinos are nearly massless, chargeless particles that travel at or near the speed of light. There are three types of neutrinos: Electron neutrinos, Muon neutrinos and Tauon neutrino. Electron neutrinos (and antineutrinos) are generated whenever protons change into neutrons (or neutrons into protons) the two forms of beta decay.<br>Neutrinos have a very small, but non-zero rest mass. It affected only by a weak sub-atomic force of much shorter range than electromagnetism, therefore they are able to pass through great distance in matter without being affected by it. More than 50 trillion solar neutrinos pass through the human body every second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q5_To_meet_its_rapidly_growing_energy_demand_w_opine_that_India_should_pursue_research_and_Devlopment_on_thorium_as_the_future_fuel_of_energy_In_this_context_what_advantage_hold_over_uranium\"><\/span>Q5.

Thorin can also produce about 8 times more energy per unit ma as compared to uranium.<br>Thorium also produces much lesser radioactive elemen because of the nature of its fuel cycle. Thorium cyda exclusively allows thermal breeder reactors as opposed faster breeder. It means that if the fuel is reproces reactor could be fuelled without making any additiona U-235 for reactivity boasts which means the nuclear can be extended by 2 orders of the magnitude witho complications of fast reactors.
