IASbaba Daily Prelims Quiz
For Previous Daily Quiz (ARCHIVES) – CLICK HERE
The Current Affairs questions are based on sources like ‘The Hindu’, ‘Indian Express’ and ‘PIB’, which are very important sources for UPSC Prelims Exam. The questions are focused on both the concepts and facts. The topics covered here are generally different from what is being covered under ‘Daily Current Affairs/Daily News Analysis (DNA) and Daily Static Quiz’ to avoid duplication. The questions would be published from Monday to Saturday before 2 PM. One should not spend more than 10 minutes on this initiative.
Gear up and Make the Best Use of this initiative.
Do remember that, “the difference between Ordinary and EXTRA-Ordinary is PRACTICE!!”

Question 1 of 5
1. Question
-
Consider the following statements with reference to India’s roadmap for fusion power (SST-Bharat):
-
The roadmap focuses on a steady-state superconducting tokamak, relying on magnetic confinement to sustain plasma at extremely high temperatures.
-
The plan includes a fusion–fission hybrid reactor approach, where fusion reactions provide neutrons that can help sustain fission reactions.
-
The progress of such reactors is often measured by the Q value, defined as the ratio of plasma temperature to the magnetic field strength inside the tokamak.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
-
Solution: (b)
Explanation:
- Statement 1: The SST-Bharat is a steady-state superconducting tokamak, based on magnetic confinement, designed to sustain plasma for long durations at ~100 million °C. This statement is Correct
- Statement 2: The roadmap considers a fusion–fission hybrid approach, where fusion can supply neutrons that in turn trigger fission, improving energy yield and practicality. This statement is Correct
Statement 3: The Q value is not related to temperature or magnetic field directly; it is the ratio of fusion power output to power input (Q > 1 means net gain). This statement is Incorrect
Incorrect
-
Solution: (b)
